RE: Help required for Japanese FOP
I agree with Rob. As I mentioned in my barcode thread, once you have the metrics file generated, embed the font and then reference it in your stylesheet. For example, I did some work with embedding Chinese characters in a document: Vector allFonts = new Vector(); Vector allTrips = new Vector(); allTrips.add(new FontTriplet(MS Song,normal,normal)); FontInfo fontInfo = new FontInfo(MS SONG,/fonts/mssong.xml,true,allTrips,/fonts/mssong.ttf); allFonts.add(fontInfo); Configuration.put(fonts, allFonts); Referenced in XSL: fo:block font-family=MS Song padding-bottom=1mm #x51fa;#x53e3;#x65e5;#x671f; /fo:block Does this help? -Lou Rob Stote [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ltech.com cc: Subject: RE: Help required for Japanese FOP 10/26/2004 11:33 Please respond to fop-user I'm jumping in here last minute but...

Check: http://xml.apache.org/fop/hyphenation.html#patterns All the relevant data on the creation of FOP hyphenation patterns is explained there. No real profound knowledge on TeX patterns here, but having taken a look at a few TeX-files, it looks like it wouldn't pose too much of a problem to create a FOP hyphenation XML from one of those --maybe one could write a Java class that does exactly that, or maybe a Perl script would be more appropriate. Who knows... also conceivable to write a Xerces XNI TeXParserConfiguration[1] to parse a TeX-file, then use Xerces to send the generated SAX events back to a file. HTH, Andreas [1] see: http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/xni-config.html for an example of a CSVParserConfig; use spaces instead of commas to tokenize the buffered line of TeXt, change or add to the element names, add a few rules... --and don't forget to donate it back to Xerces, as to return the favor ;-) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Help me from Outmemory issue
From my recent investigations I can assure you there there is no FO rendering tool that is less memory intensive, and the current version of FOP is one of the best choices in terms of memory usage. I use FOP for report generation, and I can have source XML documents that can be from 20kb to 1.2GB (yes GB). This is do-able if your willing to accept that performance is not going to be stellar, and you have to accept a lot of restrictions in XSL and XML development. Just to head off the inevitable question. Many of the reports are stored for future audit purpose, and the number of pages isn't an issue since the PDF is searchable. The information needs to be stored in a non-(easily)-editable format as at a point in time. The transforms must go through the XSL:FO transformation because the end user is able to edit the stylesheets and alter visual layout. Here's some of my experience: 1. The first problem your run into is that none of the XML transformers are easily able to handle a 1.2GB XML for transformation. All of them seem to insist on loading the entire XML into memory, even when using a SAX or Stream input source. There are three solutions. a.) Use SAXON in the preview mode which allows you to process the document as you read it, or b.) Write a disk based XML DOM solution and extend out the NodeSource class in SAXON (see the JDOM input source example), or c) create the FO directly instead of creating XML for transformation. I choose option b, and I created a Disk based XML that allows DOM style access to an XML document of unlimited size. The memory footprint is about 12MB regardless of the XML size, but you pay with performance. 2. All of the current FOP tools I looked at usememory to store the the pre-rendered FO information. The onlyproduct that I could overcome this with was FOP, where after an end of page-sequence it renders to disk and free's the memory. In order to use this I determine a logic group-by that is frequent enough to reduce memory usage and break on that. It results in a new page at the end of every group-by selection, but it works. There are a lot of choices for this, you could use something like a break on change in first letter in an alpha-name sort (ie moving from A-B creates a new page). By page sequence the fo:tag that is refered to is 'fo:page-sequence'. Each time a '/fo:page-sequence' is encountered the in memory info is rendered. !!!This means that you can no longer use page numbering, so I use iText to post-process the report and add the 'Page x of y' to the bottom of every page. To date, my largest transformation was a 1.1GB FO document, resulting in a 378,000 page report. Total transform time, including XML - FO, then FO- PDF was about 45 minutes on a P4 2.8 with 512MB RAM. The upper JVM memory size was set at -Xmx128m, and during the transform the peak memory usage was about 110MB. (so under the maximum) As a finally note, there is a FOP alternate design project that is underway that is addressing the memory usage, but it's not yet available Hope these suggestions help. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 2:45 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Help me from Outmemory issue Hi all, I am having out of memory issues when transforming my FO - PDF using fop-0.20.5rc2.

