Also, if this *phenomenon* can be banked on, can I try and use the batik-rasterizer utility from within my application? In the end, the rasterizer utility uses the Transcoder API, so I can't see right now where this comes from. I've checked this just now. From the command-line rasterizer I get a relatively big PDF (32KB) with the text painted as shapes based on the embedded SVG font subset. The output looks fine. The same I can get from the Transcoder API. I also checked again with your SVG stripped of the embedded font but instead using an XML font configuration which specifies a font to be embedded (I don't have your font, so I just used a different one). Worked fine, too (11KB with a TrueType font). With the embedded SVG stripped and without font configuration the PDF is 3KB but obviously with the wrong font. I noticed one thing, however. The pdf-transcoder.jar delivered with Batik 1.5.1 is from early 2003 and does not contain the code that allows for a font configuration. It also doesn't result in an Exception because ContainerUtil just skips configuring the Transcoder instance if it doesn't support that operation. So if you want to use the embedded fonts it looks like you will need the code from the snapshot you got earlier. But that may also mean that you have to get the latest Batik from CVS, because there were a number of API changes since then and you have to use the latest Batik sources so the two parts work together properly. Is there any semi-stable release of FOP since 0.20.5 where the xml:space attribute is respected and which is ready for use in applications. It need not have all features that are there in the current version - I just want that attribute to be respected. If such a release does not exist, is there any code snippet that recognizes the xml:space attribute which I can plug into the 0.20.5 code and rebuild the fop.jar file? The maintenance branch (where 0.20.5 came from) doesn't seem to contain a fix for that. I actually tested on that code, not on 0.20.5. So, no, there is currently no easy fix for this problem. I don't even know, off-hand, where to start looking. This would take a nice debugging session which I'm not very keen on because I have other priorities. And IMO, it's not the right approach to use an XSL-FO wrapper for this. Jeremias Maerki - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FW: Handling multiple spaces
Hi, I got the problem regarding the NoClassDefFoundErrors. The new jars weren't mentioned in my Manifest file. I was able to generate PDF's from my application using the PDF transcoder. However, they do not have the fonts embedded and hence are quite large. I had a few questions regarding font embedding. 1. Can I use the same font metrics files(xml) with Batik that I used for FOP? 2. The SVG that I generate (using Corda PopChart) has fonts embedded within it. Say, I was using TradeGothic CondEighteen, it appears in my SVG as: !ENTITY s2 font-family:'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen';font-size:7;fill:#00;pointer-events:none; (Note the 'CF ' prepended to the font name). The font definition is like: defs font horiz-adv-x=1168 font-face font-family=CF TradeGothic CondEighteen units-per-em=1024 panose-1=0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ascent=950 descent=-216/ .. /font /defs (Again, the font is named as 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen'). Am I correct in saying that the 'CF ' part is supposed to be internal to the SVG file and not to be used outside it? The font in the metrics file is called 'TradeGothic CondEighteen' (which is what it should be). Now, if I were to use the PDFTranscoder to convert the SVG to PDF, do I need to replace all the 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen' with 'TradeGothic CondEighteen'? Also, while converting from SVG to PDF, are the font definitions defsfont ./font/defs taken into consideration? I mean, does PDFTranscoder use the font definition? (When I was using FOP to do this conversion, I used to form the FO file from the SVG file. In that, I used to keep only the SVG part and strip the definitions. I also used to replace the 'CF TradeGothic CondEighteen' with 'TradeGothic CondEighteen'. Do I need to the same/similar thing here?) I am attaching a typical SVG file that is generated by PopChart.

FOP is a XSL-FO converter while Batik is an SVG converter. FOP just happens to implement the part that converts SVG to PDF. This aspect is suboptimal and is going to be addressed.

I'd simply make sure that the necessary JARs for SVG processing are all at the same location so they make it into the same ClassLoader. Make sure not to create strange setups with XML Parsers (Xerces et al.) as they are covered by the JDK/JRE assuming you work with =1.4.

Re: Handling multiple spaces
Same here. That's why I said earlier, that you should use the PDF Transcoder (not FOP itself) if you can live without XSL-FO, because if you need XSL-FO (which I don't know) then you've got bad luck because there's currently no work-around. The CVS HEAD code is our code currently being redesigned and it will probably not work for any real-life application at the moment. I've just verified the following with success: - Download Batik 1.5.1 (http://xml.apache.org/batik/) - Extract the SVG from the FO file into a plain SVG file. - On the command-line say: java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar -m application/pdf pieUnicode.svg (This uses FOP's PDF Transcoder to convert SVG to PDF. No XSL-FO involved.) Produces a nice PDF with spaces respected. If you need to integrate that in a Java application, then look at the Transcoder documentation here: http://xml.apache.org/batik/rasterizerTutorial.html http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/examples/embedding/java/embedding/ExampleSVG2PDF.java?rev=HEAD On 23.12.2004 12:07:50 Saptarshi Sen wrote: Hi, I tried to download the latest Code from http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/xml-fop/xml-fop_20041223052817.tar.gz and then did a build on it.

