However, loading remotetly stored images will always be quite a bit slower than locally stored images. Running a kind of local cache is highly recommended.

The very short answer is: TAB expansion, word spacing and, to some extend letter spacing is NOT standardized, and different layout enines (as in: notepad.exe and FOP) may place the words at different positions. Use a table, FO table rendering is standardized and will produce reproducible layouts.

Table cell is small and document looks ugly. Could anyone share hyphenation rules for such case? I am sure that I am not the first person with such problem. First, I think you look for automated line breaking rather than hyphenation. The latter adds an hyphenation sign, and I don't think you want this in your serial number. Second: FOP implements the Unicode line breaking algorithm (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/) which was written with a very common use case in mind: typesetting internationalized text, mostly in a natural language. Unfortunately, this algorithm can't deal easily with random innovations in written text, like URLs or Serial Numbers. OTOH, UAX#14 provides some additional control in form of the already mentioned Zero Width Space character (and others), which allow you to put hints for the line breaking engine into your source character stream. There are various ways you can do this, for solutions at the XSLT level have a look at the XSLT FAQ. Third: If you come up with a more elegant solution, please discuss it on this list and/or on the XSL list (http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/), where the relevant gurus tend to hang out.

If the line height determined by the layout doesn't match exactly the line height defined by the renderers lines-per-inch value, empty lines are likely to appear. The only way to avoid them is to take measures to ensure a constant line height which matches the renderers lines-per-inch value. How the renderer's lines-per-inch value is determined depends on the FOP version. Which release are you using? (Ow, was it lines per inch or lines per page? Anyway, the effect is the same.)

FOP uses the default XSLT processor from your Java installation.
Chances are, it doesn't recognize certain EXSLT constructs.
You can try to use the XSLT function system-property() to check
what kind of processor is used, e.g.
xsl:value-of select=system-property('xsl:vendor')/
should give you a hint, looking up other, vendor specific properties
might get you further.
You can use other Java based XSLT processors with FOP, simply get the
necessary jar files, add them to the CLASSPATH, and set the java system
property javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory to the processor's
transformer factory class.

There is no way the transformation can know which positions are put on a page by the formatting process, and the layout process can't add up numbers. That's the way it is. You can try one of the following approaches: - If the positions all take up the same vertical space, e.g. a single line or two lines, you can paginate them in the transformation (look up grouping by position), and you can calculate the subtotal in the transformation. - You can use a two pass approach: run the whole process using fixed dummy subtotals, extract the positions on the pages from the result, then run the process again with a transformation with explicit pagination. The area tree output or the new intermediate format (trunk only) make it relatively easy to get which positions are on which pages. - Run the transformation using fixed dummy subtotals, then use the intermediate format (trunk only) to hook in some additional code which calculates the real subtotals and replace the dummy values.

You can try the following solutions: - Write or get an EntityResolver which provides an empty DTD, or the SVG DTD from local storage (if you rely on the declaration of the xmlns:svg in the DTD), and set this on the XML parser you use for the SVGs. The details are somewhat gory but you should find them in the mail archives. - Remove the DOCTYPE from your SVGs (don't do this if you rely on the declaration of the xmlns:svg in the DTD) - Ask the network staff to unblock access to www.w3.org (not recommended) J.Pietschmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Include a complete file in FOP
jantje wrote:
So, in PDF I want to show the complete content from file.xml, so also the
elements and attributes.
I suppose you want to have the content of file.xml rendered as
kind of XML source code. Well
But this does not seem to work.
The standard answer to this phrase is: What do you mean by
does not work? Did you get an error message, and if so,
what did it say?
In your specific case, there are multiple probles in your XSLT:
xsl:template match=includeXmlFile
xsl:variable name=source
xsl:value-of select=string('../../../')/
xsl:value-of select=path/
xsl:value-of select=file/
/xsl:variable
It is better to write this as
xsl:variable name=source select=concat('../../../',path,file) /
xsl:for-each select=document($source)
The document() function returns a single node, the root node
of the document, therefore the for-each doesn't do much (except
context switching).
xsl:copy
This copies the document root node, which isn't very useful.
xsl:apply-templates select=node()|@*/
This starts traversal of the XML tree read from file. I guess
you just got the text from the file in the PDF, without the
tags, which is the result of recursively applying the default
template.
If you want to get the file content as XML source, you have to
render it yourself as text. If you use an XSLT 1.0 processor, you
can search the XSLT FAQ or the XSL list archives for code doing
this (there were multiple publications in the past). This wont
give you an exact copy of the sourec XML, because some information
is lost during XML parsing. If you can preprocess the XML file using
another tool, you can enclose the content in a CDATA section. An
XSLT 2.0 processor has the capability to read text files unparsed,
which is another possibility.

