Re: Page definitions (thrunk-svn 20060808)

2006-08-09 Thread Luis Ferro

Ok... just found out that this behavior is controled by a attribute in the
before/after regions called "precedence"... ;)

Now my page definition works like a charm... and i manage to build "bleed"
areas on the headers and footers... (that's why the 3mm margins are for) and
paint all the printing area with a color (hmmm... the PDF is exported to
cmyk and that color maps to the cyan channel which will be converted at the
printing process to a pantone color... or something like that... what it
matters is that i can assign it to 10% of that pantone this way)...

Cheers...

P.S.- the other issues still stand thru... (either need more "enligntment"
like this one... or are "features" as some would say hehehe)

If you're sure this is what you're after (and not an erroneous  
conclusion drawn from Chris' mentioning 'force-page-count' --it is  
supposed to be specified as an attribute/property on fo:page- 
sequence, but maybe docbook allows this to be set through an  
xsl:param?), then it depends on which FOP version you're using.

If you're using 0.20.5, you can't IIRC, unless you perform the XSL  
transformation in a separate step. If you're using 0.92, you can go:

fop -xsl c:\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl -param force-page-count no-force ...


HTH!

simple-page-maseter

2006-08-09 Thread Debasish Jana
Hi:

I was trying to design a document having three different
fo:simple-page-master, one for the cover, one for the left side page, and
one for the right side page.

The cover simple-page-master should have a margin as well as border
surrounding the header, footer etc., i.e. I want a section border kind of,
or you can say, a page border of some thickness (uniform on all four sides
or may be non-uniform). Can I have top-border-width, top-border-color etc.
set up within the ?

Please guide.

Regards,

Debasish

Indentation not propagated...

2006-08-09 Thread Luis Ferro

If one uses start-indent="3mm" end-indent="3mm" in the fo:region-body, those
attributes are ignored by all the content placed in the section, when i
presume, they should be propagated as "default" indentation for all child
containers of it...

Ok... to sum up... there is no way of defining a bleed with a "tinted"
page...

1. placing a background color on the page definition is ignored and not
painted (so no "default" tinting of the whole page);
2. is not possible to add padding in the body region (so, one can't define a
body that covers the whole page BUT that its content actually only use part
of it);
3. placing indentation for the content of the body is ignored (equivalent of
point 2);
4. the region-start and region-end overlap the region-before and
region-after (and don't accept either the margin-top attribute - they ignore
it).

So... it is impossible to make a conditional definition of pages that need
to have a background color painted... (unless there is any other way of
doing it that i can't think of at the moment...).

background-color not painted...

2006-08-09 Thread Luis Ferro

If one uses a background-color="#FF" in the fo:simple-page-master i was
expecting it to either giving an error (which it didn't) or that it painted
the whole area inside the page definition with the stated color (which i
think would be the default behavior).

But it just ignored the attribute...

The content keeps aligned (with the top of the content on the top of the

Page definitions (thrunk-svn 20060808)

2006-08-09 Thread Luis Ferro

I've the following page master:









The region start and end are "cutting" over the top and bottom ones...

However, i think that they should be trimmed by the height of both the top
and bottom ones (at least is what i understand from the standard after
reading in Dave's book "XSL-FO" page40)...

In this layout i intend to use a 3mm bleed margin on both sides for elements
on header and footer... and can't use the start/end to limit the body size,
because they overlap the header/footer sections...

LF

PS- I'm not sure if this is a problem or not... (i can use padding also so
not an unsurmounteable problem here)

Re: Memory leak? (was: 'Possible' memory leak on fop-users)

2006-08-09 Thread Karthik
Andreas,

I ran my test cases against fop-trunk as of 08/03 and am seeing a very good
boost in performance. I profiled against the same test case that produced
loitering objects in fop 0.92beta, and did NOT find any loitering objects with
the trunk code. The memory usage also seems to be very stable and I see more
frequent garbage collections than it used to be in 0.92beta. Overall, the 
process seem to use less memory than before.

Below are some comparisons from my test environment :

Total pages processed : 12000 approx (split up as 1500 pages per pdf in a loop)

1. Memory usage  : FOP 0.92beta started of with 500MB  and went all the way 
upto 1.2 GB easily and JVM crashed after processing 5000 pages approx. The
latest version used upto a max of 750 MB (from 500 MB initial) and never went
beyond that.