RE: Handling multiple spaces
This is getting increasingly away from FOP and closer to Batik.nevertheless, I am continuing along this thread to get some more inputs. I have added all the jar's under batik's lib folder into my project as well as my Weblogic domain (where other libraries are placed). However, when I try to run the application I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/batik/transcoder/TranscoderException. Is there anything that I am missing. (I found a similar query by another person who was using Tomcat. The reply simply asked him to include the jars under the web container's lib directory).

Handling multiple spaces
Hi, We are using FOP to convert SVG images into PDF. The SVG images are generated using a tool called PopChart. When we view the SVG image, multiple spaces are collapsed into a single space. This can be offset using the xml:space=preserve attribute in the text tags. Is there any other method by which we can preserve multiple spaces. Since I do not have any control over the SVG image produced by PopChart, can I set any parameters during the FOP call? Alternatively, I could include the xml:space=preserve attribute in my text tags, but this would be very messy. Is there an easier approach?

Re: Handling multiple spaces
Seems to be a bug in the SVG part in FOP 0.20.5. The attribute is respected in the new SVG transcoder (in FOP CVS HEAD), however. If you only need to convert the SVG into PDF (without any real need for XSL-FO), you can try the PDF Transcoder for Batik. Try the one shipped with the latest Batik release or if this still doesn't help, download the FOP source code from CVS (or using a CVS snapshot) to build the PDF Transcoder yourself.

Spaces when rendering PCL format
Hi everyone, I'm having a strange problem when rendering PCL with FOP, and I wander if anybody have an idea about this: I have some kind of a table with some texts in it. The texts may contain one ore more spaces inside. My problem is that some of the texts containing spaces are displayed badly. And by badly I mean that the text after the space is displayed over the ending of the text before space. It's a little bit difficult to explain in words. It's like instead of Line no I see Lineno, with no starting at the middle of the e character. I noticed that the problem seems to appear so far only on the first column of my table... The code that displays a cell with problems is trivial : fo:table-cell border-top-style=double border-top-width=1pt border-top-color=black fo:blockLine no/fo:block /fo:table-cell Any ideas ?

losing spaces when using zero width space?
Hello. A while back you good folk taught me to use zero width spaces to allow my text to wrap as I needed it to. Now I have discovered that spaces in my text are not showing up in the output. Example: SzwsAzwsMzwsPzwsLzwsEzws zwsTzwsEzwsXzwsT where zws is #x200b; (I know this is hard to read - sorry) comes out as SAMPLETEXT instead of SAMPLE TEXT. I tried setting white-space-collapse property to false, but that didn't help. Searched the archives to no avail. Thanks for any help.

RE: losing spaces when using zero width space?
Good suggestion - thanks. Looks like the blanks are preserved during the transformation. But then this line from the .fo file: fo:inline(no description)/fo:inline gets rendered into (nodescription) instead of (no description) What does this suggest to you? I think as a workaround for now I will refrain from adding the zero width space on either side of a space character. That should work since the space will allow for any wrapping that might occur at that point in the text. And if this looks like something in FOP that needs to be looked at, I would be happy to try and track it down. Just let me know. Thanks.

Score-spaces and stylesheet generated using Epic's Turbo Styler
Hi, I have a few XML document. I have used EPIC Editor for XML to create a stylesheet for these documents using Epic's Turbo Styler. Now when I try to use this XSL file along with XML document to generate PDF using FOP it gives me an error. It says score-spaces not yet supported I guess that FOP does not support some constructs used by EPIC. Is there anything I can do to configure FOP so that it will recognize this or it will ignore such attribute when it appears in the stylesheet. But score-spaces attribute is a part of XSL recommendation on the W3 site. I am wondering if anyone came across such problem and has solution to fix it. If anyone using EPIC can help me so that the Turbo Styler generates the stylesheet using only basic XSL constructs. Thanks, Abhi __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Repost: Spaces and Precedences
Hi all. Last April there was a discussion in this list (started by Ralf Steppacher) about spaces and precedences. The discussion considered the situation: fo:block space-after=20pt space-after.precedence=1line 1/fo:block fo:block space-before=10pt space-before.precedence=0line 2/fo:block and the question if there should be a space of 20pt or 30pt between the lines. Unfortunately the former discussion fizzled, i.e. yielded no conclusion. Reading the spec and in particular the example 6.5.1.1 I think that the correct answer is 20pt. However, FOP seems to add the spaces, i.e. inserts a 30pt space. Can FOP somehow get convinced to render only 20pt space between the lines? --Stefan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It unconditionally applies all space specifications. You'll have to modify your XSLT to get the spaces you want.

Hi all. Weve got a problem using fop to format a paragraph. The thing is that when we try to put a text inside a paragraph, we get the undesired result as seen in the image attached. What can i do to set the space between lines as best as possible? Heres the code used to show the comment: !-- COMENTARIOS -- xsl:template match=frame/comentari fo:block font-size=12pt text-align=center font-weight=bold padding-bottom=10px font-family=ComicSansMS xsl:value-of select=titulo/ /fo:block fo:block text-align=justify text-indent=15pt space-after=20pt xsl:apply-templates select=texto/ /fo:block /xsl:template It happens that inside the same paragraph there can be different font sizes, so i just dont know what to do to fix it.

