Re: EPS image printing problem
Since I indicated Ghostscript users should use 7.06 in that POST, can you confirm whether or not your problem still exists in 7.06? I have only tried viewing the images with 7.04 so I wouldn't know about 7.06 but with 7.04 the images shows up as intended... I've tested 7.06. It works.

Re: PDF-PS-PDF with EPS
Hi Maestro, The bug you asked for is commited and the information you posted below looks correct to me. I hope this clears up some stuff (but I even hope more that in FOP 1.0 the eps's will allways show op in acrobat programs ;-).

Please read the changes below, and help me make certain it adequately addresses the issue. I'm posting the entire EPS section below (the main addition is the new warning item toward the bottom--does anything else need to be changed?): section id=eps titleEPS/title pFOP provides support for two output targets:/p ul liPostScript (full support)./li li PDF (partial support). Due to the lack of a built-in PostScript interpreter, FOP can only embed the EPS file into the PDF. Acrobat Reader will not currently display the EPS (it doesn't have a PostScript interpreter, either) but it will be shown correctly when you print the PDF on a PostScript-capable printer. PostScript devices (including link href=http://www.ghostscript.com/;GhostScript/link) will render the EPS correctly. /li /ul warningWhen using link href=http://www.ghostscript.com/;GhostScript/link to display inline EPS, it has been link href=http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=10891290142r=1w=2;reported that more recent versions have problems rendering inline EPS/link.

RE: PDF-PS-PDF with EPS
Thanx! We switched from 8.11 to 7.06 and it also works with us now! Maybe something to add on the site? Regards, Wouter de Vaal I've just tried using GhostScript 8.14 and it doesn't work here either. But it works with GNU GhostScript 7.06.

However when I try this, it doesn't work, GhostScript even seems to just remove the EPS from it, (PDF == 10MB, PS == 3KB), do I need some extra options? Idea's?

RE: What XSLT and XSL-FO editor do you use?
We've researched the issue as well and up to know we didn't find any editor that has reverse engineer capabilities. It's all one way, you can get the XSL-FO out of it, but once you changed that, it can't be read back into the editor. So I guess we just have to be patient and wait for someone to create this tool (which will probably have a nice price-tag). Oh and concerning XMLSpy, you might want to conside oXygen, XMLSpy is good, but if you just want a tool for editting, xsl processing and debugging, oXygen is way cheaper (and it's Java!). Wouter -Original Message- From: Roger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: What XSLT and XSL-FO editor do you use? I'm wondering what editors you use to create your XSD, XSLT and XSL-FO documents. At the moment I'm using a trial version of Altova XMLSPY and Stylevision. XMLSpy is meant to create the xsd, and sample xml-data-documents. Stylevision is meant for the FO and XSLT templates. XMLSpy is okay as far as I can see, but Stylevision has one big drawback: you can't edit the code in it. It only has a wysiwyg editor, which works quite okay, but not always like I want it. Now I merely use it to create a quick-start template, and then edit in jEdit. With the proper plugins installed, jEdit works really nice. My problem is that I cannot get the new code back into Stylevision. At the Altova website they try to present this as a feature, but of course it's not. Do you know of any good wysiwyg editor for FO, and one that allows you to edit or import the code? I don't expect Dreamweaver quality. Other good tools are also welcome. XMLSpy works fine to create an XSD, but I've seen a lot of tools out there, so I'm wondering what your experiences are, what tips you have.

Re: Free Visual tool for making fo files
It's okay for making initial designs, but you can't reverse engineer with it (reading hand-made FO templates), and because of that, IMHO, it has no real power.

external-graphic and caption

Re: How to capitalize text ???
You should use XSLT for this: xsl:variable name=uppercaseABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/xsl:variable xsl:variable name=lowercaseabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/xsl:variable xsl:template match=text() xsl:value-of select=translate(.,$lowercase,$uppercase)/ /xsl:template This will translate all lowercase text in XML to uppercase.

Re: xsl in WAR
Hi, I read about how retrieving images in WAR files. But how to access xsl-files located in WAR files. My xsl-fo file includes another xsl file: xsl:include href=common.xsl/ However, while running the web-application, I get a java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\jboss-3.0.4\bin\common.xsl I thought, just like images, FOP would look into the baseDir location. Any ideas? Regards, Laurent. Maybe you should let the server unpack you war, so the common.xsl file is actually on the filesystem..

block-container taking the width of it's children
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to let a block-container take the width of it's containing block. So in the following example, it would take the actual width of the external graphic. fo:block-container top=230mm left=40mm height=30mm position=absolute fo:block fo:external-graphic height=30mm src=sign.gif/ /fo:block /fo:block-container Anyway, the above example doesn't work..

Re: block-container taking the width of it's children
No, this isnt possible in FOP. In general, XSL-FO will let you do this, its just that FOP only has limited support for block-container. Why do you think you need this feature? Perhaps there is a different way to achieve the same effect? I'm creating an editor in which one can upload images and it's got a feature to specify the width or height only, so it scales it nicely (like in html pages). This content get's dumped into xml and from their I do a transformation with fop.. fo:block-container top=230mm left=40mm height=30mm position=absolute fo:block fo:external-graphic height=30mm src=sign.gif/ /fo:block /fo:block-container The current version of FOP requires width to be specified on block-container. And if you dont specify width on external-graphic, your image will be rendered at 72dpi. Well your last remark ends my exploration immediatly, I can't have the quality of the pictures be ruine because of a nice editor feature. I'll just have to fix something in my program to do som pre-processing I guess.. Thanx, Wouter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
clipping images with non-standard shapes
Hi,
I'm trying to clip an image with a rounded-corner rectangle (or any other
non-standard shape for that matter).
I could not find any way to do this with xsl-fo, so I took the approach of
embedding svg, like this:
fo:block-container top=8mm height=198.5mm width=101mm left=0
position=absolute
fo:block
!-- the background block is 1cm more wide so the round edge fall 1cm
off the paper --
fo:instream-foreign-object content-width=111mm
content-height=198.5mm
svg:svg width=111mm height=198.5mm
svg:g clip-rule=nonzero
svg:clipPath id=MyClip
svg:rect x=-1cm y=0 width=111mm height=56mm rx=5/
/svg:clipPath
!-- image is put 1mm further to the right so it falls over the
rectangle border --
xsl:variable name=imageUrl select=Image/
svg:image clip-path=url(#MyClip) x=4mm y=0 width=111mm
height=50mm xlink:href={$imageUrl}
/svg:image
/svg:g
/svg:svg
/fo:instream-foreign-object
/fo:block
/fo:block-container
This works fine when I view this with AWT, but when I generate a PDF, the
quality of the graphics is bad. I've read that this because the current
SVG- PDF rendering gives a maximum quality of 72dpi, which is way to low
for professional printing (for which I want to use this).
Does anyone know of a way to work around this?
I use fop 0.20.5.

Wouter de Vaal

I've read that this because the current SVG- PDF rendering gives a maximum quality of 72dpi, which is way to low for professional printing (for which I want to use this). There is a configuration parameter strokeSVGText which can be placed in the FOP configuration, e.g. entry keystrokeSVGText/key valuefalse/value /entry This may improve matters, Chris I'm afraid it doesn't.. It's the image that is rendered in very poor quality. I don't use text in my svg part. Any other idea's? Maybe some extension is available somewhere that I missed?