2. Processing Time : 0.92 beta slowed down gradually from 4 minutes per 1500
page pdf to 15 min, when finally the JVM crashed. But the latest code took
consistently 3-4 min to produce 1500 pages.

I'm not sure if the above comparison makes sense to anyone, 
but I just wanted to report for comparisons sake.

Overall the performance is been good so far and I'll keep profiling the process
to look for any red flags.

Let me know, if you want to track any other details.

Thanks
Karthik

Re: out of memory error

2006-08-09 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Not sure that playing with the page-masters will really help. I don't
think they have an influence here.

I've just committed a helper XSLT [1] which can split Luis' FO file at
page-sequence boundaries. It reveals that one of the page-sequences
alone makes up 18MB out of the 23MB of the full FO file. I guess that is
what FOP chokes on: Just too much data in one page-sequence and FOP
currently cannot free any objects while inside a page-sequence.

[1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=430134&view=rev

I'd try to find way to further split up that large page-sequence. This
should enable FOP to free memory and handle this file with less heap
space.

Re: User Types

2006-08-09 Thread Glen Mazza

We use XSL/XSLT for reports and for Docbook.

Docbook:  Tech Writer creates the XML documents that will be fed through 
the Docbook stylesheets.  Uses Eclipse WTP for this.  The developer 
creates an Ant script that automates all of the tech writer's doc 
generation and publishing-to-web-server tasks so the writer only needs 
to know how to call Ant tasks from the script for these chores.  (Over 
time, our tech writer has also learned to modify and add new tasks in.)


Docbook Maintenance:  Tech Writer enters the documentation changes 
(after getting information from developers) and republishes them via Ant 
scripts.


XSL/XSLT Reports:  Very nice separation of data from presentation 
chores.  Developer first defines the input format of the XML document 
that will have the report's data.  The tech writer creates the 
stylesheet that will layout the report, usually leveraging previously 
created stylesheets, and also creates sample XML documents with dummy 
data for testing the stylesheets.  Tech writer also maintains any header 
stylesheets that will be imported by multiple document stylesheets.  
Developer creates the SQL, SAX Event generation, etc. that generate the 
XML document.


For a non-programming tech writer, XSLT coding presents a pleasantly 
not-very-steep but continuous learning curve--simple stuff can be done 
without any training at all (i.e., change the title in an already 
existing document from FOO to BAR -- anyone with a text editor can S & R 
on FOO to do this without needing to know a thing about XSLT) with more 
complex tasks (XSLT templates and functions and the like) gradually 
added in over time.


XSL/XSLT Reports Maintenance:  Tech Writer is responsible for making 
stylesheet/reports look "nice" and presentation/layout change requests, 
developer is responsible for bringing in new/different data elements 
from the SQL, as well as overall maintenance of the web application.


The main thing when doing Docbook and XSL/XSLT in production, especially 
with non-programming employees is:  Ant, Ant, Ant!  Keep everything 
automated and defined (classpaths, working directories, web servers to 
FTP to, etc.) within Ant and outside local IDEs/computer environment 
variables.  (Among other benefits, if some developers prefer this IDE 
and others another IDE, it won't matter, because everything is 
configured within the Ant build file.)  The second most important thing 
is CVS/SVN, CVS/SVN, CVS/SVN!  Eclipse makes it easy to immediately

Re: out of memory error

2006-08-09 Thread Luis Ferro

A report as such shouldn't pose a problem... 

Edit the "fop.bat" and add the "-Xmx1024m" argument before the "-cp" as i
did... it worked like a charm with 0.92b/thrunk...

To build the report try using the fop.bat at a command prompt... (it worked
for me will thru tomcat it was giving problems, but that is another issue)

Cheers...

If you're sure this is what you're after (and not an erroneous  
conclusion drawn from Chris' mentioning 'force-page-count' --it is  
supposed to be specified as an attribute/property on fo:page- 
sequence, but maybe docbook allows this to be set through an  
xsl:param?), then it depends on which FOP version you're using.


If you're using 0.20.5, you can't IIRC, unless you perform the XSL  
transformation in a separate step. If you're using 0.92, you can go:


fop -xsl c:\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl -param force-page-count no-force ...


HTH!

