RE: Question about PDF API used in FOP v0.95
The original FOP project was for transforming XSLFO into a PDF. Then other features were added, to transform XSLFO into other outputs including PCL, image files, and direct printouts. Now there is a new feature to FOP which is most useful to us, to create a PDF by drawing to a Graphics object as if drawing to a screen. The question of where is the API is a bit confusing. The source is on the site (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/). Old Javadocs are on the web and new ones can be created from the source. AFAIK FOP cannot read in or manipulate existing PDFs. I would suggest trying the pdfbox project for that. -Original Message- From: Chris Bowditch [mailto:bowditch_ch...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 5:02 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Question about PDF API used in FOP v0.95 On 15/11/2011 15:27, 刘寅 wrote: Hi Liu, Hello，now I am doing a research about document format transformation and I have got a lot of help from FOP.

RE: Generating PNG files from FO sources
If you're using embedded code you have a Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop( ... statement which accepts an outputstream.

Can FOP work backwards?
I know the intention of FOP is to create PDF, but since FOP did create the PDF the code should be there to read the PDF. I want to take a PDF (generated by FOP) and read it back in, to be able to print it, or to display it in a Swing component. I already have a Swing component, if FOP can tell me enough information about what it put in the PDF and where.

RE: XSL vs. FOP [was: Re: pagenumbering]
XSLFO is what you get when you combine XSLT with XML. XSLFO is an extension of XSLT and includes XSLT commands. XSLFO is as unrelated to FOP as XSLT when you're talking about it's creation for expected output. If you want only FOP related questions they should be about XSLFO commands and only as far as whether they're supported and whether they're producing the expected output. There is likely a better place for questions about how to generate XSLT or XSLFO which should produce particular output which don't question whether FOP is processing it correctly, and you're welcome to point people to such a place if you don't have an answer or don't feel like answering, though I personally wouldn't mind helping if I do have an answer. I use FOP with XML + XSLT with embedded code. I have had some issues with how FOP works which require looking at the XSLFO, so I actually split the process so I call the Java transform method twice. One passes the XSL on the Transformer create and the XML as input and the output is XSLFO I can write to a file if I need. The second transform uses no XSL and passes the XSLFO as input and the FOP handler on the output. If you don't want to 'misspend' any time answering questions that should include questions about how to write XSLT or XSLFO. Once someone has valid XSLFO and they're not getting the expected output then it's an FOP question.

I label anything having to do with XSL-FO as FO related. I label anything having to do with XSLT as XSL related. For me, FO related != XSL related. In fact, there is no necessary logical connection between the two, except insofar as FO borrows/reuses certain constructs from XSL(T), the only one of which I know of is the number to string conversion properties, which, coincidentally, have to do with the current subject matter: page number generation. In any case, by model, page number properties are FO related, not XSL related. Because FOP supports both XSL(T) [indirectly} and FO, it certainly covers both areas, but as far as I'm concerned the XSL(T) portion of it is a convenience function, unrelated to its core functionality. Given the amount of traffic (mis)spent on issues related to the XSL(T) features of FOP, I often wish it did not support this convenience function. But that's neither here nor there. G.

It is FOP that generates page numbers, but what Theresa needed was the FO instruction, which is agnostic about the software that consumes it (whether FOP, RenderX, Antenna House, or anything else). The XSL List (URL: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/ ) covers all of XSL, including XSL-FO. We've previously had discussions on this list about allowing XML+XSLT as input to FOP, and the potential user confusion that results as to what FOP actually does. For similar reasons, when I reply to questions here, I try to make it clear what parts are specific to FOP, and which questions are about XML, XSLT, or FO, and orthogonal to FOP's operation specifically. the correct answer is that you need to use the initial-page-number property on fo:page-sequence to specify a different starting number than is generated by auto; see http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/#initial-page-number and and http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/#fo_page-sequence for details; Yes, and I apologize for not taking the time to look up the references that Theresa needs. ~Chris [Emotional content notice (since plain text is really bad at communicating this): I want to be very clear that I am not attacking or criticizing Glenn or Theresa.

RE: pagenumbering
I agree that discussion was petty. If someone thought the question was off topic they are welcome to respond with links to point you somewhere you might get better answers or ignore the question. While I haven't checked what other XSLFO processors exist, it seems the XSLT and XSLFO specifications are both generic and unrelated to FOP. If the question is about creating XSL in either form it may be technically off topic, though I for one don't care. If the question is about how FOP specifically interprets your XSLFO, or about whether a feature is supported then it's most relevant. I use FOP in a most unconventional way but I've stuck with it for 2 reasons I can think of. 1) I don't know of any other free project which creates PDFs with all the options FOP has. 2) FOP was initially recommended to us by a consultant and I've gotten it to work so if it isn't broken there's no need to change. If there is another PDF create project with all the features we need that can create more efficiently we'll likely switch eventually. FOP doesn't handle large transforms. I tested creating a 1000 page PDF and it ran out of memory, though the output is small and the input is reasonably small. I got around this bug by creating 1 page PDFs. We generate our input programmatically so we know what goes on each page, so I just broke it up. I increment the page number on each PDF and just pass it in as a tag. fo:page-sequence xsl:attribute name=master-referenceSTANDARD_PAGE/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=initial-page-numberxsl:value-of select=IPN//xsl:attribute Then I use pdfbox to mrge the resulting PDFs.