Re: output xml structure with xsl?
maxmus wrote: I am looking for a way to translate an xml-file 1:1 to pdf, In general, there is no way to do this with XSLT, because the XSLT processor doesn't get all the lexical structure. For example, the XSLT processor doesn't know about the sequence of XML attributes, or the number of whitespaces between attributes, or whether a particular attribute was delimited by single or double quotes. If you can live with a kind of canonicalized rendering of the XML, you can write yourself a text renderer in XSLT, roughly like xsl:template match=* xsl:textlt;/xsl:text xsl:value-of select=name() xsl:if test=@* xsl:text /xsl:text xsl:apply-templates select=@*/ /xsl:if xsl:textgt;/xsl:text xsl:apply-templates/ xsl:textlt;//xsl:text xsl:value-of select=name() xsl:textgt;/xsl:text /xsl:template (complete it with templates for attributes, text, processing instructions and XML comments) If you can use other tools to manipulate the XML file, use a stream edit to wrap your XML in a CDATA construct (a proper implementation would also escape any ]] string in your XML, but doing this properly becomes somewhat messy).

However, this is based on a woefully broad set of assumptions on what you probably mean. Which is, based on experience with this kind of questions, slightly different from what you actually mean. Ok, the assumptions are: - You develop a web application based on Java servlets - For question a, you want to read an XML document from a servlet input stream, transform it using an XSL style sheet read from a file belonging to the web application, render the result to PDF and store it as a file somewhere else. - For question b, you read a complete XML document from the database, transform/render it and send to the servlet's output stream. Usually, follow-up questions include - How do I get the XSL transformation? Possible answers: Either put in a jar in the lib directory (i.e. on the classpath) and load it as a resource, or put it into the content area and try to use getRealPath to resolve the file system path. Both methods have drawbacks. - How do I get the XML from the database into the transformation? Answer: ask someone how the get it as a string, then use a StringSource. - Why doesn't FOP like the XML read from the database? Answer: It's the XML parser which barfs for a variety of possible reasons: - you didn't store a proper XML document in the database field - the database mangled the character encoding - the XML was double escaped by an automatism which tried to be helpful, but wasn't - your server runs an old Java version and your XML triggered a known bug in the parser included in the JRE. - Why doesn't the browser show the PDF? Actually, the question should be: How do I debug this? Answer: develop and test each step separately. Develop the transformation outside of the web application. Make sure you get the same XML out of the database which you put in. Put only everything together and in the web application once you are sure every step works. Don't do small fixes for the XSL transformation in the web application environment, develop it in the external environment, run the automated regression tests (you write automated regression tests, do you?), then deploy it.

I'm afraid you wont have much luck... ... - fo:table, table-layout=auto is currently not supported by FOP I've tried disabling this one by trying to set the default table width to 100% in my fo.xsl customization layer, but it doesn't help. You can fix this by adding an attribute table-layout=fixed to every table in your customization layer. If there is no such attribute, FOP uses the default table-layout=auto, but automatic table layout isn't supported yet, alas. The error message doesn't have anything to do with the table width. - Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area. (fo:block, location: 2/33495) - The contents of row 1 are taller than they should be I don't think you can easily silence these messages without overriding the FOP logger. Are these problems due to the DocBook stylesheets (using 1.69.1 here) or are they problems in FOP? I don't know. I'd have to take a look at the generated FO files. Can I suppress these without just redirecting stderr to /dev/null? I actually used to do that, but it also suppresses true errors like Java stack traces when I crash FOP. Indeed.

