Barcode fonts have proven to be problematic in the past. Without access to this font there's no way I can reproduce and fix any problems. As I always say, Barcode4J works just fine for me (provided it supports the symbology you need). At any rate, if I look at the PostScript file you attached, the

There's no direct support for tray selection as in PCL as there's no uniform way in PostScript, applicable to all target devices, that will work, so we provide slightly more generic extensions. Unfortunately, the documentation hasn't made it to FOP's website, yet. It's still on the Wiki: http://wik

Hi Guys, Is there any reason that fonts of which are barcodes would behave differently on PostScript than PCL ? I thought they both used the Java AWT or whatever it was to render. I'm finding that the barcode does appear in the postscript output, but does not render. Not knowing much about postscr

There's no property in XSL-FO that allows the specification of an "alternate text" for an image. The "role" property is close, but it's not exactly that. AntennaHouse solves this using a custom extension attribute (axf:alttext). For FOP, something similar would have to be implemented. On 12.08.200

Are you actually giving FOP a little memory to play with? I mean a little more than the 64MB allocated by default? FOP is still a bit memory-intensive, but 100 pages (per page-sequence) should easily be handled with less than 512MB. If you can, post a link to an FO file. That would allow us to do s

The problem here is property inheritance. You're specifying a margin-left="160pt" on a block. That margin is internally mapped to start-indent which is an inherited property. It will be propagated into the fo:table-cell. And because fo:table-cell produces a so-called reference-area, the space avail

After reading this over again I'm not sure you need to do the nested tables after all. It looks like you want to print a new set of column headers at the same point in time as when you want a new group header, and if that's the case you can just create 2 rows inside one table-header. So I inte
