Re: Having a font which is not embedded in the PDF
On Nov 10, 2004, at 1:21 PM, Jeremias Maerki wrote: Ask Jeremias Good name for a company. :-) http://www.askjeremias.com/ heh! nice! Anyway, as far as I can tell you can omit the embed-file for Type1 fonts if the name under which the font is registered matches a font that is registered in your operating system's font subsystem. For TrueType this doesn't work because currently FOP does something wrong with the (multibyte) character encodings. It may work if you're using an 8 bit encoding though I haven't tested. This encoding problem is fixed in Foray where omitting embed-file might work, though I haven't tested either. I've used non-embedded Type1 fonts so the PDF/PS file sizes stay small for high-volume processing. The fonts were installed directly in the printer's RIPs.

Please do not cross-post to FOP-DEV and FOP-USER. Since all FOP-DEVs

Re: XPath 2.0 XSLT 2.0
Andreas, Could you explain how one would 'plug in Saxon 7 instead' of Xalan for parsing? I looked in the FAQ, and only found this blurb[1]: Problems specific to a certain XSLT processor, like Xalan, Saxon or MSXML, should be handled by processor specific lists. This includes problems with deployment, processor specific extensions, suspected bugs and processor specific APIs. Note that JDK 1.4 comes with an XML parser and an XSLT processor which are older versions of Xerces and Xalan, respectively, and both have a number of annoying bugs. See $$$FIXME on how to use more recent versions or other packages instead. hehehe... looks like this entry needs to be updated, so whatever information can be provided could at least be in the mailing list archives until the FAQ and/or site is updated. ;-) [1] http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#postquestions On Oct 20, 2004, at 8:43 AM, Andreas L.

Maestro,
Should be quite simple really: replace the Xalan jar in your JVM's
'lib/endorsed' directory with Saxon's jar. (Maybe to make sure all goes
well, you could also replace it in FOP's own lib directory, then
rebuild
FOP, but IIRC this shouldn't be necessary...)
Thank you Andreas! I'm sure future browsers for this issue will thank
you! Would you be willing to write up some documentation on how to do
this so I can add it to the FAQ as well as the Running page (unless it
would be more appropriate on the Configuration page).
Try it, and use the following in your XSLT to check:
xsl:value-of select=system-property('xsl:vendor') /
I haven't tried it yet as I haven't had the need. But I will flag this
message (and use it to update the docs when I get the chance...).
The theory:
FOP never references classes in Xalan's own packages
(org.apache.xalan.*).
All Xalan does for us is offer an implementation for the
javax.xml.transform.* API spec. Any provider of an implementation for
these
packages --Saxon, for example-- should work seamlessly with FOP.
The javax.xml.transform API spec hasn't been altered in any way as a
result
of XSLT/XPath 2.0 --it didn't *need* to be, which is the whole point,
of
course... XSLT can continue to evolve, but the javax.xml.transform API
should be generic enough to support possible changes.
In the same fashion, one could opt to use an XML parser other than
Xerces.
We offer Xerces and Xalan because we can distribute them freely with
FOP.
(We could also have opted not to distribute *any* XML parser or XSLT
engine,
and leave it all up to the end-user, but this would needlessly
complicate
things --no more running FOP 'out-of-the-box' :-( )
Cheers,
Andreas
Thanks again for the education!

I suppose I could write the documentation myself, but I'm a bit behind

from the Forrest Team), but I'm/we're not there yet. One nice benefit,
is that I've been doing a bunch of documentation (for my company and

A couple of things:

fo:external-graphic border-after-color=#013A6C
border-before-color=#013A6C border-end-color=#013A6C

width=85px space-before.optimum=4pt space-after.optimum=4pt
src=url('/pdf/certificadosCursos/certLogo.gif')/
Some other tips:
- You can use shorthand for border-color
- color, font-size, text-align are unnecessary
- content-height content-width are not implemented
So boil it all down, and you can use this:
fo:external-graphic border-color=#013A6C height=80px width=85px
space-before.optimum=4pt space-after.optimum=4pt
src=url('/pdf/certificadosCursos/certLogo.gif')/
This should work on the linux box. One other thing you could to, is use
a variable for the IMAGE_DIRECTORY then set the variable for each
machine:
(NOTE: xsl:variable elements must go near the top of xsl:stylesheet/
element, under xsl:include elements, but before xsl:template Search the
web for more info)
PC XSL-FO:
xsl:stylesheet version=1.0