RE: FOP Extension to handle Wiki Syntax
It could handle any format you want to write your input in as long as it can be translated to FO. If another format is commonly used for generating FOP input someone would just have to write an input translator extension. FOP doesn't even do anything with XML/XSL. It accepts input as XML/XSL as a courtesy extension. I wrote a transform with embedded code starting with data in XML using an XSL to translate it. Then I figured out how to generate FO and split that out as a separate step. That uses the javax transformer. That step doesn't use any FOP objects. If you think about it, output could be considered extensions also. The main task of the FOP is to input FO and generate the IF. Once that's laid out it can take various renderers and generate output so you have a PDF extension, a PNG extension, a TIFF extension, etc. They don't need to be in the FOP package. Someone who only wants to create PDFs doesn't need any classes which create PNGs. If you could break all the extensions out into subprojects it would make it a few extra steps to download but it would be simplified into smaller jars which of course load faster if you don't need them all. -Original Message- From: Christopher R.

RE: FOP Extension to handle Wiki Syntax
I'm not sure where I suggested it's not appropriate to consider an extension. I believe I suggested as you say it might be better to rip out the function of allowing XML and XSL as input, to provide a separate convenience jar and/or the code to embed that process, since creating the FO doesn't involve any fop classes. I already split out that process in my embedded code if you want to see the 2 step. I don't know what the wiki text looks like or how common it might be for users to want to use it as input. If it has a standard format which can be translated to FO tags and someone wants to write the code to translate it, it would be nice if code like that could be included as a separate download on the fop site. I'm not sure what you consider an extension (plugin?) if they're normally compiled into the fop.jar, if they're separate jars to download to call as separate tasks, or if they're separate jars to put on the classpath to accept different types of values from the mainline fop (ie the -xml -xsl tags)? I think anything unique to one type of input or output can be a separate jar with the code kept separately whether you call them extensions, plugins, or subprojects. They can either be documented second step processes (output of this = input of that) or extension options (use -xml and -xsl tags to send input as xml instead of the -fo tag).

RE: FOP with embedded font running in Oracle 10g

started using it and had some issues with the path reference to get FOP
to find the image file. I haven't gotten back to it. That's on my to

is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(loadFontPath + loadFontFileName);
fontFileURI = DataURLUtil.createDataURL(is, null);
myTTFLoader = new TTFFontLoader(fontFileURI, new
DefaultFontResolver(myUserAgent));
myCustomFont = (MultiByteFont)myTTFLoader.getFont();

} else {

myFontTriplets.add(myNormalFont);
}
myEmbedFontInfo = new EmbedFontInfo(null,

If you're using embedded code doing your own transform with all custom
fonts you can use FOP's FontLoader classes to manually load your own
fonts into the renderer. It's a bit more complicated but it should run
faster than trying to find the font on the path.

The former, just useauto-detect/ in the fopconfig. With 1.0 it
searches the classpath (which includes your application Jar) to find
fonts, and you can also have external jar files containing the Fonts
as well.
Auto-Detect and auto-embed feature
When the auto-detect flag is set in the configuration, FOP will
automatically search for fonts in the default paths for your operating
system.
FOP will also auto-detect fonts which are available in the classpath,
if they are described as application/x-font in the MANIFEST.MF file.
For example, if your .jar file contains font/myfont.ttf:

RE: Problems since upgrading,
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here but XSL is not used by FOP. For convenience, FOP can accept FO input or XML and XSL input but it only uses the FO. I'm using embedded code to transform XML with an XSL, and for debugging I wanted to see the FO, so I split out the FOP and call the transform twice. I'm not sure what you mean by calculations on page number. If you're letting FOP overrun blocks to show one thing on multiple pages you can get the page count after the transform, and you can call the transform again if you retain your input. If you can do what I do and just know what fits on a page, you can call the transform once for each page. I started doing that to save memory and I can generate really large reports. I just have to pass a value in with each input to use the xsl:initial-page-number so the first page of the second document can come out identified as page 2. I retain the PDFs in memory, no physical files have to be written, and I create PDF objects with them using the pdfbox project which is able to create a new PDF and copy in the pages. I tested this on a report with over 1800 pages. Trying to get FOP to put that all in one document crashed out of memory long before that.

RE: Hair ripping time
1. You can and should reuse the TransformerFactory. 2. FO is not a stylesheet. The FO is the input to the transform, where you were putting the XML not the XSL. Leave out the XSL part on the FO one.

RE: FOP with embedded font running in Oracle 10g
If you're using embedded code doing your own transform with all custom fonts you can use FOP's FontLoader classes to manually load your own fonts into the renderer. It's a bit more complicated but it should run faster than trying to find the font on the path. -Original Message- From: Michael Rubin [mailto:mru...@thunderhead.com] Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 6:38 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: FOP with embedded font running in Oracle 10g Ooh didn't know about that.

