Re: Select Printer with Print-Renderer
Hi ! Thank you for the reply. But this does not really help me. I am looking for a solution where I can choose one of several installed printers (on a windows-system; by its name perhaps, not via dialog) from within my java program and then send the generated pdf (or ps as alternative) to the printer. Seems like the jdk itself does not have some solution like that... Sorry for being some kind of off-topic.

Re: Select Printer with Print-Renderer
Ah, ok. But how did you realize the print output with 1.3 ? I have to use the windows-spooler in order to have some kind of error-management.

So you may be able to write some classes that do what you want. Its a bit fiddly though. FOP doesnt make use of the Java Print API because it needs to work on JDK 1.3, which I'm glad about because upgrading for my company would be a nightmare.

Re: Select Printer with Print-Renderer
Ok, thank you very much. Using 1.4 should be no problem, I'll give it a try then. I already thought of something like your TCP/IP-solution, but the problem is that I do not have any control whether the document has been printed after sending it to the printer or not.

I didnt need to worry about using windows or even unix print/error management. If you want to present a list of printers installed on the O/S to the user you are going to have to use Java 1.4. If you cant use Java 1.4 then you are stuck with using the default printer or use TCP/IP, where the user specifies either a UNC name or TCP/IP address and Port. Chris _ Tired of 56k?

Select Printer with Print-Renderer
Dear List, I try to use the Print-Renderer of FOP on a W2K System. The Renderer works with the standard printer, but is there a possibility to choose another printer ? I do not mean by printer dialog, but by giving the printer name for example. There should be no user input necessary.

Re: Select printer fonts from FOP
Hello Jeremias ! You have to get the PFM file for each font and create the XML font metric files as shown in [1]. Also add them to the userconfig.xml and you should be able to reference these printer fonts. I hope that helps. Ok, I get the idea, but where can I get the PFM-files ?

Select printer fonts from FOP
Dear list, I am using the PS output of FOP now. One limitation is that it does not support font-embedding. But is it possible to select the printer internal fonts that come with postscript from within the XSL-FO? If yes, how can I do that ?

Re: Printing PDF ?!?
Hi Chris ! I'm a bit puzzled by the first exception.txt you sent. Cant explain it. Anyway, the second exception you sent is what I expected, the PCL Renderer falling over because it cant cope with SVG. Sad to hear this... I checked the SVG you sent and its just got simple rectangles. So it looks like the website is wrong. Sorry that you've wasted time trying to get it working No problem, I had to expect something like this as fop is still in development... Perhaps you could take care of it that the homepage might at least be updated with a note that there are doubts about svg-support for the pcl renderer...might be I just made another mistake but don't get it at the moment. Of course I want to thank you very much for spending your time and knowledge to help me. Greetings, Ben - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Printing PDF ?!?
Hi there ! @Matthias: Thanks for your advice, but I already had it formated this way... I am not giving up *g* I looked around for a while on the Batik-Homepage because of this method not found message in the batik.jar. There is a FAQ and it says about problems with fop batik used together (http://xml.apache.org/batik/faqs.html#faq-28). It advices to remove the w3c.jar of fop from the classpath. But I don't find this file. Is it the xml-apis.jar in the fop\lib directory ? I played around with the included jar's in the JBuilder Classpath and especially with the order of the files. I also used the complete batik package from xml.apache.org/batik. And if I use this in classpath before the rest of the jar's from FOP I get another Exception. But I think this confirms only what Chris pointed out, that FOP's CPL-Renderer does not support SVGs. Here is the new exception, perhaps someone has an idea... java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org/apache/fop/svg/SVGElementMapping.addToBuilder at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.addElementMapping(Driver.java:439) at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.addElementMapping(Driver.java:450) at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.setupDefaultMappings(Driver.java:314) at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.init(Driver.java:222) at xml2pdf.ExampleXML2PDF.convertXML2PDF(ExampleXML2PDF.java:95) at xml2pdf.ExampleXML2PDF.main(ExampleXML2PDF.java:155) Exception in thread main However, I am off for the weekend now... *g* Have a good time.

Printing PDF ?!?
Hello there ! So, as I found out here (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-userm=102460147622314w=2) FOP does not support SVGs when converting to PCL. That is very sad as the next possibility for using dynamic generated barcodes with fop (Krysalis), is no solution for me... I'm now working on a solution where I convert the SVG (created with Krysalis Barcode) to JPG (using Batik Rasterizer) and then import it via fo:external-graphic into the xsl. This is a lot more complex and I think it will affect performance in a way that it will be useless for me... Another possibility would be to print the pdf-files directly or convert them to pcl or postscript, as the pdf-files look the way I want them to be... But the problem is that I have to print the pdf's directly from java. And as the final system will run on Linux as well as AS/400 it has to be without the printer driver. So far the idea was to send the pcl directly per tcp/ip to a network-printer. But with pdf this won't be possible of course... Perhaps someone here has another idea... ?!?

Re: Printing PDF ?!?
Thank you for the quick reply. I am indeed using the 0.20.5. Well, as soon as I have SVG-data in my xsl-file and render to pcl, I get a NullPointerException. Rendering to PDF with the same files works perfectly. Conversion to Postscript works too (at least for the Test-Files I am using) but the numbers under the barcode are not readable. I don't really know if there is something wrong with the svg's which Krysalis Barcode generates, but as it works with pdf's it should do with pcl, too. Perhaps someone here has worked with svg's and pcl already and has an svg which is working for him and can send it to me.

Error when placing svg into xsl with fo:external-graphic
Hello ! I'm trying to put a svg-file into my xsl-file and then let it run through FOP. The svg is a barcode example from krysalis barcode homepage. I used the fo:external-graphic command: fo:block fo:external-graphic src=example-code39.svg/ /fo:block I also included the svg namespace at the begining in xsl-stylesheet: xmlns:svg=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; But each time i run FOP with my xsl i get the following error: [ERROR] Could not load external SVG: null [ERROR] Error while creating area : No ImageReader for this type of image (file: example-code39.svg) [INFO] Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer The error does not depend on the output file.

Re: Error when placing svg into xsl with fo:external-graphic
Ok, I'm so sorry... I tried the whole thing at home now, and everything works fine. Seems like I have some old JDK on my system at work. Thought it is 1.3.1 which should be sufficient. Looks like I have to reinstall it or upgrade to a newer one. Sorry again for my mistake. Greets, Ben - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Convert to PCL with barcodes ?
Dear list, I am trying to convert XML/XSL to PCL using FOP. I need to embed a barcode-font to print barcodes. Unfortunately font-embedding is not supported by current release of FOP (0.20.5). Will there be a new version of FOP soon supporting font-embedding in PCL ? Or does anyone know an alternative for barcodes in PCL ? It is important that it gets not too complex as I have to manage a lot of printing-jobs in a short time.