Re: help needed with line-height
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Using fop 0.20.4 ( tried 0.20.5, same behavior ) I'm struggling trying to understand the usage of line-height. I have a word doc that I am trying to clone via XSL FO/FOP and cannot get the line spacing to match. I am using Times New Roman 12pt with font embedding. The font metrics files were generated using the times.ttf file located in c:\winnt\fonts ( on a win= 2k machine). Without specifying any line-height the lines are spaced much further apart that the MS word file ( I don't seem word doing anything special with the spacing BTW, just single space). I've experimented with line-heght =3D 12pt and that actually makes the spacing too small. Shifting to % values and a lot of trial and error I ended up using line-height=107% and it seems to match pretty well. This is pure dumb luck though, can anyone please explain or point me in the right direction to understand how line-height is being calculated if I don't specify it, and why 107% of 12pt font seems like the magic number to match word single spacing with 12 pt Times new Roman? I'm stuck, any help is much appreciated. thanks, dave I've been struggeling with the line-height myself as well. I came to the conclusion that the ascender and descender in the font metrics file are also a factor that you need to calculate the correct line height. Unfortenately I've not documented properly how I did my calculations :( If I recall correctly it is something like: line-height + line-height * (ascender + (- descender)) where the line-height is specified in the same measurement units as the one being used in the metrics file (was it millipoints?). The descender is negative, that must be inverted. I hope this helps you to find the correct answer.

RE: Help with the sample FopServlet
-Original Message- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] snip / I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't find the answer in the list archives or the FAQ. I downloaded FOP 0.20.5 and ran the build.bat script in C:\apache\fop-0.20.5\examples\servlet. Then I dropped the fop.war file into Tomcat 4.1.29 (on Windows 2000). Hi, Not too sure about the intended location of readme.fo, but I think the readme file is a bit misleading (asking for problems). It's probably better to use full path names: http://localhost:8080/fop/servlet/FopServlet?fo=/somedir/somesubdir/readme.f o Tip: If you have problems using Internet Explorer, try this URL: http://localhost:8080/fop/servlet/FopServlet?fo=/somedir/somesubdir/readme.f oext=.pdf Else it's interpreted to be relative to the current working directory ( explains why placing it in '/path/to/tomcat/bin' works ) That way, at least the question is avoided...

I don't know if it's possible for you to tweak the application in generating the xslt to get this result... Before you go off and try I should add that after running a few tests with your files... it indeed does seem hard to get the results you want ( I saw a few color atts not working there ) Just to add a little notes on the supplied fo: - I'm not sure what to make of the width of the block-container being set to 100% 100% of what? In this case, I think that would be the body-region. You might want to specify this more explicitly ( region-body width minus the offset for the containing block-container ) - I would also try to avoid, as much as possible, mixing different units of measurement... ( might be a matter of taste, though :) ) And to give you a more detailed example of the solution I'm suggesting, see one of my tests in attach.

Inside body, the absoulted positioned block-container is only relative to the beginning of the body. This is totally useless. Hmmm. Seems like you would like the 'position=absolute' to refer to 'absolute, except for the fact that there is already a table placed in the flow...'. I would certainly like to keep the behavior of this attribute the way it works currently, meaning 'absolute, on the current page in the flow...' ( see: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#absolute-position as to why I think the 'absolute' in this case, is behaving just like it should ) So a first possibility I think of is to increase the 'top'-attribute of the block-container with the height of the table above it. However, the spec also indicates that a problem would be the second table, as this would start where the first one ended... unless you were to specify a 'space-before' exactly equal to the height of the block-container. However, the FOP compliance page indicates that 'space-before' is only partially supported, so maybe a dummy, no-bordered, one-row table with a row that high could do the trick. ( Another problem could be tables spanning across pages, which would have you define the 'top'-attribute for the block-container relative to the part of the table on the page where that block-container happens to be placed ... this is making me a bit dizzy :) ) I don't know if it's possible for you to tweak the application in generating the xslt to get this result...

Thus I put all absolute positioned block-containers inside a relative positioned block-container to make the absolute position relative to the outside block-container.

