RE: How do you switch between page-sequences?
Patrick, Although next time you might consider posting a such question to a pure XSLT newsgroup/mailing list; You can have to simple-page-master, one defining a portrait layout and the other defining the landscape layout. Name one portrait and the other landscape. Then you can have something like: xsl:template match=XMLTABLE_PARENT_NODE fo:page-sequence xsl:attribute name=master-reference xsl:choose xsl:when test=0 = count(xmltable)portrait/xsl:when xsl:otherwiselandscape/xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:attribute !-- ... -- /fo:page-sequence /xsl:template Regards, Dennis JD Myrén Developer Oslo Kodebureau Tel: (+47) 98 00 11 92 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.oslokb.no -Original Message- From: Talken, Patrick (AGRE) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 4. mars 2005 17:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do you switch between page-sequences?

What I need to have is a document that starts with pages in portrait and then at some point in the document switch to landscape for an unknown number of pages and then back into portrait for an unknown number of pages. The switching between portrait and landscape and then back to portrait will be determined by the presence or absence of the tag xmltable.

RE: RE : Contributing to FOP (Re: representative example needed)
Hi there, Sorry, My goal is to post these files, however there are some work I have to do on them in order to make them look nice and clean, I really want to do that before anyone looks at them, to really get them representative, but I have had a lot of other work lately, so I havent been able to finish them up yet. For us it has really been what the transform produces that was critical. I never took the time to develop nice and efficient XSLT transforms. One example is the graphs in those PDFs, I generate those graphs with an intermediate tool that I wrote which generates SVG graphs from data and layout input in XML format. This SVG graphs is first generated as separate files, then copied into the final FO document at FO compile time, using XSLT document() function. This is a rather odd approach which I do not know how I can best present to the FOP users/developers who might be interested in seeing the solution, I am therefore thinking of moving these solutions to EXSLT instead, and use _javascript_ to compute layout and render the graph to SVG. XSLT itself is unfortunately not enough to generate these graphs. I was glad to see there where actually FOP people that was a bit interested in the work I have done with FOP, now i do not want to disappoint people by sending these XSLT transforms that is just not clean enough as of today.

RE: representative example needed
I should say a few words as well. I work as a computer programmer for a small software firm. We first started looking at FOP late 2001, because we had a potential bank as customer who liked to have their public yearly funds development reports produced by us. By Norwegian law, the development of a bank's funds must be reported to the public 2 times a year. So there is loads of data that has to be processed and visually presented(both print and PDF for web), this would be almost impossible to do by hand. We have two of Norway's biggest banks in our portfolio by now. This has been a great success for us. The only problems we have is, since we use PANTONE/CMYK colors for print documents, we need to carry out an automated color replace job since FOP only handles RGB. We have had some minor layout problems due to the lack of support for the space-before.conditionality/space-after.conditionality attributes(or whatever it is called), that would have made it possible to insert spaces between objects in a flowing page only where appropriate. FOP has really helped us here. We have thought for a long time that it is time to give something back to FOP, in form of development contribution. I have been programming PDF components for a long time and know the PDF file format, as well as XSL-FO. Therefore, i think i might be able to help out.

We have a layer of DB access objects which produce XML for reporting purposes. Rather than plug in an expensive off the shelf reporting tool I suggested and prototyped an XSLT/FOP reporting architecture. It works. The largest report so far has been 3000 pages (why anyone would want a report 3000 pages long is beyond me) and it renders quite quickly for a report of that scale. I am also using it online to produce on-demand PDF versions of reports originating in XML form. I haven't done anything fancy with FOP yet but so far I haven't had to. I want it to help me produce well-formatted tabular reports reliably and on schedule. It works perfectly so I can't ask any more than that. Okay, that is perhaps not entirely true. I wouldn't mind being able to specify multiple output files for the larger reports, but that, frankly, can be dealt with higher up the processing chain.

