Is the text in "Key Facts" dynamic?  Why can't you use a 2 column table
in that region?  If the text is always the same, you should be able to
format it in such a way so that it looks like it flows from one column
to the other.

Underlining words

[Scott Moore]

Is it possible to underline words in a paragraph?  I tried using this with

you are under no obligation to do so


no obligation is bold, but not underlined.  I'm using FOP 0.20.4

RE: Pdf document is closing if I close another existing pdf.

[Scott Moore]

This issue has nothing to do with FOP.  It's actually a bug with Acrobat
Reader.  If you watch your process list, you'll see one instance of
AcroRd32.exe (Acrobat Reader), which is doing double-duty for displaying
both PDFs.

When you close the PDF outside of the browser, AcroRd32.exe dies, which
blanks the PDF in the browser.  AcroRd32.exe really shouldn't kill itself.
We had the same problem with Microsoft Word (imagine that).  That's what you
call poor AddRef()ing from the company who wrote COM rules.

Apparently there was a bug in previous versions which is fixed in 0.23.  The
character positions in the font have changed as a result.  Your symbol

I noticed some different behavior from RenderX's XEP.  While FOP will keep
all spaces, when words wrap to the next line, the words are left justified.
However, XEP will wrap the word to the next line and indent it one space.
It looks horrible.  Which product is correct in their interpretation of the

FOP Helvetica - is it really Arial?

[Scott Moore]

Font Gurus,

There's a debate raging in our company right now about the use of Arial and
Helvetica in FOP produced PDF.  After careful examination of both fonts, I
can see absolutely no difference, even though Helvetica has minor but
distinguishable differences from Arial.

I'm using the information on this website to distinguish between the two
fonts: http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html

It appears to me that Helvetica is actually Arial in the PDF.  Even when I
have Acrobat Reader 5.0 list the fonts, it says Helvetica maps to ArialMT.

So, my question is: is this a problem with FOP or Acrobat Reader?  Is
Helvetica something that Acrobat Reader renders or did FOP use Arial for the
Helvetica font?  I'm not exactly sure how fonts work in PDF, but I've read
Helvetica comes standard with PDF.  I find it strange that Helvetica is
mapping to Arial though.

I'd appreciate any background information you could give me on this subject!
Actually, what it boils down to is this: why bloat the PDF with embedded
Arial, when Helvetica is exactly the same font IMHO?

Thanks,
Scott

Adding Garamond font to FOP

[Scott Moore]

I've tried adding the Garamond font to FOP, and everything works fine except
when I need a bold italic font.  I never did find a TTF file for Garamond
Bold Italic, just bold and italic separate.

Is there a way to get garamond in bold and italic?  MS-Word seems to be able
to do it without a problem, but FOP gives a warning that it can't find it.
Is there something special I need to do for this case?

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the info.  I've figured out a workaround, which is to read in
fopconfig.xml into a DOM and add the necessary base directory path of my
servlet to the DOM, save it to a temporary file and then load that temporary
fopconfig.xml into FOP.   Not the ideal situation, but you gotta do what you
gotta do...

Adding Fonts - Must I use absolute paths in fopconfig.xml?

[Scott Moore]

I've got my own servlet with FOP which reads a fopconfig.xml file that I
deploy with the servlet.  So far, so good.

However, when I added fonts to fopconfig.xml, I had a bunch of problems
until I hardcoded the path to the font under my servlet.  Obviously, this is
a problem because my servlet (supposedly) can be deployed anywhere and I
need to use a relative path for the font files.

I set the baseDir beforehand, but that doesn't seem to help.

This works:



This doesn't:




Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Re: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose

[Scott Moore]

I just keep track of it myself.  Declare a member variable of type int and
increment it everytime a request comes in and decrement it after the request
is serviced (in a finally{} block, watch out for exceptions messing up your
counter).

Make sure you synchronize access to it and it should work just fine.

private synchronized int addThreadCount(int add)
{
  return (count += add);
}

... doGet(...)
{
int reportsRunning = addThreadCount(1);
if (reportsRunning > MAX_THREADS)
{
// Sleep thread until ready
}

try
{
// generate report
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// handle exception
}
finally
{
addThreadCount(-1);
}
}

RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose

[Scott Moore]

Each request comes into the servlet on a separate Java Thread.  I keep track
of the number of reports currently being generated and Thread.sleep(1000)
the queued threads.  Every second or so the threads wake up, check to see if
they should run (next in line and # reports running < MAX) otherwise they go
back to sleep for another second.

