Re: Full page Backgroundimage plus independent header/footer
Hmmm, I've got no problems to put the header/footer into the right
place, and as you already stated, FOP doesn't support zorder attributes.
If I place the background image in any other region than body, it will
cover the body-regions content.
I think I have to decide, before it's too late, if I should use FOP at
all. I just have to produce some PDF-content from within a
Java-Application. Just some minutes ago, I found the iText -
Java-Library from Bruno Lowagie and co. I think this is the way to go
for me.
Nevertheless: many thanks for the answer!
Best,
Tim

You can position this anywhere on the page.
You could place this in one of the other regions - but you would need to
check the z-order works OK and doesn't overlap your content.
e.g.
fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before
fo:block-container position='absolute' top='1cm'
left='0.0cm' height='19.2cm' width='{$PAGEWID_CM}cm' border='1px solid
silver'
/fo:block-container
fo:block-container position='absolute' top='1.5cm'
left='{$PAGEWID_CM - 1.5}cm' height='2.7cm' width='1.7cm' border='none'
fo:block
fo:external-graphic src='url({$SERVER}/DRE/images/img_2.jpg)'
height='1cm' content-height='1cm'/
/fo:block
/fo:block-container
/fo:static-content
I think - from past experiments with FOP 0.02.5 - you may find that a
background image is the only one that will be behind your content.
FOP 0.20.5 doesn't support the zorder attribute (or whatever it is)
and overlays regions in a different priority thatn XEP (and probably
other FO engines).
Also - the top LH coords for absolute postioning seem to differ for FOP
0.20.5 and XEP.
I can't remember exactly how - but almost like - one uses the page and
one uses the enclosing region
(which can mean that your image doesn't appear unless you add a large
negative X displacement).

Hi all,
since I'm brand new to the List, please be patient if I say somethin
stupid/don't provide necessary Informations/etc. I'll do my very best :).
For this Problem I plundered the Mailing list Archives, but no clue so
far:
I want to put a full-page sized background image on any page of my
pdf-Document. In addition I need to place a header and a footer, also
with graphical content. I do this with the background-image property on
the body-region, and with static content in the -before and the -after
regions. The Problem is, that I have to set a top- and bottom-margin of
the body-region, in order to place the body between header and footer,
without getting in formatting-trouble on automatic page-breaks.
But now, the background image of the body-region, which should cover the
whole page (including the background of header and footer), start at the
margin of the body-region, which is somehow logical, but not wanted in
this case.
How can I adjust the body-regions position/extend without giving up my
full size background image?
Unfortunately I can't split the Image into 3 parts, which I could place
into all three regions, as the graphical content varies.
I tried also to put the bg-image into the header-region and set the
extent of it to page-height. Apparently, the body-region gets painted
first, before header and footer, so both cover the body-content... grrr
Has anybody a hint for a poor student? Except buying the
Antennahouse-FO-Parser... :)
Best,
Tim

Re: Convert HTML to PostScript or PDF
no - you would need to have your HTML in XHTML format so you can convert it to XSL-FO using XSLT, FOP can then be used to convert XSL-FO to PDF or (I think) Postscript.

Has anyone had experience with this problem? It depends on what you mean by the text overflows and on the content. I guess you mean that text overruns the line end because there are no (ASCII) white spaces in the line. FOP 0.20.5 can't generate line breaks for east-asean languages written without spaces delimiting words. In this case the workaround is to insert zero width spaces (U+200B) in appropriate places, preferably while authoring the content.

Typically two different approaches will be used: a) The site is written in XML and two different stylesheets are used. One for conversion to HTML and one for conversion into XSL-FO. The XSL-FO output is then given to an XSL-FO processor (e.g. FOP) for conversion into PDF. Note that most XSL-FO processors can make the two steps XML - XSL-FO and XSL-FO - PDF look like one but internally both conversions are performed. b) The site is written in XHMTL and a stylesheet is used to convert XHMTL into XSL-FO. Again this is followed by the XSL-FO - PDF conversion. A possible third alternative is for a site written in HTML that an HTML to XHTML conversion tool is used (Note this would not be XSL based). So we have HTML - XHTML using a 3rd party tool, XHTML - XSL-FO using an XSL stylesheet and processor (e.g. XALAN), XSL-FO - PDF (e.g. FOP). Thanks for your reply.