Success stories ([1] is my favorite)--as well as failures (honesty of its limitations also being helpful in increasing confidence in FOP)--are always welcome on this list. Oh, you want success stories. That I can do. I use FOP to produce all the documentation for a small software firm. I am a consulting technical writer (though I have been programming at least part time since 1987). I am responsible for creating documents both for the company itself and for several customers (each of whom naturally wants their own logos, legal wording, and so on). I use two primary stylesheets with FOP: One to produce most of my conventional documents (user guides, API guides, etc.) and another specifically for data dictionaries. The firm specializes in data warehouses for the software industry, so each customer needs a customized data dictionary. So far, the largest has been over 1600 pages in size, and FOP produces it in about 2 minutes. By the way, I use Saxon to write the FO source, since I use a number of XSLT 2 features. I also use Saxon to write the HTML versions of our documents. The only thing I really wish FOP had is better control over page breaks. I use small tables to keep headings with their trailing paragraphs and images with their captions. Other than that, I use an attribute in my five levels of heading elements to force a page break (with break-before), so I can make things look OK. Still, I wish it did better with keeps and breaks in general. I gather that's the big problem that

Page background color
Hi. I have this page with objects, some of them are positioned at strict and exact locations(they are placed in static-content), and one is a flowing object(a table in flow). Now i try to do a simple thing, just setting the background color of the entire page. I have only succeeded to color the background of the region-body region, where the flowing table is located. The static content i have not succeeded to color(static-content is mapped to region-before). Is there a way to set the background color of the entire page, regardless of whether objects are placed in static-content or flow? One more question; the flowing table is often flowing through not only one but a sequence of pages. The static content is repeated on every page where the table is flowing. I would like not to repeat that static content, but rather have it rendered only at the first page. I really appreciate help.

We first generate a SVG image of the Chart using Corda PopChart version 5.1. - The reason for choosing SVG as an intermediate image format is that it supports embedding of fonts (which reduces the file size). If we try to generate a PDF directly using PopChart, the fonts are not embedded and the image file turns out to be pretty bulky. 2. Data from the generated SVG is extracted and fed to the Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor). 3. The FOP generates the PDF version of the SVG image. Problem The PDF generated does not open in Adobe Illustrator. In Illustrator version 9, it says that Missing Double-byte fonts have been substituted with the default font. In version 11 CS, it says that Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Could not create internal representation of XMP metadata. However, these images open up fine in Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat Reader as well as Adobe PhotoShop. Also, if we open the image in Adobe Acrobat and save it again, subsequently it opens up fine in Illustrator. It is important that we be able to edit it using Illustrator as that is what the users of the system will be using. We are looking for reasons as to why it's not working; are we missing out any detail? Attached alongwith are the following files: 1. 109...svg - This is the SVG image generated by PopChart. Opens up fine in IE. 2. 109...fo - Intermediate file produced by FOP. 3. 109...pdf - Final PDF generated by FOP.

RE: Fop generates cryptic font name
As far as I know this is correct.

I generated the metrics files with fop and they look like this: font-metrics type=TYPE0 font-nameArialNarrow/font-name embed/ ... However, fop generates this in my PDFs: 8 0 obj /Type /FontDescriptor /FontName /2Ebbf7ArialNarrow As you can see, there are a number of cryptic characters before the font name. Unfortunately, every time I re-run my program, these characters are different. This leads to a situation, where we have 1000 documents with (supposedly) 1000 different fonts, so the RIP continually re-generates the font, because it thinks it is a new one. This slows output down considerably. So, where does that prefix come from and how can I avoid it?

