Re: Page Size
I don't think it's a Fop-related problem. First: as Glen asked, do you want ps or pdf output (or both)? If you just want to print your document then ps is fine. Fop can directly generate ps (and I believe it does it as well as pdf): fop file.fo -ps file.ps Then you can use psbook to re-order the pages. I can't reproduce your problem with page sizes. With my files acroread prints a page size of 209.9x297.0 mm, which is quite fine. Are you sure there aren't errors in your fo file? To see page size with acroread: File -> Document Properties -> summary Moreover I don't think pdf2ps is doing a wonderful work here: the generated ps looks rather ugly on the screen (yet it may print correctly), and page size is not respected (use of a bbox instead of a4). I'd advise you to use Acrobat Reader to print in a file: you obtain a far better ps file. But try before using Fop's ps renderer. Hope this helps, Vincent Uwe Kubosch a écrit : Hi!

Re: Page Size
I can't answer your question but to help others who may be able to, could you clarify whether you want PS or PDF output? (Or both?)

Page Size
Hi! We are using FOP to produce a book and most issues have been successfully dealt with. Currently we are struggling with page size. We set page size to be 29.7 by 21 cm in the simple-page-master tag. We need to be able to reorder and resize the pages for folded printing. That means putting pages 4+1 on the first sheet and pages 2+3 on the second sheet for a 4 page document. The only way we have found to do this is by converting the pdf document to postscript and using psbook for the reordering and psnup to put two pages on one sheet. When printing the resulting document, the page size is a bit off and visual inspection using ggv show the page sizes to be too small. The pdf produced by FOP is 27.9 by 20.3 cm.

Setting page size
I am currently setting page-size in the XSL that is used to generate PDF from source XML. This works fine as I am able to vary the page size depending on attribute son my source XML. However, what I am wondering is that is there any way to force that a PDF with letter size PDF can be printed ONLY on a letter size paper and no other size papers when actually printing the PDF? I know this is little off track from FOP but just wondering if anyone has done this before. Thanks for your help Regards, Abhi __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi
Some friendly advice to start:
Would you be so kind the next time, to post in plain-text? Not a problem for
me specifically, but some would find it a reason to ignore your question if
you don't... Just imagine for a moment what all that HTML looks like in
plain text view.
Now as to your question:
> When I encounter the tag I create a new page-sequence but FOP give me an
error
> because the page-sequence must be in the fo:root and not in a fo:block.

I think you're going to need three XSL templates for this:
(more of a Mulberry-question, come to think of it)
- one for the plain elements (sans graphiques ;) )
- one for the elements that are children of the root
- one to handle elements with ancestors
Example stylesheet:
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
Modify this to use real fo's, and use it to transform your example XML. Only
case not handled by the above template is: a that would be following
'graphic 4' in your example, but would still be a child of the 'para 5'
node... Just to give you an idea.
Cheers,
Andreas

You need to look into grouping techniques in order to
sort of "pull the special tag to the top level". It's
somewhat hairrising though.

Create a new page-sequence when you encounter the tag thats orders a
change in page dimensions. Of course, this will cause text after the tag
to be moved to a new page.
When I encounter the tag I create a new page-sequence but FOP give me an error because the page-sequence must be in the fo:root and not in a fo:block. I'am able to change page-sequence, but only if the tag I'm looking for is at the root. If this tag ("graphic" in my example) is a child of another tag I didn't find a way to control it.
Exemple:
para 1
para 1.1
para 2
para 3
graphic 1
para 4
graphic 2
graphic 3
para 5
para 5.1
graphic 4
Can anyone help me?

RE: Change page size
Title: Change page size You can use 2 page sequences to achieve this, talk a look at the examples coming with fop: franklin_2pageseqs.fo. To do this, you have to know how many material you want to dump into each page.