Is there any other aproach to implement the report I listed in previous message? Can't think of any right away. XSL-FO is very (printed-)page-layout-oriented (as is PDF in its roots), so I guess these coördinates need to become fix at some point (at the very least, in theory, it should be possible to derive these from the generated fo - whether intermediate or not...) I'm not sure what to make of the width of the block-container being set to 100% Previous it is inside a table-cell and use 100%. I did not change it. I guess it should work. As you could derive from the regions overlapping the page-margin, it didn't. I think the appropriate interpretation of the '100%' would be 'the width of the containing block-container'... but that inside block-container already has an offset from the containing one. Again, default XSL-FO behaviour, neatly according to spec http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#width In any case - and I think I have mentioned it before somewhere in this list, but in case you missed it - don't rely too much upon the renderer to guess what effect you are trying to achieve.

RE: Re: Help for absolute positioned block-container inside table-cell
From: Jay Chiu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] In your example, you set the outer block-container relative to the beginning of the page. fo:block-container width=4.7in height=2in top=3in left=3.8in But as I mentioned the table height depends on the number of data rows in database, the table may span a few pages, I am unable to set the top attribute on the outer block-container. In you example, if I add one more table-row, it breaks. If I add So what I mean is, you know beforehand ( that is to say: right before the fo is piped through to FOP ) how many rows are in each table *and* you know the row-height, the body-region-height, etc. In short, all the information is available to perform the necessary calculations by hand ( at that particular point in time ), so with a bit of imagination this should actually be possible to implement... ( I'm thinking in the direction of iterating through the fo once, before the actual rendering, and replacing all the 'top'-attributes for the outer block-containers to their exact values WRT the page where they are going to end up... This sort of 'correction' would hardly be worth the effort to add to FOP itself though, IMO - leaves at least some responsibility to the users to supply FOP with state-of-the-art, well-formed XSL-FO :) ) What you also should have done, each time when adding X new rows to the table, was increase the top attribute for the outer block-container by ( X * row-height ), alternately ( (X * row-height) - ((number-rows * row-height) mod region-body-height) ), or sth of the sort... [ For the following tables, you should, each time have to take into account the number of rows of the previous tables as well as the number of block-containers placed in between... ] 5 more table-row's, fop got error: [INFO] [1] [ERROR] null Most probably due to an illegal fo construct, I fear...

Because that 'someone' used spaces in a proportional font (instead of using tabs), or because he used tabs (instead of defining columns)... Catch the drift?

I am using the fop 0.20.4 binary distribution on Windows.
I have a couple of questions I'm hoping that others can help me with.
1) I am unable to get FOP to invoke JAI to handle a TIFF or PNG. I have
copied the jai_core.jar and jai_codec.jar files to
{fop-install-lib}\lib.
Here is my FO:
fo:external-graphic
src=url('file:///C:/image.tiff')/
When I invoke FOP with the JAI libraries in the path I get the following
error:
[ERROR] Error while creating area : Error creating FopImage object
(file:/C:/image.tiff) : Jimi image library not available
Why would I get the Jimi image library not available if I'm trying to
use JAI?
This happens when only JIMI support is compiled in and JIMI is not in
the classpath. See 2) for more.
2) I read through the thread on clarifications about using JAI/JIMI
with FOP and it appears that those who successfully used JAI had to
build FOP themselves. Does the binary distribution really support JAI as
described or do I need to actually built FOP myself to support it? Also,
should I be using a different version of FOP?
0.20.4 binary seems to have been compiled without JAI support. But it
contains JIMI support. You have two choices:
1. Use the 0.20.4 source dist and compile yourself.
2. Use 0.20.5rc or 0.20.5rc2 binary dist.
3) I cannot render a TIFF in a PDF with the JIMI library
If I invoke FOP with the JIMI library in the path I get the following
[ERROR] Error while creating area : Error while loading image
file:/C:/image.tiff : class java.lang.Exception - Image error
0.20.4 still contained support for TIFF though JIMI but JIMI being old
software may not support all subformats. I think you're trying to open a
TIFF image to supported by JIMI.
A comment to those who love details: In 0.20.5xxx TIFF support through
JIMI got indirectly disabled by the addition of the TIFFImage class
which derives from JAIImage. This made direct embedding of JPEG and
CCITT subformats in PDF possible but at the same time disabled TIFF when
JIMI is used.

RE: Help: Output from servlet is garbage
Your output is actually correct and your servlet is doing the right thing. Microsoft IE does not recognize the content as a PDF file and therefore does not invoke Acrobat to display the content, rather it simply dumps your PDF data as text to the browser window. What IE needs is an actual .pdf at the end of the URL used to invoke your servlet. That is how it knows to render the output using Acrobat. The suggestion Adam made was to append dummy.pdf to the end of the URL used to invoke your serlvet (not to append it to your response output stream). This is exactly what I have to do, since I am also generating PDF in memory and returning it to an IE browser. Hope this helps. -Steve -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Help: Output from servlet is garbage Thanks for the super fast reponse.

