No space between characters
I have 2 almost identical Polish PDF documents created using FOP. The difference between them is one word (this word is repeated several times in different sections). These documents are created from a template and based on to whom they are directed (M/F), they have the word pana or pani inserted in blank spot (it's mister and miss in Polish). The trouble is that this rather slight change makes the characters mi (every occurence) glue together -- there's no space between them all over the document. I think it's because the ttfreader creates incorect metrics file for the font I use (Humanist). When I change font from Humanist to e.g. Arial everything is ok. Is there anything I could do besides changing the font? I'm using: - fop 0.20.5 - font Humanist (and metrics file created without -enc ansi, because I'm using iso8859-2 characters) - every file is encoded in UTF-8. - both win32 and linux - Adobe Reader 6/7 and GhostView Regards, nikos - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Amit, I agree with Luke. That is a good way to get started. Another great place to look is the FOP Resources page[1] .

Re: Query
I see. I am doing something similar. However, the XSL exists for me. I run this, getting an FO document in string form back. This string contains some HTML within the FO document, which needs to be further convert to FO objects (it is this department I am having my own trouble with). I tried to convert the HTML to FO in the XSL but was unsuccessful. I currently replace certain HTML tags with FO tags and strip the rest in java before I render with FOP. I would like to get Tidy involved at this point but I am getting some errors I have been unable to resolve. I suppose you could do something similar to me in which you looks for specific html tags and replace them with FO tags that perform the same function. Something like digester would allow you to parse the XML getting the contents of the nodes your are interested in. You could then sub out the tags and produce an FO document in memory that could be passed to FOP to generate your document. Honestly though, I'm not the best person to advise you since I have yet to get my own solution working and am not yet very strong in XSL.

RE: Query
I bet the dynamic XSL generation would be really a difficult thing if not impossible. Instead I would suggest to know all the HTML tags that FCKeditor generates. I am pretty sure it will be an almost equalent set of normal HTML tags. And once you know the those tags, write XSL templates to convert XML (call it XHTML or HTML in well formed XML format) generated by FCKeditor into FOs, and finally call FOP api to generate PDF.

Re: Image Resolution
Luke, Resolution is a tough nut. You can find more info on the FOP Graphics page[1]. A couple of patient people have done tons of testing, which you can find in the archives from a year or two ago. The way I got high quality was to create a 300dpi logo image that was larger than I needed, then specified width height attributes that required the image shrink to fit. It's not an exact science, unfortunately.

RE: Query
Dear Luke, hey buddy first of all let me convey that no one is best or bad .. everyone is gr8 and are good... so any help for anyone is helpful.. Tidy i feel is tool to clean up HTML and convert it into XML/XHTML and i feel it will not do that for FO ..or will does it... Secondly ur scenerio that u have re convert HTML elements in FO to FO... Why does FO has Html elements left over as ur XSL should convert it to all FO... why dont u modify the XSL u have to have full FO. Other wise in ur case u have to have new XSL which will handle ur FO objects also... and convert all into FO. Yes i saw Digester too and then i realised its good component if i have knowledge of format in advance as it will gives me events or what if it encountered some tag or something.. and accordingly generate PDF. But in my case i dont have advance knowledge and anythig can come at run time as FCK editor is javascript based editor and generates HTML strings.. if i had this information my 90% work is already done using ITEXT... i am successful in generating PDF and i believe if you have to do something on some event or what ITEXT is best as it gives you APIs to do sometghing as example if u encountered TD u can addcell in PDFTable or what.

Different Renderers...
My application currently renders a PDF document in the AWTRenderer. Often times, these documents are quite large and use more memory than is available to the clients machine. One feature we must provide is this ability to save a PDF. My question is this, is there anyway to quickly and efficiently pipe the PDF information that was already transformed to be displayed in the AWTRenderer to file, or do I have to do another transformation? Thanks! AR.
Re: Image callback for each page?

I was trying to understand the code so I knew the ramifications of creating a REST style interface for my dynamically generated images. You have answered my question. There's more, see below. It seemed like most of the readers would read the image into memory. So, one thought on an enhancement might be to always read the bytes in from the URL and then just hand that off instead of opening the URL again. A simple solution which may run into ressource problems for high resolution bitmaps, where you have to keep both the raw data as well as the processed image object in memory. Of course, this doesn't allow for future enhancements where it doesn't need to read the whole thing into memory. If I implement somethign like this, I would happily donate it back. Thanks, There are further considerations regarding image data retrival, which have been left to implementors by the FO spec. The same URL for retrieving an image may be used in several external-graphic FOs, and the same external-graphic FO may be rendered multiple times (as a child of static content, or if pulled into static content by a marker reference). This begs the question of how often the URL is accessed, with three obvious general strategies: - exactly once per unique URL in the whole FO document - exactly once per external-graphic FO - each time an external-graphic FO is rendered Independent image caching complicates the issue: image data may be discarded from the cache and retrieved again later. Technical issues like layout backtracking and out-of-order rendering of pages add further complexity. A special case may be an output format which doesn't require retrieving content at all (think of SVG where the FO URLs are copied through to the XLinks).

Re: Image Resolution
Luke Shannon wrote: If I specify one of the dimensions of an external image should this not ensure that the resolution used in the PDF will be the same as the orginal? I am trying to use a hi rez image as my header, however it looks like it is being written as 72dpi in the document, even though I specify the width. Any resolution metadata in a bitmapped image is ignored by FOP. The image code first gets hw in pixel, the computes hw in 1/1000 pt by assuming 72dpi. If this fits in the area, the image is shown exactly at this resolution. If the image would overflow the area, it is shrunk to fit while keeping the aspect ratio. If the area measurements are determined by an explicit height and/or width specification, and the image was smaller than the area, it is stretched to fit. If only one of height or width has been specified and the other dimension is determined by the parent area, the image is stretched to fit the area in the specified dimension while keeping the aspect ratio, which may overflow in the other dimension and cause all kind of havoc. If both height and width are specified, the image is scaled to fit without caring for the aspect ratio. If you specify the height and/or width and you know the image size in pixels, you can calculate the dimension (at least for non-bitmapped output formats). For example, a 1000x1000 image used in fo:external-graphics width=2in height=4in src=foo.img/ will be stretched and rendered at 500dpi in x direction and 250dpi in y direction. Note there are problems with images in static content. As a rule of thumb you will not hit them for the common case of images in the region-before and -after if you keep the extent of the body region larger than the extent of the other regions. Note that these rules apply to bitmap images only. The rules for SVG, either in fo:external-graphic and fo:instream-foreign-object, are different and quite a bit more obscure. As a rule of thumb, always specify *both* height and width on both the FO and the SVG document element, be sure to use identical height and width for the two specifications, and don't use pixels. For example fo:instream-foreign-object height=5cm width=8cm svg:svg height=5cm width=8cm ... should almost work as expected, while omitting or using different measurements on the elements is likely to produve unexpected results, in particular the SVG may be clipped (bitmap images are *never* clipped).