Barcodes in FO output using a font
I need to add a barcode to my fo:region-after. If this were a static
barcode (i.e., one barcode per document), I would be just use
Barcode4J[1]. But since part of the barcode indicates the current page
number (d'oh!), I don't believe I can use Barcode4J for this purpose
(Jeremias, please correct me if I'm wrong :-D). I believe this means I
need to apply a barcode *font* to a fo:page-number/ element. Unless
there's a way to dynamically feed fo:page-number/ to Barcode4J (which
I don't think is possible), I think I'll have to use a font like this:
fo:block
font-family=barcode_fontF62Pfo:page-number/-0704/fo:block
(I have to admit, that I haven't tried with Barcode4J yet, but it's
downloading now!)
On the FONT front, was anyone successfully used barcode fonts with FOP?
Where can I obtain barcode fonts? I found a link[2] and I'll try some
of the files there.
UPDATE: I've been trying, but I'm getting errors ('[ERROR] unknown font
Code128JK_A,normal,normal so defaulted font to any' or '[ERROR] unknown
font FREE3OF9,normal,normal so defaulted font to any', depending on the

Dumb question: Have you supplied the userconfig.xml on the
command-line?
That's my only explanation for your problem. If I omit the
userconfig.xml I get your error messages. Besides that I've done
nothing
special while generating the XML metrics. I've used practically the
same
configuration (including fontBaseDir). I've even copied snippets from
your e-mail to reproduce the problems.
Jeremias Maerki
That was the culprit, so I guess it wasn't a dumb question. It was me
being dumb not including the config file. My only 'excuse' is to say
that I've never had to use a config file before now (although I'll be
using it in the future to play with strokeSVGText...)

Richard, On Aug 29, 2004, at 10:59 PM, Richard Van Deren wrote: I have bee using Fop for while in applications I am developing on the Mac. A couple of weeks ago Apple updated their Java VM, Java VM 1.4.2 Update 1. Their improvements made my fop processor stop working with the error: 2004-08-26 04:09:14.463 FopService[8097] Apple AWT Java VM was loaded on first thread -- can't start AWT. I was confused about this, until I remembered that a couple of years ago I was informed that AWT was not supported. The Java VM 1.4.2 Update 1, the support of Swing and AWT objects was improved, however, in their improvements they coded it in such a was as to not allow an application to start Java AWT on the main thread in their standard application pattern. This update created the above error. It worked in headless mode before the Java VM 1.4.2 Update 1. After a couple of weeks of frustration I was able to get FOP working again using a Cocoa detached thread, NSThread. There is a small group of us using FOP on the MacOS. I just wanted folks to know that FOP is usable on the mac and it seems to work well on its own thread. I am no expert on threads but a Cocoa thread is not a Java thread. That had me confused for a while. I would like to contribute some coding examples if they are wanted by the FOP developers. I would like some feedback on how I am doing it. In the Xerces C++ group they have a directory named Projects, that is where the MacOS Xcode project could go in the FOP CVS tree. I would be happy to add one if there is an interest. Thanks for letting us know. As I generally run FOP from the Command Line Interface using fop.sh, I haven't run into this problem. It is certainly of interest to me, and I'm sure others as well. Could you provide a list of steps/requirements to alleviate the problem? An example would also be useful and appreciated. I'm not sure how the coding examples should be submitted (perhaps through bugzilla--although this isn't exactly a bug in *FOP*--being sure to identify it as a bug which affects Mac OS X). We are considering adding a SourceForge project of tools which relate to XML/XML Graphics which might be a good place for this type of thing. Thanks again!

