Re: Hair ripping time
The xslt is used to transform from your source format to the FO format used by FOP. If you already have a formatting object file, you can pass it to fop immediately without transformation. xsl can be a bit tricky to get started on, some like O'reilly's Java and XSLT book is probably a good place to start. FOP itself seems to produce reasonable messages. -- John Burgess Risk Decisions Limited Whichford House Parkway Court Oxford Business Park South OX4 2JY T: 01865 718666 F: 01865 718600 M: 07984 863890 E: john.burg...@riskdecisions.com W: http://www.riskdecisions.com On 03/06/2011 15:30, Theresa Jayne Forster wrote: Ok I cannot see what is wrong here, A test app does this Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,useragent,out); TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Source xslt = new StreamSource(new File(C:/sample.xsl)); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslt); And works fine, The app I am working on does this Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,useragent,out); TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(inputFO)); And it immediately jumps out when it hits the newTransformer() line In the first it's an xslt, in the second it's a FO file, do I have to do something different for that?

Re: PDF Problem
I think this sounds like a problem we encountered here. The solution was to embed the entire font into the pdf document. As I remember it, fop will normally only embed the glyphs that are actually used but a bug in many (all?) versions of pdf reader means that it then messes up copying and searching. Our solution (for fop 0.25 - I don't know about 0.9x ) was: In your userconfig file in the fonts section add an embed-file entry for each font that you use. I attach a small section of our userconfig as example. font metrics-file=fonts/metrics/DxRg.xml kerning=yes embed-file=fonts/daxfontsnew/DxRg.ttf font-triplet name=Dax style=normal weight=normal/ font-triplet name=Dax Regular style=normal weight=normal/ /font Hope this helps. -- Best wishes John Burgess Risk Decisions Limited Buchan House Parkway Court Oxford Business Park South OX4 2JY T: 01865 718666 F: 01865 718600 M: 07984 863890 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.riskdecisions.com - Original Message - *From:* Kai Mütz [EMAIL PROTECTED] *To:* fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org *Sent:* 13/06/2007 10:08:08 AM +0100 *Subject:* PDF Problem If you are using cusom fonts this is a known issue.

Re: [Poll] Expectations regarding side-floats
Vincent We currently produce software documentation with very wide margins and put the section headings in these margins. This currently requires a lot of fairly complicated work with tables.

Particular things of which we don't think in the first place? More specifically, as the XSL-FO recommendation allows some freedom in these areas: - would you expect a side-float being placed on another page than its anchor? Would you prefer the whole chunk of text to be deferred on the following page? - would you expect a side-float being split on several pages? - would you expect different layouts, depending on whether a set of side-floats would be placed on the middle of a page or at the bottom (thus, with some of them on the current page and the others on the following page)?

Re: region-before falls between region-start and region-end
I believe that what you get is the correct default behaviour. precedence = true on region-before and after should give what you want, but I believe false is the default. I append the relevant section of the spec. 7.25.16 precedence XSL Definition: Value: true | false | inherit Initial:false Applies to: fo:region-before, fo:region-after Inherited: no Percentages:N/A Media: visual Values have the following meanings: false A value of false specifies that this region does not extend up to the start-edge and end-edge of the content-rectangle of the page-reference-area, but has its inline-progression-dimension reduced by the incursions of the adjacent regions. true A value of true specifies that the inline-progression-dimension of this region extends up to the start-edge and end-edge of the content-rectangle of the page-reference-area. Specifies which region (i.e., region-before, region-after, region-start, or region-end) takes precedence in terms of which may extend into the corners of the simple-page-master.

Re: problem with size(width height) on using fo:external-graphic
- # I've been successful setting width and/or height on the
external-graphic element.
The snippet below shows the relevant bit of our xslt -- if the source
img tag has a width attribute then use it as is (it's assumed to be in
inches).
Otherwise imgsize references a java class I wrote to extract the size in
pixels of the image.
This is then divided by a global variable giving the desired dots per
inch for the output device
(150 in our case, as a classic 300 dpi setting made the images too
small, and anyway I think our
colour laser actually produces 600 dpi).

Any idea?

Re: Trouble with FOP
You probably need to look at dave pawson's pages (http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/), and maybe read a book on xslt. Variables can be created and set with xsl:varioable but you can't alter the value.