Measuring

RE: Problems since upgrading,
heavy is not a standard keyword. If you select the wrong value for the fonts you have loaded it should log a warning for font replacement. Keywords translate to specific numbers. You would want to use the numbers instead of the words to be sure it's always correct. They might think light is 200 but your light font has a weight of 100, or normal 300 / 400 etc. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/fonts.html#font-boldness Standard keywords are normal (400) and bold (700), and lighter / bolder (relative to parent).

dash

Can you mix page values in the same report?
Am I missing something? Is there a way to pass the page parameters as variables? I have an fo:flow nested inside a fo:page-sequence tag. The fo:page-sequence has a master-reference attribute which points to a master-name attribute of a fo:simple-page-master tag. The fo:simple-page-master has all the page attributes (reference-orientation, margin-right, etc). The fo:flow tag processes pages from the xml with an xsl:for-each tag. Within the for-each loop new pages are generated with fo:block having a break-before=page attribute. Is there any way to pass in variable values, to for instance say a 10 page report should have page 2 rotated 90 degrees? I tried specifying different values within xml tags under the tags being processed by the for-each, but with conditional attributes set up in the simple-page-master to look for these values, all pages come out the same.

RE: PDF size reduction
It should depend on how the image is referenced, if it's embedding the image once in the document, if it's referenced multiple times and embedding it multiple times, or if it's an external link. The obvious answer if you don't care about quality is to reduce the size of the image before you try to embed it. There are many programs which can transform an image to a smaller file, which you could do with either embedded code or a batch script.

Font auto detection seems to be off. In the FOP configuration file no auto-detect flag is present and I also didn't include a manifest file with x-fonts. I will look further into modifying the XSL file in a such way multiple page-sequences are used. I think it's the best solution this far. Am I correct to say multiple page-sequences won't affect the definitive page lay-out of the PDF file? How can I split up the content in multiple page-sequences? I think there's also a modification necessary in the XML input file? Another question: is there a reliable way to 'predict' or calculate the page count the PDF file will have, before any transformation is started? I can check the file size of the XML input file, but that isn't really reliable because the complexity of the XSL stylesheet is also a factor. I'm thinking of aborting the task when the resulting PDF file will have 100+ pages (for instance). Is this possible?

The current architecture of FOP does not allow to render such documents without a sufficiently large heap. That said: I wrote the above while I was running your sample file (with FOP Trunk, using Saxon as XSLT/JAXP implementation), and it just completed on my end, with a heap of 1GB. It did take about 7 minutes, but still... I got a nice output file of 455 pages. I doubt that it is related to images, as there is only one fo:external-graphic. Do you have font auto-detection enabled, by any chance? That might consume an unnecessary amount of heap space, for example, if you only actually use a handful of custom fonts, but have a large number of those installed on your system. Another option is that some fixes for memory-leaks, applied to Trunk after the 1.0 release, are actually helping here. Splitting the XML input file into several chunks is not a preferable option for me, nevertheless it is a valid one. Note: it is, strictly speaking, not necessary to split up the input so that you have several FOs. What would suffice is to modify the stylesheet, so that the content is divided over multiple page-sequences. If you can keep the size of the page-sequences down to, say, 30 to 40 pages, that might already reduce the overall memory usage significantly. There are known cases of people rendering documents of +10.000 pages. No problem, iff not all of those pages are generated by the same

I think this is what they mean by thread safe. I seem to have a concurrency issue. If I call a transform using the Fop handler with a PNGRenderer from 2 JVM sessions at or near the same time one crashes. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem so far with the PDFRenderer so either it doesn't have the issue or my timing is off on attempting to use it in 2 sessions at once.
RE: Thread safe?
Ok I crashed it again and checked the stack. This must be crashing on the PDF rendering too. My test must not have run 2 of those at the same time or close enough together. My PNG tests shouldn't be running at exactly the same time but one must be close enough behind the other. It actually crashes before it gets into the render. I am of course using embedded code. I had it creating a transformer with an xsl file and passing in the xml file as input and the fo handler as output to render it all at once. I split that to pass an empty stream as output so it creates an fo file then created a second transformer without the xsl to pass that in with the fop handler to render the output. It's actually crashing on the first transformer. It only crashes if I run 2 of these at once. Is there something obvious I'm missing in this java code?

RE: Thread safe?
I did include the new statement. The declaration is up at the class level. There should be one factory for the class and one transformer per instance. This only crashes when I have 2 sessions running this same program at the same time. Each should have one instance of this class object. The variable statements look like this. private Transformer myTransformer; public static final TransformerFactory myTransformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); It's reusing that Transformer variable within each method to create a new transformer object as needed. So we have the xsl Transformer in that method where I create the fo file. myTransformer = myTransformerFactory.newTransformer(myXslSS); And a plain transformer in the methods where it pulls in the fo handler with the different renderers to generate the output from the fo. myTransformer = myTransformerFactory.newTransformer(); That part works. It's only when I run 2 at once the first transform crashes. That error message sounds like there was an error reading in the xsl file though the read statements didn't crash. -Original Message- From: Andreas L.

Yeah, that means you should only have one per class which should work for multiple instances. The threading issue is what I'm looking at now, where I have multiple sessions running concurrently. I have yet to see any threading problems with the FOP objects. My error seems to be just on Oracle's Transformer. That page also mentions threading, at your own risk, though it was from 0.95 so I don't know if they've done much additional testing or changes since. Multithreading FOP Apache FOP may currently not be completely thread safe. The code has not been fully tested for multi-threading issues, yet. If you encounter any suspicious behaviour, please notify us. There is also a known issue with fonts being jumbled between threads when using the Java2D/AWT renderer (which is used by the -awt and -print output options). In general, you cannot safely run multiple threads through the AWT renderer. -Original Message- From: Terence M.

