RE: PDF Transcoder bringing the server down
Hi, I tried to check for a graphical environment before the 'transcode' process using the piece of code Victor had provided (attached below). There is infact a graphical environment available (the method returns true).

FW: Handling multiple spaces
Hi, I got the problem regarding the NoClassDefFoundErrors. The new jars weren't mentioned in my Manifest file. I was able to generate PDF's from my application using the PDF transcoder. However, they do not have the fonts embedded and hence are quite large. I had a few questions regarding font embedding. 1. Can I use the same font metrics files(xml) with Batik that I used for FOP? 2. The SVG that I generate (using Corda PopChart) has fonts embedded within it. Say, I was using TradeGothic CondEighteen, it appears in my SVG as: !ENTITY s2 font-family:'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen';font-size:7;fill:#00;pointer-events:none; (Note the 'CF ' prepended to the font name). The font definition is like: defs font horiz-adv-x=1168 font-face font-family=CF TradeGothic CondEighteen units-per-em=1024 panose-1=0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ascent=950 descent=-216/ .. /font /defs (Again, the font is named as 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen'). Am I correct in saying that the 'CF ' part is supposed to be internal to the SVG file and not to be used outside it? The font in the metrics file is called 'TradeGothic CondEighteen' (which is what it should be). Now, if I were to use the PDFTranscoder to convert the SVG to PDF, do I need to replace all the 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen' with 'TradeGothic CondEighteen'? Also, while converting from SVG to PDF, are the font definitions defsfont ./font/defs taken into consideration? I mean, does PDFTranscoder use the font definition? (When I was using FOP to do this conversion, I used to form the FO file from the SVG file. In that, I used to keep only the SVG part and strip the definitions. I also used to replace the 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen' with 'TradeGothic CondEighteen'. Do I need to the same/similar thing here?) I am attaching a typical SVG file that is generated by PopChart.

RE: Handling multiple spaces
Hi, I am just not able to embed fonts into my PDF images while using PDFTranscoder. As a result, the PDF's are quite large. I created a config file with the font declarations and used the Config builder to configure the transcoder. But it does not embed the fonts. I could be doing something wrong; but I don't know what. I tried to remove the fonts tag in the config file; but even that did not help. What is interesting is that when I tried to convert my SVG (with embedded fonts) into a PDF using the batik-rasterizer.jar utility, it actually gave me a PDF with embedded fonts. In this case, I hadn't even provided any font information. What is the reason for this? Also, if this *phenomenon* can be banked on, can I try and use the batik-rasterizer utility from within my application? Is there any semi-stable release of FOP since 0.20.5 where the xml:space attribute is respected and which is ready for use in applications. It need not have all features that are there in the current version - I just want that attribute to be respected. If such a release does not exist, is there any code snippet that recognizes the xml:space attribute which I can plug into the 0.20.5 code and rebuild the fop.jar file? Wish you a Merry Christmas.

Now, if I were to use the PDFTranscoder to convert the SVG to PDF, do I need to replace all the 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen' with 'TradeGothic CondEighteen'? I've seen behaviour like this before but until today haven't investigated, yet. Simply use the same names in your font configuration XML so the font gets detected. You can define aliases (i.e. font-triplets) there. Also, while converting from SVG to PDF, are the font definitions defsfont ./font/defs taken into consideration? I mean, does PDFTranscoder use the font definition? (When I was using FOP to do this conversion, I used to form the FO file from the SVG file.

There's a todo item where these embedded fonts should be converted to Type3 fonts but that's not implemented, yet. I suggest you do the same stripping you've done for FOP.

That's why I said earlier, that you should use the PDF Transcoder (not FOP itself) if you can live without XSL-FO, because if you need XSL-FO (which I don't know) then you've got bad luck because there's currently no work-around. The CVS HEAD code is our code currently being redesigned and it will probably not work for any real-life application at the moment. I've just verified the following with success: - Download Batik 1.5.1 (http://xml.apache.org/batik/) - Extract the SVG from the FO file into a plain SVG file. - On the command-line say: java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar -m application/pdf pieUnicode.svg (This uses FOP's PDF Transcoder to convert SVG to PDF.

We then create the 'fo' file from this SVG. This is finally fed to FOP to generate the PDF. In doing so, legends in the chart are overlapping - the chart is getting cutoff on the right hand side. The SVG image is actually fine - which leads me to believe that the problem crops up at the 'fo to pdf' stage. Attached alongwith are the SVG and FO files as well as the PDF generated using FOP. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Saptarshi. 1102408131024.fo 1102408131024.SVG 1102408131024_fop.pdf 1102408131024.fo Description: 1102408131024.fo 1102408131024.SVG Description: 1102408131024.SVG 1102408131024_fop.pdf Description: 1102408131024_fop.pdf - Disclaimer - This message(including attachment if any)is confidential and may be privileged.Before opening attachments please check them for viruses and defects.MindTree Consulting Private Limited (MindTree)will not be responsible for any viruses or defects or any forwarded attachments emanating either from within MindTree or outside.If you have received this message by mistake please notify the sender by return e-mail and delete this message from your system.

RE: FOP distorting images
Hi Chris, I think I have got the reason for the problem - it is a font issue. The SVG created refers to the font 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen Bold'; However, there is no such font declared in my userconfig.xml file. I have attached my config file.

RE: MICR font in FOP as an embedded application..
Hi Anil,
We are using FOP to convert SVG images - FO - PDF. After forming
the FO file, we issue a command to FOP to convert it to a PDF. The call to
FOP goes somewhat like this:
String[] args = new String[]{-c, userConfigFile, -fo, inputFile,
-pdf, outputFile};
try {
CommandLineOptions options = new CommandLineOptions(args);
Starter starter = options.getStarter();
starter.run();
} catch (FOPException fopEx) {
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfEx) {
}
Here, userConfigFile, inputFile and outputFile are the paths of the
respective files. If you check the Fop.java source code, it does a similar
thing in it's main() method.
Regards,
Saptarshi.

Thanks guys,
As the userconfig xml within the jar s not being used, I guess I'll stick to
the approach mentioned by Saptarshi, which hapens to also be the one
suggested on the Apache FOP website, except one thing, in the embedded mode
we need to use the org.apache.fop.apps.Options class that represents the
'-c' switch used for the command line option.
If anyone has any other approach I'll be more than happy to hear from them.
Thanks everyone.
Anil

But, the main requirement is to use this behavior with FOp running as an
embeded application (using fop.jar).
Can someone please guide me to a thread that covers this ?
How to use a config file in an embedded environment is described on the
website:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#config-external
I am lost as to where should the custom font-metrics xml and
userconfig.xml
file reside when using the standard fop.jar (as the userconfig.xml already
exists in the jar)
Yes, there is indeed a userconfig.xml in FOP.jar, but its not used!

Conversion of a SVG image (RGB) into PDF (CMYK)
Hi, I am trying to convert an image in SVG format into a PDF using FOP. The SVG image uses the RGB color scheme. How can I ensure that the PDF output from FOP uses the CMYK color scheme? The SVG image is obtained using a charting tool, Corda PopChart, which does not support CMYK. Also, the SVG image (and hence the final PDF) contains fonts embedded within it.

Error while trying to open PDF(created using FOP) in Adobe Illustrator
Hi, We tried to generate a pdf (an image) with embedded fonts and are facing a problem. The process that we are following is outlined below. Process 1. 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.
