Apparently a product called PJ and also iText are
able to post-process a FOP-made (or any other) PDF
document. I suspect they will be able to append
another PDF, but haven't used these products yet so I
don't know for sure. See here:

Merging multiple PDF's into 1 file
I'm using a Tomcat servelt to generate multiple PDF's at one time. This represents a report with a bunch of attachments. The header and footer information varies and I may need to vary page layout. I would prefer to generate each PDF separately (using XML and XSLT with FOP) rather that one big PDF. But I need to merge the separate PDF's into a single file; preferably with bookmarks for each file. I would like to do this within the Java Servlet environment and not go to a cgi script if practical. Can anyone recommend some free (or cheap :) tools that would help to do this. I've googled this and followed several links for tools that promise to do this. I'm hoping to take advantage of others experiences to avoid banging through each one to see which ones deliver. thanks, fred. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: background lines
I would like to draw the background lines in a static region in the hope that it exists only once in the PDF file to reduce file size. Some of our remote users are still using dial-in and size does matter :) the info which is resident in the database is super-imposed over the background lines to allow users to hand-write additional information as required.

drawing background lines
I need to put horizontal lines on my PDF so the user can write more stuff on the printout. I tried using a background image. It looked good but doubled the size of my PDF. Seemed like fop was generating multiple copies of image. Our users have low-end computers and printers and a 30 page document is taking 30 minutes to print. I think this may also be a W95 :( sysconfig issues, but that's not an area I'm knowledgable in. I removed the image and tried drawing horizontal lines in the region-before. This worked, but the lines show through blocks in the body, even if I set the background-color of the block in the body. has anyone overcome this problem? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Database data - PDF [spam-BCC][Faked From Address][html-remov ed]

Mainly the reports I generate are in table-like form and currently I use the following pattern: I get data from PostgreSql database. I've have made a library from classes that wraps fo elements. For example I build a table cell using: FoTableCellAttributes rowCellAtrs = new FoTableCellAttributes(FoColors.WHITE, new FoSize(1,FoUnits.PT).toString(), new FoSize(0.5,FoUnits.PT).toString(), FoBorder.BORDER_STYLE_SOLID, null); FoBlockAttributes rowBlockAtrs = new FoBlockAttributes(FoFonts.TIMES,new FoSize(10,FoUnits.PT),FoColors.RED,FoAlign.TEXT_ALIGN_JUSTIFY,null,null,null ,null,FoAlign.VERTICAL_ALIGN_MIDDLE); new FoTableCell(text i want in this cell,rowBlockAtrs,rowCellAtrs) of course I have classes for table and flows and allmost everything I need to put in an PDF file. All this classes overrides toString method so every class will print the corresponding Fo code. For example FoBlock class will have it's toString result something like:fo:block font_size. Now all this classes are using the hierachy that fo elements have, so all this classes are added to their parents and finnaly to a class that represents the fo container. After i build this container I use a DataOutputStream to put the toString representation of all this classes in a Fo file. This file I pass to FOP to convert to PDF. The main problem is that this mechanism takes quite a long time to get done. Now the question: Is that a better way to do this? I realy have the feeling that there is way to do this more easily and more optimal. -- -- --- Dumitru Marius Catalin S.C. Vision Systems S.R.L.