By the way, see the Note halfway down the page http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.htmlb under Using FOP in a Servlet Some versions of Internet Explorer will not automatically show the PDF. This is well-known to be a limitation of Internet Explorer, and is not a problem with the servlet. However, Internet Explorer can still be used to download the PDF so that it can be viewed later.

Re: HELP HELP HELP PERFORMANCE !!!!
Have you tried to process your XML file with Xalan before , to know which one from Xallan or Fop crashes ?? Your .fo file may be pretty big.with a 2Mo xml file...depending of your xsl document. Xalan loads all document before processing so maybe it's a good idea to increase jvm heap Extract from Xalan website! You can also increase your jvm heap size with the -Xmx or -mx flag, depending on which JVM you are using (you can include both flags, and the JVM will ignore the one it doesn't understand). For example, to give your JVM 64 meg, try java -Xmx64m -mx64m Class Xavier Philippe PITHON a crit: We start to publish large editions with FOP: countable listing, ledger... and render FOP explodes of everywhere!!! version FOP 0.20.5 xml size : approximately 2Mo.

Re: Help! Problem with Fop in Tomcat
Hello Jeremias,
Thanks for your help, but I finally found the problem : you must unjar the
avalon-framework-4.1.2's jar and the
batik-1.1.1's jar. I take a lot of time to find that because there isn't
this information in fop's doc or in mailing list. It's curious, no?
You don't have to unjar the avalon-framework-4.1.1'sjar.

Subject: Re: Help! Problem with Fop in Tomcat
I developped a Fop service via a service web (with Apache SOAP) in
Windows Nt : it works good.
But, now i'm trying to set the Fop Service in Linux machine (RedHat7.2).
I have this error :
Genarated fault :
Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server
Fault String = Exception from service object :
org/apache/avalon/framework/loggable/Loggable
That should be org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/Loggable. Did you
write that by hand or using copy/paste?
Loggable is in avalon-framework(-4.1.2).jar.
A Hello's service works, so my web service is fine and it's a Fop
problem.
My Tomcat's classpath is :
/tools/beluga/SOAP/xerces-1_2_3/xerces.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat
-4.0.3/lib/xalan.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/avalon-fram
ework-4.1.2.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/logkit-1.0.1.jar
:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/batik.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/ja
karta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/fop.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/soap-2_2/lib/soap.jar:/too

:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/lib/tools.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/
bin/bootstrap.jar
(my .jar files are in the Tomcat lib directory)
My code for the logger :
Logger log = null;
if(log == null) {
Hierarchy hierarchy = Hierarchy.getDefaultHierarchy();
log = hierarchy.getLoggerFor(fop);
log.setPriority(Priority.WARN);
}
driver.setLogger(log);
Does anybody know what's wrong? All ideas are welcome!
Avalon Framework and LogKit seem to be present in Tomcat's classpath. So
nothing wrong here. Did you check that the files with the names
specified in the classpath really exist?
Anyway, FOP was recently changed to use
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger (Avalon Logger Interface)
instead of org.apache.log.Logger (LogKit). Loggable is used with LogKit.
It has been deprecated in favor of
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.LogEnabled (which uses the Avalon
Logger Interface). Maybe that helps finding a solution.

Re: Help! Problem with Fop in Tomcat
Hello Marina
That's weird. It should never be necessary to unjar these jar to make
them work. Looking a bit closer at your case I have a few comments:
- You seem to edit Tomcat's classpath to include all jars you need. It's
better if you placed all jars needed by your SOAP service in the
WEB-INF/lib directory. That way they are packed together with your
webapp/soap-service and loaded automatically without adjusting
Tomcat's classpath. The jars I'd put there, are: avalon-framework,
logkit, fop, batik, soap, mail and activation. xerces is needed by
Tomcat and I've had troubles putting xalan.jar in WEB-INF/lib because
of the way JAXP works, so leave them there.
- In you last mail you mentioned a batik-1.1.1.jar. If I'm right FOP
needs a specially built batik.jar (included in the distribution), so
you might run into problems if you use an official release. Keiron,
please correct me if I'm wrong.
- I've done similar stuff to what you're doing, and I could do without
any special work-arounds. On Windows and Linux.
- Think about making a WAR file from your web service. That way, it's
much simpler to deploy. Without manual classpath surgery.
- I propose you install a fresh Tomcat to another location and start
over with the hints I gave you. It may well work what you've done, but
it's a hell to maintain.
- I guess you're using Tomcat 3.x. Try 4.0.x. I like it a lot better.
- Maybe have a look at the current CVS version of FOP. In the contrib
directory, there's the sources of the FopServlet. The build creates a
WAR file. It's quite similar to what you're doing. Apache SOAP is a
servlet, too, right?
Good luck!