FW: How to transform embedded FO?
Nevermind. I realized the answer shortly after I asked the question. A new Transformer must be created. A Transformer must be created with an XSL file to transform an XML file. The Transformer with the XSL can pass XML as input and create a document directly using an output created from the Fop handler. The Transformer with the XSL can pass XML as input and create FO output using an empty SAX stream output object. A Transformer without an XSL can pass FO as input and create a document using an output created from the Fop handler.

Yes you can only have one flow. You don't have to use more than one region. If you want to place data in 2 different areas of the page using the flow you define separate blocks.

RE: Flow data in 2 different regions?
That's basically what I do, all precomputed data.
Most people do one extreme or the other, either calculating what fits on
a page and forcing all text into specific areas, or flowing everything
(book printing).
It is rare you would want to flow everything over like a book on 2
areas.
Of course I have a report which does that, but since I'm calculating
with fixed font size what fits it's a simple compound condition (if
{this area needs a new page} or {this area needs a new page}).

Nope. :-(
If height=auto, and the content grows sufficiently large,
absolute-positioned block-containers will eventually cause overflow at
the relevant edge of the page (or more precisely: whatever area they are
'absolutely' positioned in), but will never trigger a page-break
themselves. I guess you could see it as kind of a static-content, but
then, not repeated.
If not, that could get complicated trying to wrap text to a new page.
Indeed. You would basically have to precompute and force all the breaks
yourself, instead of leaving that up to FOP. :-/

RE: attaching a zip file in PDF
MIME_PDF is not in FOP.
FOP's MimeConstants extends the MimeConstants from xmlgraphics.
Do you have xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar in your classpath?

Hello Matthias,
Many thanks.
I downloaded and tested it. It works.
Now I am integrating it in my project.

Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, out);
MIME_PDF is not found.
Can you please suggest if it has been relocated?

I think the PDF attachment feature was added after the 1.0

Hi,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you're trying to serialize the data that
you configure progammatically. If so, but I don't think that feature currently
exists in FOP (or if it does, I haven't come across it). If you wish to set and
save config settings, you could use the various XML DOM libraries out there to
create a custom fop.xconf. That will allow you to serialize any changes you
make and you can make changes at run-time. There maybe another way of doing
this, but short of creating your own serialization format (which in fairness
wouldn't be very difficult), that's the only way I can think of.
I may however have the wrong end of the stick here, if so, my apologies.

RE: Apache FOP Newbie needs Help Converting XML to PDF
That error means exactly what it says. The file you're passing with the -xsl parameter is incorrect. It's not xslfo. Your xsl file is designed for viewing xml in a browser, not for transforming xml into a document. HTML xsl (http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp) Xslfo (http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/xslfo_documents.asp) That xslfo page shows how to create the fo which would be the xsl combined with xml, as it doesn't have the stylesheet tag. The file FOP is looking for on the -xsl parameter is the combination of those, with the stylesheet tag and the fo:root tag.

RE: Font Weight
Yes. Generally one font file contains one font set with one weight. You would need to supply a custom font set to get a different weight. Any program which allows you to print in a different weight would do the same, to either require you to have a font set in that weight or to guess at it. Guessing can be bad. For instance I create images from FOP with the PNGRenderer. It gets larger images if I increase targetresolution. If I generate a smaller image then try to make it bigger with the Graphics2D transforming method you can see it gets fuzzy. Optional fuzzy logic could be useful, currently not implemented.

RE: Font Weight
I tested all the renderers. The TIFFRenderer created an image file and I didn't like it. The PSRenderer didn't like my TTFs. The PDFRenderer works for generating PDF documents and sending output indirectly to the printer. I actually use embedded code and pass a PDFRenderer to the FOUserAgent then get the output in PDF format from the transform in a stream and pass it into the load of PDDocument in the pdfbox project and use the java print job to print it. That has printed everything I've attempted to every printer we have. I'm also now using the PNGRenderer to get the output as images of pages to load into a custom preview window. This is working great. My preview window allows me to transform the document on the server and stream the output images to the client to display so I don't have to generate a transformer or renderer on the client machine and it's pretty fast (way faster than the FOP PreviewPanel).