Table columns with custom font incorrectly aligned
Hi again. I use FOP to generate PDF documents from XSL-FO documents. The resulting PDF documents contains a big table, and it uses a custom font (called Signa). The font files needed are embedded in the document. I used the PFMReader utility to generate XML metrics files from these 3 different font metrics files (PFM files). The table in the PDF document typically uses right aligned cells. My problem is, the columns are not properly aligned, a right aligned column gets to look something like this: 12363474 43382 39 93 9393 64484505 38483 I tested with a base 14 font, no problems. Could it be that the generated font metrics is incorrect? Regards, Dennis JD Myrén Developer Oslo Kode Bureau Tel: (+47) 98 00 11 92 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.oslokb.no

I used to propose to manually remove the kerning elements in the generated XML font metric file. This disables kerning for this font but normally solves the alignment problem. I like that proposal.

You're confusing things, I'm afraid. It's correct that some metric information needed by FOP is not present in PFM files, only in PFB (but which are currently not parsed). The problem here is most probably kerning. We've had that problem before. I just can't find the right thread right now. I think Jörg had an explanation (but I don't remember it).

RE: CMYK again
Well, in FOP 0.20.5 it is possible to generate uncompressed PDF documents. Although this may increase the file size, sometimes dramatically, it makes the RGB-CMYK replace operation much simpler, Because the PDF document wont need to be decompressed before performing those tasks. Then, what you will need is a regular expression, that finds any 'RG' or 'rg' color commands, to replace them with 'K' or 'k', respectively. Of course, the expression needs to be smart enough only to replace occurrences of 'RG' or 'rg' that is actually color commands. Searching for occurrences of three space separated numbers followed by space and then 'RG' or 'rg' is a hack, that might (but only might) be good enough. Then, the XRef Table needs to be rebuilt. This tasks should be possible to do with another regular expression, That searches for any occurrences of '[anInteger] [anotherInteger] obj' and adds the byte offset positions of these matches into a new XRef Table, that in the end should replace the existing XRef Table. Also, the number on the second last line of the document should be replaced with the number of bytes written until the occurrence of the last 'endobj' command. There is a number of plug-ins, that can be used from within Adobe Reader to convert the RGB colors of a PDF document into CMYK colors. There is a tool named QuiteABoxOfTricks that can be found at http://www.quite.com doing this. I am sure it is possible to setup a batch processing solution as well, in order to create a totally automated hack solution for this lack. PitStop server is another solution.

Subject: Question about Word character encoding.
Hi,
I have a little query : I am looking for a table with the hexadecimal code
for the MS Word specific characters (eg: ... or the ' character).
I am coding a java class that will clean the Word input to avoid FOP to
render specific character as #.
eg :
if (c == 0x85) {
stBuffer.append(...);
} else {
stBuffer.append(c);
}
I looked over the web using google and didn't find it ... I began the work
with an hexadecimal editor, but a such table would be really usefull ! =)
The best would be a existing class, but I don't think it exists yet. If
someone need a such class, I'll send mine here once I will have finished
to code it.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Dennis,
Here is the function I just coded to resolve my issue with the Word's
specific characters (appearing as # in the resulting PDF). As I said, I
did'nt find any complete table of the M$ Word's specific characters, so
this function is not complete at all, but it is enought for my problem !
And it's not optimised at all, but it didn't slow my process so much !
A stupid java question, should I make a first test like :
if ((source.indexOf(0x85) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x91) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x92) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x93) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x94) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x20) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x96) 0)
(source.indexOf(0x9C) 0)) {
stBuffer.append(c);
}
Cheers,
Simon

Hi. I have a simple table with a heading. I want to set the height of this table heading to a specific height. It seems to ignore the 'height' attribute placed on the fo:table-header element. Instead, it automatically sets the height of the heading depending on the number of rows and the font, and the amount of the text. Is there anyway to manually hard code a height value in the FO document, which wil be the height of this table heading? Regards Dennis

RE: Embed font results in FontFormatException ?
Hi. Do you have any advice for me now, to get the text elements rendered correctly? Did you try to use my font in a PDF? Sorry if bothering you all the time.