Hello Jeremias,
Thanks for your help, but I finally found the problem : you must unjar the
avalon-framework-4.1.2's jar and the
batik-1.1.1's jar. I take a lot of time to find that because there isn't
this information in fop's doc or in mailing list. It's curious, no?
You don't have to unjar the avalon-framework-4.1.1'sjar.
Greetings

Subject: Re: Help! Problem with Fop in Tomcat
I developped a Fop service via a service web (with Apache SOAP) in
Windows Nt : it works good.
But, now i'm trying to set the Fop Service in Linux machine (RedHat7.2).
I have this error :
Genarated fault :
Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server
Fault String = Exception from service object :
org/apache/avalon/framework/loggable/Loggable
That should be org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/Loggable. Did you
write that by hand or using copy/paste?
Loggable is in avalon-framework(-4.1.2).jar.
A Hello's service works, so my web service is fine and it's a Fop
problem.
My Tomcat's classpath is :
/tools/beluga/SOAP/xerces-1_2_3/xerces.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat
-4.0.3/lib/xalan.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/avalon-fram
ework-4.1.2.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/logkit-1.0.1.jar
:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/batik.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/ja
karta-tomcat-4.0.3/lib/fop.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/soap-2_2/lib/soap.jar:/too
ls/beluga/SOAP/javamail-1.2/mail.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jaf-1.0.1/activation
.jar:.:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/classes/
:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/lib/tools.jar:/tools/beluga/SOAP/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3/
bin/bootstrap.jar
(my .jar files are in the Tomcat lib directory)
My code for the logger :
Logger log = null;
if(log == null) {
Hierarchy hierarchy = Hierarchy.getDefaultHierarchy();
log = hierarchy.getLoggerFor(fop);
log.setPriority(Priority.WARN);
}
driver.setLogger(log);
Does anybody know what's wrong? All ideas are welcome!
Avalon Framework and LogKit seem to be present in Tomcat's classpath. So
nothing wrong here. Did you check that the files with the names
specified in the classpath really exist?
Anyway, FOP was recently changed to use
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.Logger (Avalon Logger Interface)
instead of org.apache.log.Logger (LogKit). Loggable is used with LogKit.
It has been deprecated in favor of
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.LogEnabled (which uses the Avalon
Logger Interface). Maybe that helps finding a solution.

That's because the default root path for files in tomcat is /bin so you have to start the relative path from there. Chuck

RE: HELP DRIVER!
From: Bob Leif, It seems that the Java underlying FOP is a source of a significant number of problems. I would suggest that the developers switch to a much more reliable and efficient object oriented technology, Ada. Since Ada is an ISO standard and has an extensive validation suite, it is much more portable than Java. The GNAT (GNU) Ada compiler can produce both J codes and fully compiled executables. -Original Message- From: dav sem [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 6:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: HELP DRIVER!

Robert C. Leif, Ph.D. wrote: From: Bob Leif, To: James Richardson I am dead serious. Evidently, you have had no experience with Ada 95. Ada is much better at modeling XML than Java. I realize that Java is a marketing success. Unfortunately, it is based to a great extent on obsolete technology. For instance, it lacks: generics (templates), enumerated types, and range checking. Ada is also safe enough for the Boeing 777 flight control system and the French railroads. Look, I know your Commodore 64 is much better than my Amstrad, but thats not really the point. Ada may well be great (Or it might not be, that's not the point I'm making), but its use in non educational/military/safety critical systems is limited. Even if somebody were to write a super-dooper FO transformer in ada, working for a large company, I probably couldn't use it, as my applications are all java, and the integration would be difficult. If you want, please write any app you want in ada, but just popping your head round the door, and saying 'drop everything!' this other thing is much better accomplishes little. I don't think a lengthy Java v. Ada conversation going on in this list would do much for the state of FOP as we know it, either Best Regards, James