RE: PrintPreview
I skipped over your other message. I see now where you tried to reference an AreaTreeHandler, but that's not necessary. You sent 2 incomplete pieces of code. The second one looks closer. Here's a bit of a combination. See if this helps. [code] File fileXsl = new File(c:\\xsl.xml); FileInputStream xslFIS = new FileInputStream(fileXsl); byte[] xslSource = new byte[xslFIS.available()]; xslFIS.read(xslSource); xslFIS.close(); ByteArrayInputStream xslBAIS = new ByteArrayInputStream(xslSource); InputSource xslIS = new InputSource(xslBAIS); xslSS = new SAXSource(xslIS); File xmlFile = new File(c:\\xml.xml); FileInputStream xmlFIS = new FileInputStream(xmlFile); byte[] xmlSource = new byte[xmlFIS.available()]; xmlFIS.read(xmlSource); xmlFIS.close(); ByteArrayInputStream xmlBAIS = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlSource); InputSource xmlIS = new InputSource(xmlBAIS); xmlSS = new SAXSource(xmlIS); FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); AWTRenderer renderer = new AWTRenderer(true); FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(); renderer.setUserAgent(foUserAgent); foUserAgent.setRendererOverride(renderer); PreviewPanel previewPanel = new PreviewPanel(foUserAgent, null, renderer); renderer.setScaleFactor(25.4 * 800 / (Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenResolution() * 210.0)); renderer.setPreviewDialogDisplayed(false); Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_FOP_AWT_PREVIEW, foUserAgent); // Standard fop usage... TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslSS); Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler()); transformer.transform(xmlSS, res); // To handle several pages on the same panel : previewPanel.setDisplayMode(PreviewPanel.CONTINUOUS); previewPanel.showPage(); previewPanel.setPage(0); [/code] That's pretty much how I wrote mine initially, excluding some custom code like font loading. The only problem I found with this built in preview panel is the renderer attached to the PreviewPanel. 1) I'm doing client-server code. Transforms normally run on the server. The PreviewPanel of course has to run on the client. Changing the zoom (ScaleFactor) has to re-render the entire document. 2) This also has to create a transformer and renderer object on the client which is taking a long time. In my new custom preview panel I'm using the PNGRenderer. This holds the transformed output in the renderer. I can use it's getNumberOfPages method to create an array and retrieve the pages with getPageImage. For the zoom I just use drawImage from Graphics2D which makes the pages a little fuzzy at any level other than the initial size but they're readable and it's a lot faster. -Original Message- From: pedro [mailto:pedro.r...@libero.it] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2011 5:55 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: PrintPreview HI all i use the PrintPreviewPanel The problem is that i have to use a AreaTreeHandler but i don't know how to do it.

If you read the documentation I believe it's in there. PNG produces images which are single page so you only get the first page.

RE: Problem regarding font substitution
There are 3 options.
1) You must include font-name for each block with a reference to a font which
contains every character you're trying to print. If you want bold text you
must reference a bold font name on the tag. If you want unicode you must name
a font set which includes the unicode characters. If you want bold unicode you
must have a bold unicode font.
2) You can reference a bold font name to get normal characters to print in bold
and a fallback font name of unicode to get unicode characters to print. You'd
still need a font file containing a unicode bold triplet to get the unicode to
print in bold.
3) The program must be able to use a normal font and generate a bold font from
it. I'm no expert on generating fonts, I don't know how difficult it might be
to identify lines of characters in fonts, but I think there's more to creating
a good bold font than simply making the lines thicker.

Subject: Re: Problem regarding font substitution
There are two fonts: arial*.ttf and arialuni.ttf. The latter has more glyphs
but only comes in one style. Word can display bold and italic for ArialUni
because it tells Windows to synthesize the derived styles. We could
theoretically do this, too, for PDF output, but that is not currently
implemented in Apache FOP. Anyway, I don't think such a derived font can ever
look really nice. And AFAIK, PDF is the only output format (of the ones we
support) that allows this font derivation.
For reference:
- PDF 1.4 Spec, chapter 5.5.2 TrueType Fonts
Using ArialUni,Bold instead of ArialUni in the /BaseFont entry
creates the synthesized font.

Hi Peder,
What OS are you using? I just checked in Windows 7, and it's not
obvious using the file system GUI, but there Arial is split up into
arial.ttf, ariblk.ttf, ariali.ttf, arialbd.ttf and arialbi.ttf.
However, when going into Windows\Fonts, it does appear to be a single
file. In the Ubuntu flavour of linux, it's the same, arial is split up
into it's constituent parts.
So 2 questions really, firstly, what OS are you using? Secondly what
version of FOP are you using?

Hi all,
I ran across a problem regarding font substitution.
I use font 'x' for my main output. Whenever I come across
characters which are not included in my font 'x' I want to use the
ArialUnicodeMS as catch-all.
So on the fo:root element I specified: font-family=ArialUnicodeMS
But now when I come across the following fo:inline fo:inline
font-weight=boldKiºar Vari/fo:inline The text does not appear
bold in the PDF How come?
In my fop configuration I specified the following entry for the
ArialUnicodeMS font:
font metrics-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.xml
kerning=true
embed-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal
weight=normal/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal
weight=bold/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic
weight=normal/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic
weight=bold/
/font
Do I have to change my configuration?
When I run the transformation I receive the following message:
WARN Event
groupId=org.apache.fop.fonts.FontEventProducer,id=org.apache.fop.fo
nts.FontEventProducer.fontSubstituted,key=fontSubstituted,params={r

How can I prevent this from happening and get the bolded name?

