Re: fop-ttfreader - output bounding box information for characters?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Alexey,

I am happy to apply the patch and I have done something equivalent to this
as part of the the project to configure Batik to use custom fonts.

Going forward, we hope to allow Batik to directly use Font provided by FOP
when converting SVG to Java2D drawing commands.  FOP will render text
natively with no need to pre-embed the Font into the SVG.  As mentioned
this is a fairly involved piece of work that may even lead to a new Font
library in XML Graphics, see http://markmail.org/thread/hkclkqaxlfh5wwvu.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Rounded corner

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Franck,

The first thing I plan to do is merge trunk into the rounded corners
branch.  That would be a good time for you to build the branch and
generate some examples. Support for tables, for example, is currently
fairly limited and I have not done a detailed assessment to determine
what is outstanding.  Any examples that illustrate the current level
of support would be a of great help towards documenting this.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: FOP 1.0 - TLE values based on XML values

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Simone,

Have you considered applying an XSLT transform to the fo document, or
during any process you may have that generates the fo?  An explanation
of the steps required to achieve this are outside of the scope of this
mailing list:  If you are new to XSLT, try taking a look at [1] and
browsing [2].

Good luck!

Re: LazyFont and MultiByteFont NullPointerException

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Harshini,

Can you provide a little more context regarding this issue, please.
Are you able to provide us with the steps  and resources to reproduce
the issue?  You may not be able to post the font on the mailing list
(for legal and practical reasons), but if we can begin by taking a
look at the your fo, fop.xconf etc, a solution may not require that.
If we determine that we need to see the font, we can arrange you to
email it privately.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: AFP & FOP Font Problem

Hi Gregoire,

The font element should be a child of the fonts element in your fop.xconf.

Try that and please let me know if you need more help.

Re: AFP & FOP Font Problem

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Gregoire,

Which version of FOP are you using and have you checked the
documentation at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop (e.g.
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/configuration.html for
configuring trunk)?

Without seeing your fop.xconf o in full I would guess that the
font-base is not set correctly, and thus the relative url ./fonts/ibm
does not resolve to what you want (this guess is based on how
frequently this happens).

If you have not already, hve a further read of the docs, tell us the
version of FOP and perhaps attach your fop.xconf.

Peter

Re: Multi Threaded FOP?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Theresa,

I believe there are multi-threading gotchas when embedding FOP and her
dependencies; see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/embedding.html#multithreading,

There are certainly many multi-threaded production systems that have
successfully embed FOP and it would be nice to know some of the issues
that were faced whilst they were being developed.  it would be very
useful to have a page on the website, or perhaps on the wiki dedicated
to this subject, included some war stories and solutions devised.

Re: Arabic Font in FOP

Hi,

You are going to have to checkout the branch

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/branches/Temp_ComplexScripts/
using subversion: info here http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/download.html

Once you have the codebase you have to build it: info here
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/compiling.html

Good luck!

Re: Arabic Font in FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,

Are you using a version of FOP built from the arabic support branch?
Arabic support is not currently available in trunk, or any offical
release.  If you are not sure then reply and I will provide details
for getting this version.  Be warned however, this work is not
complete and may produce undesired results.

How are you transforming your xml data into fo?  Please provide the
transformed fo if you think that you are using the correct version of
FOP and we can investigate further.

Fwd: PDF giving first page as blank

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Vishal,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I have just attempted to render the sample and I got a validation
exception related to .  I ran trunk with relaxed validation; which
version are FOP are you running?

Your question belongs on the fop-users list, hence the destination of
this reply.

Cheers,

Pete

Re: Row span and keep-togehther.within-page problem

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Matthias,

This bug has been captured in bugzilla#45134.  I have had a quick look
at the code-base but I have not yet been able to determine why
 fo:table-cell@number-rows-spanned adversely affects table breaking
across pages or how difficult it would be to rectify.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Apache FOP Newbie needs Help Converting XML to PDF

[Peter Hancock]

It seems that date.format-date.template.xsl is unavailable.

I suggest that you generate the fo first from the relavent xml and xsl
(this is out of scope of this mailing list - help can be found on
other mailing lists like http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/),
and then post the corresponding fo to this list if you are still
having problems processing it with FOP.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Apache FOP Newbie needs Help Converting XML to PDF

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,

Can you tell us exactly which files you are using when you invoke fop, please.
Your command should look something like
fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -pdf foo.pdf
 judging by the files you have attached.
I am guessing you missed out the -xml/-xsl flags, leading FOP to
believe you were supplying an FO file.

When an  XML and XSL files are supplied, FOP will perform an XSLT
transform using the Xalan XSLT Xalan library (I am guessing you will
need to know more about this stage in your project), generating the FO
document stream that is then processed to generate the output in the
desired format:

XML + XSL -> [XSLT transformer] -> FO -> [XSL:FO processor] -> PDF

This initial stage just saves on from having to do the transform first.

I hope this info helps,

Peter

Re: FOP command-line option in ant task

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Walter,

Have you tried running FOP from the command line? This is the
preferred way to run FOP as a stand alone application.  If you can
invest a little time to set this up you will be rewarded with the
ability to fully configure FOP.

If you think you are truly bound to the ant task, then a modest
modification to org.apache.fop.tools.anttasks.Fop to parse the
properties for the encryption parameters, as suggested by Jeremias.
This is handled from the command line arguments by
org.apache.fop.cli.CommandLineOptions, which you may want to use for
inspiration.

Good luck,

Peter

Re: AFP Rendering

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Sandeep,

Sorry for the delayed response.  The code that handles the rendering
of NOPs is within IFRenderer.renderPage() and I can confirm that FOP
will always render a  page header before a NOP.  I am not sure how
popular the use case is for declaring NOPs outside of the  page scope.
 The MO:DCA specification only stipulates that a NOP must be enclosed
within begin-end domain, and so your requirement is certainly valid.