Re: User Types

2006-08-09 Thread Jay Bryant
When I first started using FOP, I was a technical writer (often called
technical author in places where they speak the Queen's rather than the
President's English). I was fed up with both Word and FrameMaker, so I
implemented an XML-based documentation system, which included FOP. I no
longer write. Instead, I spend all of my time setting up similar systems for
various clients.

So, I guess I have been two kinds of users: a technical writer (or technical
author, if you prefer) and a consulting developer. I am also aware of
companies (Intel, for one) that have developers dedicated to document
production (though they also work on authoring tools and content
management).

Re: PDF generation

2006-08-09 Thread Vincent Hennebert

Hi Remo,

you should really try to ask your questions on the docbook-apps [1]
mailing list. Those are questions related to XSLT customization rather
than transforming the resulting FO into PDF, and that list will be
much more suited.

You may also want to have a look at the documentation possibly shipped
with your DocBook stylesheets: there are lots of parameters to
customize the output. If, however, no parameter suits your needs then
you will have to write a customization layer above the stylesheets and
this requires some XSLT skills. But again, if you ask your questions
on the docbook-apps mailing-list you will get useful hints within the
hour.

HTH,
Vincent

I'd be interested to know what types of people are using the FOP engine to

Could you indicate whether your setup has a dedicated programmer, or team of 
programmers, individual author, technical author etc.

Does the same person who writes the content setup your FOP transformations.

PDF generation

2006-08-09 Thread Remo Liechti
Hi all
I'm new to XSL and FOP and all that stuff. I need to create a PDF out of
a docbook. My docbook looks like:



myTitle




chapter one
text text text



I run FOP like this:
Fop -xsl C:\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl -xml "myDocBook.xml" -pdf "myPdf.pdf"

It creates a PDF like this(I attached it to this mail):

- First page with the title -> This is ok
- Page 2: title again, but small. Nothing more on the page. -> not ok!
- page 3: Just empty. Why's that? -> NOT OK
- page 4: The index of the book -> NICE!
- page 5: My Text -> ok


My questions are:

1. How do tell the XSL to not create the page 2 with the small title and
not to create an empty page?

2. How do I tell the XSL to create Bookmarks in the PDF?

3. How Do I create header and footer for this document? (I think this is
a docbook issue). But the header and footer should not appear on the
first page as well as not on the index page.


Thanks a lot guys!

Regards,
Remo

Try setting line-height="0". This removes the half-leading added to each 
line. This works in 0.92beta. Not sure about the ancient 0.20.5. Please 
consider upgrading.

Can I assume then that you're still using FOP 0.20.5? As this workaround

isnt necessary in 0.92beta, keep-* properties work on regular fo:blocks 
now :)

Not sure what you mean by margins here? Are you trying to achieve an 
indent on the second line only or do you mean the space between the
lines?

Crop Marks and Bleeds

2006-08-09 Thread andyrob_24_7
I posted this on the back of another thread, then realised it could probably do 
with its own.

Would you be able to outline how you achieve crops and bleeds.  
 
This is something I thought was not possible in FOP, any help with this would 
be greatly appreciated. Sample xml-fo would be ideal.  
 
thanks in advance

Hi All,

 

Can someone please help me, I have a table with one column that
stretches the width of the page, and inside the table I have paragraphs of
text, the reason why I do this is to keep the paragraph together. When the end
of the line is reached, the overflows onto the next line, is there a way that I
can set the margin between the two lines of text in the cell of the table?

 

Thanks in advance.

Also, do you need to pay for a licence to use the FOP engine. Or is that just 
if you want to embed the code?

strange behaviour: Fop 0.92b, Websphere 6.0.2.0, PARENT_LAST deployment

2006-08-09 Thread Fabien K
Hello,
we use Fop 0.92b in order to build documents on the fly under a Websphere
Application Server 6.0.2.0

We I deploy my application in PARENT_FIRST classpath mode, everything's ok.
But if I only change deployement rules of the app to PARENT_LAST classpath
mode,
I catch exceptions ( you can see them at the end of the mail ).


here are the only jar used in the application  ( it's a demo Webapp.. )
avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar
batik-all-1.6.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-io-1.1.jar
commons-lang.jar
fop.jar
serializer-2.7.0.jar
xmlgraphics-commons-1.0.jar



Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