RE: font missing warning
Yes. If you're using FOP you're running Java. Somewhere you have a file fop.jar. To compile the fonts into a jar you would need a Java editor (Eclipse, Netbeans). To use them as such you'd have to write your own Java code. That's the path I'm going. Fop doesn't provide an easy way to do that, but embedding them in a jar puts them in with the programs so using embedded code you can reference them directly. The custom jar has to be on the Java classpath so you don't have to worry about hardcoded font paths or auto detection. If you got it to work with the config file telling it where your fonts are I wouldn't worry about it. Other advantages to embedding the specific fonts you need in a jar 1) You can load custom fonts and get them to work on any system. 2) You don't need a config file. 3) The fonts go with the programs so you wouldn't have to worry about different machines having different versions of the same file. We actually had a problem years ago running reports in Courier font on client PCs which were running Windows 98 and for some reasons some PCs had a different version of font so the same report using a font file of the same name produced different output. If I'm testing a program on my PC or a test server I'd rather not rely on the test machine having the same file as the production server or another client machine unless It's a file I specifically put there. -Original Message- From: Roberto Cahanap [mailto:rcaha...@bioreference.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:08 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: font missing warning compile the fonts into a jar...

If you can modify the batch file and you can't modify the line which calls the batch file just put the arguments into the batch file if you want to hardcode them.

Subject: Problem regarding font substitution
Hi all,
I ran across a problem regarding font substitution.
I use font 'x' for my main output. Whenever I come across characters which are
not included in my font 'x' I want to use the ArialUnicodeMS as catch-all.
So on the fo:root element I specified: font-family=ArialUnicodeMS
But now when I come across the following fo:inline
fo:inline font-weight=boldKişar Vari/fo:inline
The text does not appear bold in the PDF
How come?
In my fop configuration I specified the following entry for the ArialUnicodeMS
font:
font metrics-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.xml kerning=true
embed-url=/location to fonts/ARIALUNI.TTF
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal weight=normal/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=normal weight=bold/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic weight=normal/
font-triplet name=ArialUnicodeMS style=italic weight=bold/
/font
Do I have to change my configuration?
When I run the transformation I receive the following message:
WARN Event
groupId=org.apache.fop.fonts.FontEventProducer,id=org.apache.fop.fonts.FontEventProducer.fontSubstituted,key=fontSubstituted,params={requested=ArialUnicodeMS,normal,700,

How can I prevent this from happening and get the bolded name?

RE: align columns last line
Sure there are ways. It doesn't really do anything automatic like fit-text-to-block, but if you're passing your text through a program to generate input like I do you can determine how much space that text is going to need. You can either alter the text itself or the size of the text to fit in any given area. It's relatively simple for a fixed width font. With a variable width font you just have to allow for the largest character or go through the text character by character. If you dig deep enough with embedded code it does tell you the size of each character in a font set. -Original Message- From: Rob Sargent [mailto:robjsarg...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 1:43 PM To: Rob Sargent Cc: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: align columns last line Is there really no fop way to get consistently placed top and bottom lines, such as one expects in a multi-column page of a magazine?

RE: AW: AW: [FOP 1.0] Worse performance than with 0.20.5 !?
If you're just printing a book as a bunch of text which does not already fit to page and throwing it into a document letting line wraps and breaks fall where they may it might look a bit funny. If you're using variable width fonts you can read the font to get character width and calculate the font size and how many rows will fit on a page based on the widest character in the set if you don't mind a bunch of whitespace. Oddly from reading what others have tried to do with FOP it seems no one else has thought to use it like I do though I think my program is the best way to use it. I use it as a report writer. I don't use fo:table. I don't let it calculate where to place anything on the page. I only use one standard fixed width font set. I place all text on the document with absolute positioning. I use embedded code to load the custom font files (one for standard, one for bold, one for unicode) and programmatically generate the xml. If I want a table I can create empty blocks with borders or use svg line drawing to draw my own table lines around the text. Everything fits on a page. If anything wraps to the next page the report generating program creates a new page tag. Since it's all in a program it's optional if it wants to write an xml, fo, or pdf file. They can all be passed through as bytes. The direct print option passes the pdf through to pfdbox which generates a Pageable object for a standard java PrinterJob. It's extremely useful if you can accept that all reports should be printed in Lucida Typewriter. If you want a different fixed width fonts you just have to figure out the different font size calculation. If you want a variable width font, absolute positioning becomes a lot more difficult. I love that it's so dynamic and that it doesn't generate any output until it's done. I wrote a report with a heading block using a font size larger than the details, which adds detail amounts which could take several pages to get total amounts which print in the heading block on the first page. This also allows validation before print. If there's a problem with the report program on printing page 5 it doesn't have to print anything. -Original Message- From: Andreas Delmelle [mailto:andreas.delme...@telenet.be] Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 1:50 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: AW: AW: [FOP 1.0] Worse performance than with 0.20.5 !?

So i assume that i only have a chance to improve the rendering by splitting the document in multiple page-sequences. The thing is now, that the size of the single tables may vary extremely. There's also a case that i produce a table over 400+ pages !!! What about splitting the tables after each, let's say, 20 pages? Where's the best performance, less than 20? That could be a good start, but --it depends. It's really very difficult to say how many pages is ideal. It is possible to let FOP run out of heap space with a document containing only a single fo:block with a dump of a chapter generating about 40 pages (or even only 1 page --at font-size 1pt). That is, purely the layout engine's linebreaking algorithm. No fancy fonts or tons of images. Not even a fo:table. On the one hand, that admittedly points to a lack of scalability. On the other, the fact remains: divide and conquer. Breaking up that same fo:block into multiple blocks can make a world of difference. For the end-result, it is obviously best to break the content at a boundary that makes sense logically. You can try to approximate how many rows you can fit into one page, and try to insert breaks from there, but that will likely lead to results that make little sense to the ultimate consumer/reader of the document... I almost forgot the most important point: If I split the table after the 20th page (or rather: after each 200th table rows (assuming ~10 rows per page)), how do I ensure that the page-sequence ends at the page bottom. The size of the rows also may vary. Short answer: you can't. Splitting into multiple fo:page-sequences is always a trade-off, since it introduces a forced break that is basically arbitrary, unless you can /make/ it so that the break makes sense there. Longer anwser is that one might be able to pull it off, but that would require a two-pass approach. In your case, that seems non-applicable, since the first pass will cause the out-of-memory condition.