It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the general gist.

RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose

[Scott Moore]

The short answer is you can't expect a large number of users to ask for
reports at the same time and not run into memory problems.  Believe me, I've
stress tested my report server and hit this wall quickly.

However, if you write your server to only run X number of reports at once
and queue any other requests until other reports are finished, you can avoid
those problems and achieve a robust and stable FOP server.  At that point,
adding more servers can get you better scalability.

So far, this has worked well for me.

What happened to ZapfDingbats?

[Scott Moore]

I've been using the following construct to create a "bullet" in PDF:

l

It's worked in 0.20.1, 0.20.2, 0.20.3rc but it doesn't work in FOP 0.20.3.
Instead I get a pair of scissors.  As a matter of fact, it looks like the
whole font (or at least every character I tested) is a pair of scissors.

What's the fix for this?

I'm setting strokeSVGText to false.  I just tested it with the value true
and the problem goes away.  Too bad the font is so hard to read in the PDF.

SVG Font Problem

[Scott Moore]

I'm having a problem with SVG fonts in FOP.  When I use a Times italic font,
I get the following error:

ERROR   10190   [fop ] (): unknown font Arial,italic,normal so defaulted
font to any


I'm not even sure it's a Times font that shows up in this case.  Bold SVG
fonts have the same problem.  However, when I use a normal style Times font,
it works fine.

The problem has recently gotten worse because I've embedded Arial into my
PDF.  Now I don't get the warning, but it uses the Arial font!  Not only
that, but any spaces in the SVG text show up as hollow boxes.

Why is it looking for Arial?  Does anyone have a solution for this?  If not,
I'd be willing to look at the source code to fix it, especially if someone
could point me in the right direction.  Fixing this problem is a big deal
for me, so I'd appreciate any help SVG FOP gurus could give.

Thanks,
Scott

Make sure you use the batik.jar that comes with FOP and not the latest
release of Batik.

But obviously there is a problem with batik.jar. Check your classpath
again. Good luck.

Re: XML, XSL a real problem

[Scott Moore]

Yes, at least the XML part.  The XSLT is on the server so the client doesn't
send it, but I could get it exactly the same way I get the XML.

What exactly are you having problems with?  Writing the servlet code to
retrieve an XML document from a POST?

Title: Re: SVG Problem with FOP



Thanks 
for the reply.
 
The 
file does not exist, except in memory.  I create the XSL-FO from a 
transformation and then directly feed that Document to FOP in my servlet (I'm 
not using the command-line version of FOP).  The SVG is contained in the 
document and the url reference is local to the document.

  Are you sure that file that you have requested exists? You might be
  able to step through the code in a debugger and get a clearer idea
  of exactly what I/O error occured. Also check the bug lists as it 
is
  possible that FOP has special requirements for specifying URIs.

RE: Whitespace

[Scott Moore]

Okay, figured it out.  Sorry about the post.



Glad to see FOP supports that attribute!

Using 0.20.3rc, is there a way to preserve two spaces in a ?
Right now, it seems to be normalizing all my whitespace so my sentences run
together with only one space between the punctuation and the next sentence.

Re: Images in region-start

[Scott Moore]

content-height seems to be ignored.  No matter 
what I set it to, the image stays the same height.

  Hi Scott:
   
  Have you tried the "content-height"  and 
  "content-width" properties?

Subject: Images in region-start

I'm trying to place an image (JPEG) on the 
left side of my page that runs the whole length of the page inside the 
xsl-region-start.  But, for the life of me the best it will ever do is 
approx. 3/4 of the length of the page (8.5inx11in).
 
I've tried everything, including resizing the 
image until I'm about to scream.  It doesn't make any difference.  
Even if I stretch the image vertically, but not horizontally, it still is 
exactly the same height in the PDF!  I've tried using the width 
attribute, but it doesn't seem to increase the height, no matter if I shrink 
or expand the width.  The height attribute seems worthless.  By 
placing the "space-before" attribute on the block enclosing the image, I can 
move the image up or down the page, but I can never get the image to fill 
the whole page.
 
This is in FOP 0.30.3rc.  Has anyone 
successfully ran an image along the whole left side of a page?  What's 
the secret??  Thanks for any help!