Re: Graphics in fo:region-end
ANOTHER UPDATE: I got the results I was looking for, not by using fo:external-graphics, but by placing the graphic in the @background-image for the fo:table-cell. Unfortunately, the background-position* attributes aren't working (the FOP Compliance page[1] does indicate 'yes' for Basic support, but 'no' Extended support). One frustration, I had to take my 'pretty' 300dpi JPG image and convert it to 72dpi, because FOP appears to render my 300dpi image at 72dpi, making the graphic larger than the space it occupies. The XSL-FO spec does not indicate any sort of background-image 'scale' or background-content-width attribute. I hope this information helps someone!

What kind of statistics can I get back from FOP after it has completed formatting?

Is there a result structure that gets populated and returned when formatting occurs, such that I can get statistics back through that structure? There is not one that I am aware of (I don't do embedded work ATM, although some in my company are doing some of that). I would suspect, that the logging tools being used may output some of this information. Barring that, I do know that FOP outputs some of this information by default (e.g., [INFO] [1], [INFO] [2], which indicate pages output). When DEBUG mode is used (-d from Command Line Interface) the number of pages in the last sequence (e.g., [DEBUG] Last page-sequence produced 2 pages.).

BACKGROUND I am creating a medical form and have 3 sections in my document. On the right side of each section, there is a string of text, rotated 90-degrees explaining what that section contains. This would be a nice excuse to use SVG if not for two reasons: 1) SVG text is rendering poorly in my FOP output (Jaggies, which could be font-related, though--I haven't had much need for SVG text yet); 2) more importantly, Batik doesn't play nicely headless system, and this project has the potential to run on a headless server. Since SVG isn't working out, I decided to use Graphics, and herein lies the problem. PROBLEM I have 3 graphics (each 35px wide w/ rotated red text w/ white margins) in an fo:region-end and I have a strange problem: the TOP graphic renders at slightly larger than the correct size; the MIDDLE graphic renders correctly; the BOTTOM graphic renders smaller than the correct size.

In addition, you failed to follow the USAGE: fop [options] [-fo|-xml] infile [-xsl file] [-awt|-pdf|-mif|-pcl|-ps|-txt|-svg|-at|-print] outfile which translates to (using your example): fop.sh -fo fonts.fo -pdf fonts.pdf In addition, to run FOP, You need to either specify the entire PATH to fop.sh (on unix, which is essentially basis of Mac OS X), or the entire PATH to fop.bat (under windows). Instead of what you have, try: /path/to/fop-0.20.5/fop.sh -fo /path/to/fonts.fo -pdf /path/to/fonts.pdf (NOTE: the above should be all on one line) Also, you need to put the entire PATH to the INPUT and OUTPUT files. If you're transforming XML and XSL files to output to a PDF file, each needs the direct PATH: /path/to/fop-0.20.5/fop.sh -xml /path/to/input.xml -xsl /path/to/input.xsl -pdf /path/to/fonts.pdf (NOTE: the above should be all on one line) In my case, since I have FOP installed here: /Users/Shared/_WebDLs/fop-0.20.5/ Since I don't have to put the PATH if I'm in this directory, I can change to it: cd /Users/Shared/_WebDLs/fop-0.20.5/ and then run: ./fop.sh -fo examples/fo/basic/fonts.fo -pdf fonts.pdf which will generate the fonts.pdf file in the /Users/Shared/_WebDLs/fop-0.20.5/ directory. There are many tricks you can do to make this process easier (i.e., add '/Users/Shared/_WebDLs/fop-0.20.5/' to your PATH; create a symbolic link from 'fop' to '/Users/Shared/_WebDLs/fop-0.20.5/fop.sh': In any case, although this has a 'simple' solution, you've made it clear that we need to update the 'Running FOP' page[1] to include examples of running FOP under Unix and Windows.