RE: SVG in FOP 1.0
I think we'd have to see some sample code to tell if jai is required or if you're missing something else. I know the FOP ant build has some optional tests based on whether jai is available, and I do create SVG graphics in my normal processing where jai is not in the classpath. -Original Message- From: Jayant Ghagre [mailto:jayant.gha...@ambest.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 11:41 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: SVG in FOP 1.0 I am developing two web based prototypes for rendering PDF using XSL-FO. First prototype is a Java Servlet deployed in Tomcat container in windows environment. The servlet renders PDFs to web as well as windows based clients. Everything works well, till I decided to add SVG elements to generate 3D charts. I am using pre-compiled version of FOP 1.0. Looking at the manifest file for FOP.jar, I noticed that jai_*.jar files have not been referenced. If I include following jar files, I am able to generate 3D graphs using SVG. jai_codec.jar jai_core.jar jai_imageio.jar Are these jar files sufficient for FOP to process SVG elements? I thought that batik-all-1.7.jar should be sufficient to process SVG elements. I guess I was wrong. Second prototype is .NET based solution, where I have converted FOP 1.0 to a single .NET DLL using IKVM. Same issue here with SVG elements but even if I include the jai_*.jar files in my .NET dll, still the SVG elements are ignored. There are issues mentioned with class loader functionality in the following article. But this article was published in 2004, I bet there have been considerable improvements in IKVM since then. http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/08/18/ikvm.html == Begin - Excerpt from the article Second is the ikvmc command, which can be used to convert Java bytecodes into .NET IL. Thus, you can convert a set of Java class files into a .NET assembly. Since this manner of use statically compiles the Java bytecodes, it's known as the static mode. Note that while the dynamic mode fully supports the Java classloader semantics, in the static mode, there are necessarily some limitations. Among the issues to watch out for is the fact that all classes are loaded by the bootstrap classloader. See the threads for the gory details. In brief, many Java programs assume this.class.getClassLoader() will return non-null. That, however, is not a valid assumption for classes loaded by the bootstrap loader. Also, while classloader functionality (such as Class.forName(..)) is available to use, and indeed can be used to load either statically compiled classes or Java bytecode, remember that loading classes out of .NET assemblies that are not referenced directly or indirectly from your application may not work without manual intervention. See the documentation for more detail on this and other hairy issues that arise when two different worlds collide! == End - Excerpt from the article I do understand that this is FOP user's email group, so IKVM related issue may not be answered, but if anyone has experience using SVG elements in .XSLT file, can point me to the right jar files (other than mentioned above).

RE: FOP 1.0 line feed not visible
Building is easy lol. I downloaded the FOP 1.0 source. Then I extracted the source to a folder. Then I selected the New Project option in Eclipse from existing Ant build file and named the project fop-1.0 to match the folder. Then I had to run ant on the build.xml to create java files in the gensrc folder. Then I configured the build path to add ant and jai_core. Then it compiled. Then I had to put a copy of the Junit, Jai, and Xmlunit jars in the fop lib folder to run the full ant build. I actually downloaded ant as source to link to the fop build path so that's also full of fun dependancies. To get the ant project to compile I had to link jars for jai_codec, jai_core, mail, and NetRexxC, and I added it's other project dependancies as source also which include log4j, bcel, bsf, commons-logging, commons-net, jakarta-oro, jakarta-regexp, jdepend, jsch, junit, xalan, xml-commons-resolver. Of course importing dependancies as source is the hard way. It may give you the ability to do some more things most people likely don't need to do? You could just copy in the ant.jar to build. -Original Message- From: Andreas Delmelle [mailto:andreas.delme...@telenet.be] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2011 2:04 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: FOP 1.0 line feed not visible On 10 Jan 2011, at 16:22, Philippe Pithon wrote: Hi Philippe Thanks ! good news !