I suggest upgrading to the latest FOP release (0.94), which is a bit further advanced in this area. If the problem persists, we'll need a complete FO file in order to track down the defect.

Re: Long long SVG... what happens?
Giulio Buccini wrote: :working:I have a long SVG document (generated with Batik) containing formatted text yet (paragraphs, titles and so on). Question is: does somebody know how will be the above document rendered when embedded in a FO block? If I will provide only width scaling (to preserve the correct width/height ratio) the document will be correctly distributed across multiple pages? The svg doc will be brutally truncated at the end of any page?%-O Whether you refer to the SVG as image or as foreign element, it is always rendered as graphics, i.e. an unbreakable block. You can't have page breaks in a graphic. If the SVG is larger than the page heigth, FOP will most likely end processing with an error. Otherwise, FOP will search a fitting space, which may cause a page break and rendering the SVG at the beginning of the new page.

Re: Chinese in Bold
arbabu wrote: I am using FOP for PDF generation in multiple languages and using ArialUnicode MS font. I am able to get the bold property for all single byt echaracters but not double byte chars like chines. Could yo u please let me know if I can generate Chinese PDF with bold and Italic property? In order to get bold or italic variants for characters in a user supplied font you have to get hold of a font file containing these variants, and you have to tell FOP in its configuration to use them. FOP can't generate bold or italic characters on itself. Unfortunately, there isn't neither a bold nor an italic variant available for the MS Arial Unicode font. For Chinese characters, you can try to track down a file with MS Mincho bold (I hope I spelled it correctly), however, MS Mincho isn't free and you might have to buy it. I can't remember I've ever seen a font with italic variants for Chinese, and it doesn't make a lot of sense either.

Re: create FONode objects directly and generate PDF file
Daling Xu wrote: But is it possible directly create FONode objects, e.g. Flow, Table in my java code and then call a FOP api (maybe a Renderer or something) to generate a PDF file from the root FONode object? If you really want to create PDF in a more direct way, you should use libraries like iText which are much better suited for this task then FOP.

Re: Links to named destinations of password protected PDFs
caporale wrote: I have working named destinations in my PDF, and I can link to them fine if the PDF isn't password protected. When I password protect the PDF, the PDF opens, asks me to put in the password, but stays on the first page of the document. Is this just how it works, or is there a way to link to named destinations in password protected PDFs? I don't know whether this is the way it works since I don't have access to tools other than FOP which can generate encrypted PDFs with named destinations. I suspect however that the markers for the destinations are not properly processed for encrypted PDFs, FOP had similar problems with embedded fonts and other PDF objects in the past. If you can produce a password protected PDF with a named destination which open as expected, then please open a defect for FOP and append the correct PDF.

Re: external-graphic
macsmaker wrote: javax.servlet.ServletException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog This is not an issue with FOP, the error is produced by the XML parser included in your Java environment. At least one 1.4 JDK release is known to include an XML parser having a bug which may cause the problem above. Upgrading to a more recent JDK release, at least to the latest 1.4 release, should fix the problem. FOP 0.20.5 contained its own, even older XML parser, so you didn't notice the problem there.

Re: Out of Memory Exception while loading Images.
Jay wrote: I am just thinking, is it possible to flush the output out, if FOP byte stream exceeds the limit? This would help us to deal with large objects like images etc. ? Ordinary byte streams are flushable. The problem is more likely caused by using a ByteArrayOutputStream, which is used to get the actual length of the PDF content in order to put it into the appropriate HTTP-header, which in turn is necessary for IEx up to at least release 5.5 to display PDFs at all (many thanks to Redmond for this baggage). It would be interesting to explore whether more recent IEx releases still have this problem, and/or whether it could be mitigated by sending the PDF as file attachment.