Clay,
I did read up on some of the baseDir mails on various lists.
Using baseDir I could reference the relative path to the image in the
xsl, but I would have to specify an absolute path in the baseDir, so
really that is the same as just hardcoding the path in the xsl.
My problem is that I do not want to require the application be
installed
in a specific directory structure, although, if that is the only way
perhaps that is what I need to do.
If I find a solution I will post it back.
Thanks for the help.

fo:region-end graphics anomaly
I'm having problems with graphics in fo:region-end. I want three narrow
graphics along the right-hand side (fo:region-end) of a page. All three
graphics are varying height (2.3cm, 10cm 13cm) but are the same width
(.3cm). The problem is, the 1st graphic is rendered width=.4cm, the 2nd
width=.2cm the 3rd width=.15cm (these are approximate widths).
I've tried:
- giving the 3 graphics different width values (e.g., .5cm .5cm .5cm;
5cm 5cm 5cm; etc.)
- using every combination of attributes imaginable (width/height;
content-width/content-height;
width/height/content-width/content-height; width; height;
content-width; content-height)
- placing the graphics in 3 tables
- placing the graphics in 3 table-rows
- placing the graphics in 3 blocks
My xsl-fo is below (the fo:table-version is currently commented out).
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I'm stumped.

I doubt that FOP can do it per se, but you could define it using a
variable in the simple-page-master:
fo:simple-page-master master-name=repeating page-height=28cm
page-width={$varRepeatingPageWidth}cm margin-top=1cm
margin-bottom=1cm margin-left=1cm margin-right=0cm
Then, you could check against the variable for the page-width variable:

The Recommendation warns about this in 5.9.13.1 Pixels. I suggest that anyone tempted to define lengths in px read that section of the Recommendation. It's not so bad if the units are completely internal, that is, that it only affects text, tables and the like. But when you import an image constructed externally, and defined in pixels for God knows what output device, you are asking for trouble. Well, perhaps we should use wording like this in graphics.xml: FOP always assumes a resolution of 72dpi on encountering pixel measurements, regardless of the output device, and converts all length measured in pixels in millipoints using 1/72 pixels per inch as conversion factor. The layout stage doesn't use pixels, even if the final rendering is on a bitmapped device like the monitor. A bitmapped image without explicit measurements is assumed to have the actual pixel counts as measurements. Any resolution declaration in the image metadata is ignored. I was about to make these changes, when I realized I wasn't certain where these edits would be made: Overview of Graphics Support http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#support-overview Graphics Resolution http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#resolution I am leaning towards the latter.

But it seems the unit px isn't enough to make the images look nice. Looking at the Graphics Resolution section it seems that the dimensions should be specified in inches to stop using the default 72 dpi. Thats right pixel measurements are not enough information for FOP to scale the image to a fixed size. FOP would need to know a resolution as well, but that isnt implemented right now. The only way FOP will scale the image to a particular size is if you tell FOP the measurement. If it's true that graphics measurements specified in INCHES yields better results than PX, that certainly is news, and would (if reproducible) warrant special mention on the FOP Graphics page. Can you also do a test to see if the results are similar if you specify mm and cm (millimeters centimeters of course ;-)) as well? BTW, I don't know if this is related, but GIF images do not scale well, as they are a form of a INDEXED BITMAP image. JPG images scale much better. This could be part of the problem. If you're working with line drawings, perhaps SVG might be a better format to use in your documents. This leads to the question: How can I find out the actual resolution of my images and calculate the dimensions in inches? Do I have to modify the generated fo afterwards to include the calculated dimensions? Dont you know the resolution of the images? It is difficult for me to answer this question as I dont know where you get the images from.

What is the correct syntax for doing this type of thing?
Thanks, Mike
I *think* the problem is that $x probably is equivalent to '1px' which
is a string of the characters '1'+'p'+'x' and there may be difficulties
with adding a number to a string. There is a recent discussion on this
in the archives, where someone provided some insight into how I was not
completely correct on that assumption with one aspect of XSL-FO (I
don't recall exactly which at the moment) however, that discussion may
not be appropriate for SVG calculation (I don't know).
What should be possible, is for you to modify your system to strip the
'px' for the purposes of the calculation with something like:
width={concat(substring($x,length()-2)+10,'px')}
I *hope* that'll do the trick, but you should see where I'm trying to
go with it...
