Error in PDF file
I am trying to create a simple PDF document. It consists of three pages or simple 2D graphics. I am using the PDFRenderer to create the pages. I create an SVG document from the SVGGraphics2D object. Then create a SVGArea with the SVGDocument. Thie area is then added to the Page's BodyAreaContainer's mainReferenceArea. Thie creates a PDF file that looks like it is large enough with all the pictures. When I open the file in Acrobat reader, I get an error saying Illegal operation 'q' inside a text object And the pages are blank. Why ?? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Error in PDF file
Ethan, I suspect there's a problem in your XSL-FO file. I had similar things happen to me with fo:list-item, and one of the components turned out to be empty. This caused an error in the renderer. I processed my XML XSL-FO using XALAN.BAT (included with 0.20.5rc), but set my output to -fo. the command line would be (assume c:\java\fop-0.20.5rc is command prompt): c:\java\fop-0.20.5rcxalan.bat -in c:\path\to\your\xmlfile.xml -xsl c:\path\to\your\xslfile.xsl -out c:\path\to\your\outputfofile.fo Hope this helps! Web Maestro Clay (note to FOP-DEV: it'd be nice to add a -fo output option to FOP, for debugging--although xalan.bat does this, it'd be nice not have to learn one more thing ;-p) Leet, Ethan C wrote: I am trying to create a simple PDF document.

The only way you could make this work is to treat -fo differently depending on whether -xml is present. That seems confusing and risky, since a user might accidentally overwrite a valuable fo file this way. I think it is better to keep the two processes separate.

RE: Error in PDF file
//lcBody.getMainReferenceArea().addChildAtStart(lcSvgArea); //
adds invalid q
//lcBody.getMainReferenceArea().addChild(lcSvgArea); // adds
invalid q
//lcBody.addChild(lcSvgArea); // does nothing
lcAreaTree.addPage(lcCurPage);
}
lcStrRenderer.stopRenderer();
lcFileOut.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
lcLog.LogWarning(ERROR: +e);
throw new PrintException(e);
}
}
This will create an invlaid PDF file that will popup an error
saying Illegal 'q' in text object

My problem was in fo:list-block:
fo:list-block space-before=6pt space-after=6pt font-family=Times
fo:list-item
fo:list-item-label end-indent=label-end()
fo:block font-family=ZapfDingbats?/fo:block
/fo:list-item-label
fo:list-item-body start-indent=body-start()
fo:block
This is the first entry
in a plain unordered list.
A check symbol is displayed in the bullet.
/fo:block
/fo:list-item-body
/fo:list-item
fo:list-item
fo:list-item-label end-indent=label-end()
fo:block font-family=ZapfDingbats?/fo:block
/fo:list-item-label
fo:list-item-body start-indent=body-start()
fo:block/fo:block
/fo:list-item-body
/fo:list-item
/fo:list-block
I was missing content in 2nd fo:list-item-bodyfo:block. The PDF file
rendered normally (I think FOP returned a warning), but an error was
given when the file was opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Unbeknownst to
me, my XML file did not include data where it was expected.
What did I do? I wrote this list and they recommended I output the FO
file using XALAN.BAT, and look for the problem. I found the problem by
searching all of the fo:list-block items...

Re: Error in PDF file
Ethan, I snipped a bit, but found this in your code. Notice the three lines of code which adds invalid q. I don't suppose removing these three lines of code will fix your problem? Otherwise, I can't help. I'm a doctor, not a... er... never mind... Good luck!

RE: Error in PDF file
lcCurPage.getBody().getMainReferenceArea().addChild(lcSvgArea); This line is the line that causes the problem. the // adds invalid q is a note to myself for which lines I have tried, and their result. If I remove the line, I can open the document with no errors, but also no data :-( Thank you. I hopefully will crack this soon :-) -Original Message- From: Clay Leeds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 2:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Error in PDF file Ethan, I snipped a bit, but found this in your code.
