Printing PDF with background image
I wanted to print a PDF that contains a background image. The print process needs no user intervention. The example outlined in FopPrintServlet could not render the image, I'm guessing because of AWTRenderer?. Is there anyway I could do accomplish what I want? FYI. The same PDF with no background image prints without any problem. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
URGENT - Adding dynamic, non file system images into a pdf docume nt.
Title: URGENT - Adding dynamic, non file system images into a pdf document. I'm trying to produce a pdf document that contains dynamically generated jpeg images. The images are available within the session. I'm using a cocoon pipline match to serialise xsl-fo into pdf documents. I've explored the following options: 1.) Creating a cocoon servlet to stream back the image data. This work fine for images within HTML document. When I reference the servlet from an xsl-fo image source, my session is unavailable and only a new session accessible. 2.) Create a cocoon generator to turn jpeg image binary into a base64 encoded string and embed this string within an instream-foreign-object using svg. This method produces visible images, but the final pdf document is huge. It's like the jpeg compression is being translated into an uncompressed bitmap. fo:instream-foreign-object content-type=content-type:image/jpeg svg:svg height=176mm width=277mm svg:image width=277mm height=176mm x=0 y=0 xlink:href="" /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQAgLCgoL . . . . / /svg:svg /fo:instream-foreign-object I've already spent too much time trying to get this working. I've found some references to this type of issue in other mail archives, but the responses I've seen have been very vague. I'll be forced to drop using pdf reports and use ugly html if I can't resolve this very soon. If anyone has a solution that they have tried, please let me know. I'd hate to abandon fop and produce nasty html reports after getting this far! Please help Craig.

I am generatingXML - which is having some unicodes and these r writen as amp;#x2206; (for #x2206; ) When irender pdf using xslit does not show me actual unicode character but shows me #x2206.

Re: Getting huge no of errors
I've never seen this but I guess they are warnings from a validating XML parser. Maybe you have a Schema declaration in your stylesheet or something like that. Maybe you should rewrite the servlet to use a more JAXP-like approach as described here: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/examples/embedding/java/embedding/ExampleXML2PDF.java?hideattic=1rev=1.1.2.2only_with_tag=fop-0_20_2-maintainview=markup I don't know if this will help but you will have greater control over how the XSLT process is done.

Re: Printing PDF with background image
You're not printing PDFs if you use the AWTRenderer, strictly speaking. The formatted document is painted on a Graphics2D object. The problem you have, as you guessed, lies within AWTRenderer which does not implement drawImageClipped and drawImageScaled. If you implement these methods the background images will appear.

Re: URGENT - Adding dynamic, non file system images into a pdf docume nt.
So my answer [1] didn't help? You could have said so earlier. What were your problems with my proposal? What you need just doesn't exist in FOP. The protocol handler is something that might be found somewhere else but can then be used inside of FOP. I've once started to write such a protocol handler but it's nowhere near finished. I'm sure this approach will work but it'll take some effort.

You simply have to make sure that in the XML you generate you see @x2205; and not amp;#x2206;. Then it should work. Can't say more without seeing a code snippet showing how you generate this codes.

Re: Escape problem ?
Aha. Since Java internally uses Unicode you should be able to simply pass in the normal Unicode character, not the already escaped character because DOM will think that you want to output text (#x2205;) not the character. Once you pass in the Unicode character the serializer should handle the Unicode character for you automatically. The whole thing is probably easier than you think. :-) On 17.02.2005 09:54:51 Manisha Sathe wrote: I am using DOM to generate xml file.

Re: Using Date/number datatypes with SAX events (Re: Seeking for expert opinion)
I'm not sure I'm getting you. Anyway, SAX doesn't care about dates or floats, only strings, so you'd have to convert these datatypes yourself to a suitable string representation (dates to ISO8601 for example). Probably if you're following my example you can extend the EasyGenerationContentHandlerProxy (awesome name, right?) to handle special datatypes for you. In the end you simply have to call the characters() method to send the values as strings. HTH.

If this doesn't help, check your JDK version and upgrade if necessary, and check your classpath and endorsed directories for undesirable XML parser libraries (there was a Crimson release, rather long ago, which validated on encountering a DOCTYPE with an internal subset even if not told to validate) You can also expand any entity declared in the DOCTYPE in the stylesheet, and get rid of the DOCTYPE decl completely.