However I'll give some more informations about what I'm trying to achieve. A sketch of the template : ... XSL-FO tags ... fo:instream-foreign-object... chart:chart xmlns:c=www...charts.. c:pie width=.. height=.. c:title value=Hello Piechart/ ... some custom tags to retrieve data ... /c:pie /chart:chart ... XSL-FO tags ... My elementMapping extension handles those tags and creates my objects describing the chart. 1) Actually I'm extending FONode, should I rather extend InstreamForeignObject? At some point (when the pdf is rendered) I'll use my objects to draw the chart to Graphics2D. But I will not create an Image. As you mentioned, it looks a lot like what you are doing here : [3] http://barcode4j.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/barcode4j/barcode4j/src/xm lgraphics-commons/java/org/krysalis/barcode4j/image/loader/ImageConver terBarcode2G2D.java?revision=1.1view=markup So tell me if I'm wrong : I must implement Graphics2DImagePainter and AbstractImageConverter, I'll draw there my chart to the given Graphics2D. XMLGraphics will take care of integrating it into the doc (being created by fop). 2) I must also extend AbstractImage, but for the moment I don't really understand what code to write there. To register the converter programatically : FopFactory factory = FopFactory.newInstance(); factory.getImageManager().getRegistry().registerConverter(myG2DConvert er); That sounds ok. 3) But I don't understand how to make the link between my objects and the registred converter. Thanks again. Eugen Jeremias Maerki-2 wrote: Hi Eugen Assuming you're using Apache FOP 1.0 or later, I would suggest to you to write a set of plug-ins for the Apache XML Graphics Commons image loader framework. The documentation for that is found here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/image-loader.html That's our new infrastructure for handling images. And your charting XML is nothing other than an image in XML. A good example of such a set of plug-ins can be found in Barcode4J: http://barcode4j.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/barcode4j/barcode4j/src/xm lgraphics-commons/ You can see multiple ImageConverter implementations there. One converts [1] a generic XML document into an ImageBarcode [2]. And you would create something like an ImageChart. Furthermore, I'd go the Java2D route (Graphics2D), so you'd add an ImageConverter which takes an ImageChart and produces an ImageGraphics2D [3] (The code in there basically paints your chart against a Graphics2D object). The latter can be processed by FOP's PDF support to create high-quality vector graphics without you having to learn about PDF specifics. The nice side-effect is that it won't only work for PDF, but also for all other output formats supported by FOP.

RE: ValidationException: Document is empty
I think you're a bit confused. 1) FOP doesn't complain about anything. My response included the corrected xslt along with a PDF I got from FOP with it. 2) I'm not sure what you mean by valid xml. Your xml file is a valid xml. Your xslt file is not xslt if it contains any fo. If you fix the tags it's valid xslfo. 3) Converting to lt; wouldn't make it work any better as anything else since you didn't convert to gt; Xslt: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/default.asp Xslfo: http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/default.asp Xslt was designed to format xml data for a web page.

This is why use of disable-output-escaping is so strongly discouraged... When you use XSLT to transform your XML and serialize it to disk, the d-o-e is applied and you get a valid FO. However, when you feed XML and XSLT to FOP, your transformation result is never serialized. The d-o-e directive is never applied, and a poorly-formed XML data structure is passed to FOP, resulting in your error. You will need to rewrite your transformation to avoid use of d-o-e. It is an unfortunate hack that really shouldn't have been included in XSLT; it is never necessary, and while it enables some quick hacks that would be more complicated otherwise, it also is prone to mysterious breakage like your case. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd URL: http://crism.maden.org/ MISSING: land of free, home of brave.

RE: ValidationException: Document is empty
Did you read the links I included? Xslt does not contain fo. Xslt can include fo tags which would make it xslfo which can be transformed with an xml to generate fo. Xslt can be used without any fo tags to generate web content. FOP requires either xslfo + xml or fo which is that intermediate result of xslfo + xml you're seeing in the 2 step transformation. The difference between the xslt and xslfo is the fo tags which tell it how to generate a document, which provides information such as page breaks which you wouldn't have on the web. While your xslt file with the lt; tags in it did pass an xsl validation with one free program I found to verify syntax, it's not standard code to start a tag with lt; and end with . If you can break the code with variables I'd like to see a sample. I use plenty of variables in my xsl. If you cannot transform your xml+xslt-pdf with fop 1.0 with the lt; references converted to please send what error message you're seeing. That works fine here. -Original Message- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:georg.datt...@geneon.de] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 11:44 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: AW: ValidationException: Document is empty Hi Eric, I think you're a bit confused. Oh yes. 1) FOP doesn't complain about anything. My response included the corrected xslt along with a PDF I got from FOP with it. I'm not quite sure WHO exactly complains. The original xslt (with lt;) works fine if I use it to transform the xml file. It generates a fo-file which I can then transform into a pdf. The corrected xslt works fine, if I don't use more complex transformations. It stops working when I use variables. 2) I'm not sure what you mean by valid xml. Your xml file is a valid xml. Your xslt file is not xslt if it contains any fo. If you fix the tags it's valid xslfo. My xslt should not contain valid fo, it should create valid fo. If I fix the tags, it's (IMHO) no longer a valid xslt-file. 3) Converting to lt; wouldn't make it work any better as anything else since you didn't convert to gt; Converting to lt; would make it a valid xslt-file, IMHO, since the fo-tags are no longer found. The transformation originally worked fine with fop 0.20, so it is possible that something changed, but that would still not explain why I can transform xml+xslt-fo and fo-pdf, but not xml+xslt-pdf directly.

I am using embedded code and I am using SVG and I am printing to a dot matrix printer and I am using TrueType fonts and I am not using PostScript.

If you could provide any details on what you're trying to do perhaps we could help you find a workaround. What is this tool? # should indicate that your data contains references to glyphs which are not in the font. If you need to use TrueType fonts and PS doesn't support it, the obvious answer is don't use PS, but no one can tell you how to do that if we don't know why you're using PS in the first place.