Re: Line spaces when different font sizes are used
Can you please attach (!) a complete XSL-FO sample (preferably zipped) so we can reproduce? It's very awesome to scratch together a testfile from inline code snippets. Thanks a lot for making our lifes easier. And please indicate the version of FOP you're running. If you're running 0.20.3 or earlier I strongly suggest you upgrade.

Newbie question - underlining blank spaces.
Hi all. Is there any way to force FOP to underline a string, even if it is composed entirely of blank characters? I'm using fop-0.20.3, if that matters. I have a template which produces an underlined, fixed-length string in my pdf doc. It pads the string with spaces if necessary to make it the desired length. It works great, and a I get a padded string in the pdf document with the required length and everything is underlined. Great :-) The problem is when the string is composed entirely of blank spaces ... The string has the correct number of blank characters (white-space-collapse=false), but the string is not underlined. Is there a way to force FOP to underline a string, even if it is composed entirely of blank characters? Thanks for any help. Here is the template: !-- *** this is the format I want to use to display the string -- xsl:attribute-set name=dataText xsl:attribute name=font-familyCourier/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=font-size9pt/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=font-stylenormal/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=font-weightnormal/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=languageen-US/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=text-decorationunderline/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=white-space-collapsefalse/xsl:attribute /xsl:attribute-set !-- recursive template to pad a string with blanks -- xsl:template name=append-pad !-- the value with whatever padChar is passed in -- xsl:param name=padCharxsl:value-of select=' '//xsl:param xsl:param name=padVar/ xsl:param name=length/ xsl:choose !-- check here to see if the padVar is nil -- xsl:when test=boolean($padVar) xsl:choose xsl:when test=string-length($padVar) lt; $length xsl:call-template name=append-pad xsl:with-param name=padChar select=$padChar/ xsl:with-param name=padVar select=concat($padVar,$padChar)/ xsl:with-param name=length select=$length/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:when xsl:otherwisefo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets=dataTextxsl:value-of select=concat(substring($padVar,1,$length),'#160;')//fo:inline/xsl:ot herwise /xsl:choose /xsl:when !-- *** if the padVar is nil, make a string of entirely blank space *** -- xsl:otherwise xsl:call-template name=append-pad xsl:with-param name=padChar select=$padChar/ xsl:with-param name=padVar select='#160;'/ xsl:with-param name=length select=$length/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:template -- Jack Donohue, Developer Synovation Incorporated.

Try something which results in fo:inline text-decoration=underline#x005F; #160;/fo:inline The first is the underline character, the last a non breaking space. J.Pietschmann
Re: Spaces and precedence
Hi. Here is the (pruned) FO I get as an result of my xsl transformation. What I wanted to do was suppress additional space between two headlines that directly follow each other. fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body !-- preceeding blocks -- !-- block one -- fo:block break-before=page id=h1_6 space-before=50pt space-after=20pt space-after.precedence=1 7.Leistungsspektrum /fo:block !-- block two -- fo:block space-before.minimum=0pt space-before.precedence=2 id=h2_1 space-after=20pt space-before=50pt 7.1 Einzelplatzscanner /fo:block !-- succeeding blocks -- /fo:flow Block one := A Block two := B My understanding of the spec: A and B are stackable areas, have no borders or padding and are not reference-areas (block-progression-direction inherited from parent, no indents specified). A and B have a block stacking constraint S according to rule 3a. in chapter 4.2.5 Space Resolution: S1 := space-after=20pt precedence=1 S2 := space-before=50pt precedence=2 S'' := S1 and S2 In this case: S' == S'' because S'' does not contain line-area traits. The resolved space-specifier S would suppress S1 because it has a lower precedence than S2 (point 3 in 4.3.1). Do I get that right? FOP would not suppress anything and just add all spaces. TIA! Ralf
RE: Spaces and precedence
Joerg, it's the diagrams that accompany Section 4.2.5 that make things halfway understandable. They have an diagrammed example of each clause. There are also some key statements in the first paragraph of 4.2.5 - namely, that the definitions are recursive, and, that the entire point of the definitions is to identify areas that have only spaces between them. So actually I was also half-incorrect, because I spoke too hastily; with respect to the situation with _siblings_ and their space-after/space-before, the borders padding do _not_ have to have zero width. Even where borders and padding have non-zero width they may have a conditionality of discard, in which case under certain conditions they look like they have zero width for space-resolution purposes.

Does pdf ignore leading spaces?
Hi, I got the problem that one of my servlets creates a very big pdf from database, which can take several minutes. To not waist ressources, I want to detect if the user pressed the stop button. The only way to do that, as far as I know, is to stream a space or a bit and check if there is an IOException. So, does a pdf file ignore leading spaces or bits at the beginning or is it impossible to check if the user pressed the stop button?