Hi Dennis I was totally blind when I read your initial mail. Sorry, I was wasting your time. See my comments below. On 15.11.2002 11:33:20 Dennis Myrén wrote: Hi there. I am using the FOP tools to generate PDF output from FO documents. In the PDF document, i need to embed a PostScript Font named StandardGroteskBSK. This is my userconfig.xml file: configuration fonts font metrics-file=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\FontMetrics\SK021___.xml kerning=yes embed-file=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Type Manager\psfonts\SK021___.PFB font-triplet name=StandardGroteskBSK style=normal weight=normal / /font font metrics-file=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\FontMetrics\SK051___.xml kerning=yes embed-file=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Type Manager\psfonts\SK051___.PFB font-triplet name=StandardGroteskBSK style=normal weight=bold / /font /fonts /configuration I get no errors during the FOP.bat batch job while generating the PDF. However, text in the PDF document(etc. cells in tables) are very bad aligned, it looks awful. I read that sometimes one need to manually alter the PFMReader generated XML font metrics file, to correct the approximated values. I followed an example to do that with my XML metrics file, but the result is as bad as before. When placing the PDF object in an Illustrator 10 document, a messagebox pops up: The document C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\output.PDF contains objects that have been interpreted. Missing Type1 fonts have been substituted with the default font. As the PDF elements are no longer objects, i cant select a text element to see if it is the correct font. I think I know what causes this problem. I believe that the PFB file is not embedded correctly into the PDF file. There are little segment prefixes in the PFB file that are not directly described in the Type 1 specification, but only in the Download Fonts spec from Adobe. Adobe Acrobat doesn't mind that, but maybe Illustrator doesn't like that. I'll try to fix that. The only problem I have is that I don't have Adobe Illustrator to test afterwards. I'll send you a PDF to check when I've got it. I then tried the parameter -print with FOP.bat, to print the document directly. First I embedded Verdana with this print job, that worked. Then i used this PostScript font StandardGroteskBSK, which raised a FontFormatException. This MUST fail. -print invokes the AWTRenderer. AWT does only support TrueType font to be loaded from a file, but not Type 1 fonts. That's why you get an error. So this means you can't use a Type 1 font if you want to use the AWT/Print renderer. Try removing the embed-file attribute in the userconfig.xml and check if the font is properly used if it's installed on your system. Of course, you will have to reenable embed-file if you generate a PDF with embedded fonts.

RE: PFM font embedding problems.
Step-by-step instructions described at http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html, but looks like you know it already. Show us the font definition in your userconfig.xml and check if FOP complains about anything in a debug trace. Oleg Tkachenko eXperanto team Multiconn Technologies, Israel Hi all. Thank You for all help so far, with my PFM font embedding problem. I am very thankful. My implementation in the userconfig.xml file looks like this (as childs of the fonts node): These are two declarations, one for the normal weighted font, and one with bold: font metrics-file=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\FontMetrics\SK021___.xml kerning=yes embed-file=C:\program files\adobe\adobe type manager\psfonts\PFM\SK021___.PFM font-triplet name=StandardGroteskBSK style=normal weight=normal / /font font metrics-file=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DVDebugger\bin\Debug\FontMetrics\SK051___.xml kerning=yes embed-file=C:\program files\adobe\adobe type manager\psfonts\PFM\SK051___.PFM font-triplet name=StandardGroteskBSK style=normal weight=bold / /font The xml font metrics files are generated without errors.

But when using SVG, i succeed to use this font, using the name: StandardGroteskBSK-Regular for example: text x=100 y=100 style=font-family:StandardGroteskBSK-Regular;This is StandardGroteskBSK-Regular/text or StandardGroteskBSK-Bold to get the bold one. Which is the actual name here? I am a little bit confused about that. Sure its me doing something wrong here. If anyone has a clue, that's great, but I understand the complexity of my problems here.

RE: PFM font embedding problems.
Does Acrobat open the PDF without problems if you don't embed the font (remove embed-file attribute)?
