This may be one more step in showing myself as a complete newbie (which I am) but I don't see how thiscould help me.

See http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#render-with-xslt for an example of embedding FOP. You can set the paramter by using setParameter on the transformer (details in the JavaDoc). Definitely much easier than implementing a FOP extension. J.Pietschmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I wish I could (and maybe I can, but I'm a XSLT newbie also :-) The problem I have is as follows. The PDF need to include a graphic which is specific for each document. Its a kind of watermark that is generated using data that's found in the XML used to create the document. For example (and it is an example), the graphic could look like a bunny rabbit when your name is Peter Verhoye :-) So, I don't see how to do this using anything else than an extension. The problem is that I've been looking at existing example, but whenever they do graphics, they use SVG and the component that I use generates JPG. This, and the fact that I can even seem to find an example that shows a very basic extension (like print a text) means my work is kinda hard :-D BB Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FOP extension development (newbie)
Hi all, I'm in the process of writing a FOP extension. To be able to start I was planning on creating a FOP extension that does something very silly: to load an jpg file and insert it in a PDF document. I know, this is already possible but the goal is to be able to insert a generated image in a PDF document on the fly. I can't use a servlet so no help there. Does somebody has some good, very good pointers to help me out as, to be honest, it's all over my head a bit right now :-S Thanks in advance Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