Perhaps a FOP developer with the available time would be willing to
provide a patch that extends the afp:no-operation element with an
attribute to specify the placement of the NOP at document or page
level.  You should raise a feature request in the ASFs bugzilla
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla, stating your requirements.  I
would also recommend that you advertise your request for this
requirement in a new thread on the fop-dev mailing list.

I hope I have been of help,

Pete

Re: circle or mask without svg

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Ingo,

There is no way to do this directly with FOP.  You will have to add
the frames before processing in FOP.  The EPS is a vector format
whilst tiff is a bitmap and so a different approach may be required
for each.  Are you able to transform the images to a format that you
can then use the SVG approach?

Re: AFP Rendering

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Sandeep,


Reading http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#afp-no-operation,
it appears that FOP only allows  NOP declarations in the Simple Page
Master, and so there may not be a way to control the position relative
to where pages begin and end.

Can you please attach the fo file or perhaps a suitably cut down
version if you require further investigation.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Antialising issue with borders in PDF with fop-0.95

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Juergen,

What does a print of the pdf look like?  It may be the viewer (as
mentioned in the post you referenced) that is responsible for
anti-aliasing the pdf for screen display, and may not be a good
representation of the print.

Currently FOP draw each of the 4 border sections of a cell separately,
even when they should combine to form a continuous mark - likewise for
the neighbouring cells of a table.  Borders are represented as vector
drawing commands in a graphical stream within the PDF
 and the resolution of this drawing space is 1 millipoint - 1/1000th
of 1/72th of an inch.  The drawing commands are directly generated by
fop from the representation of the border - no intermediate Java2D ->
rasterisation process occurs, and so antialiasing is not an inherent
problem in the process.

I hope this helps,

Pete

Re: FOP 1.0 line feed not visible

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Philippe,

PDFRender was removed from FOP in rev 989178 of trunk (along with the
other renders
 along with AFPRender, PCLRender and PSRender.)
PDFPainter (and other collaborators) now implements the functionality
previously handled by PDFRender.
Some information about the new architecture is available at
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/intermediate.html

I hope that helps,

Re: FOP 1.0 line feed not visible

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Philippe,

I think perhaps the linefeed-treatment='preserve' property on the
fo:block may be what you require.
See  http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/#linefeed-treatment
for more detail.

I hope that works for you.

Re: Cropping output to content

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Craig,

I think that post processing the area tree will be the only solution -
FOP can only fit content to page view-ports and not the reverse.  To
make life easy you could use id's to demarcate  the section you want
to preview, making the extraction easier.

Ideally you should process a whole page sequence, and not just a
snippet: The problem with processing a section of the whole document
is that the layout of that section is dependent on the whole document
Generating just a small section will potentially yield a  preview that
does not match the final layout.

Re: AW: How to hyphenate nonwords?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Alexander,

Before questioning FOP's implementation you may want to consult the
xsl:fo specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/
first.
If you believe that FOP strays from this, then please raise your
concern on this list.

Often times the solution to a particular problem cannot be elegantly
expressed in xsl:fo, however, xsl:fo is not designed as a human
writable/readable data format and xslt processors should not be phased
by a documents poor aesthetic quality.  Computers are good at doing
boring jobs like adding zero width space to strings so I would
recommend figuring out a way to process the things like serial numbers
when you include them in your fo.

Re: How to tell line# in input file that is generating error

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Steve,

I am not familiar with the DITA Open Toolkit, but to get line numbers you
need to explicitly pass fo to FOP and not the combination of xml and the
xslt that FOP initially transforms to fo.  Maybe DITA provides a way to get

Re: FOP 0.9.5 and Too many Files Open...image Files in my case...

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Durga,

Before trying to resolve this particular issue, are you able to
upgrade to 1.0?  It is possible that your particular issue has been
resolved after 0.95.
There are threads on the mailing list that report similiar problems, e.g.
http://old.nabble.com/Too-many-open-images--td25664263.html#a25664263
http://old.nabble.com/Keeping-memory-usage-low-when-FOP-is-not-running-and-avoid-open-file-handles-after-FOP-is-run-td29202650.html#a29205862

Let me know if you want further help

Re: using an existing pdf as overlay

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Erik,

I am not sure if my solution is the most elegant but for ideas have a
look at the files in the attached zip.
in.fo is  for the final document- you will have to change the path to
the generated overlay.pdf.
overlay.fo was used to create overlay.pdf.
out.pdf is the final result.

For busy readers who do not have time to look at the attacmnet the
relavent fo snippet is



  
  Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by
  XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter.
  It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and rend
  Output formats currently supported include
  PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree representation), Print,
  AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT.
  The primary output target is PDF 









I hope this helps.

Re: JEuclid and FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Srikrishnan,

I have had success creating a pdf from the mathml.fo input found with
the 0.95 source code using FOP 1.0.
All I did to do was place jeuclid-core-3.1.9.jar and
jeuclid-fop-3.1.9.jar in FOP's lib directory as instructed.

I am not a windows user and so there may be an environmental reason
you are not have success but I do not think that is likely.

Maybe you could elaborate further on your setup and environment,
giving myself or perhaps another user more insight into your problem.

Re: JEuclid and FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi SriKrishnan,

Recent versions of jeuclid are not compatible with fop 0.95:
examples/mathml/build.xml of 0.95 refers to a jeuclid class
net.sourceforge.jeuclid.MathBase, however this was removed from
jeuclid in revision 425:c7cae27888cf (in 2007).
The mathml support in FOP is now maintained by the JEuclid project, as
stated in the examples/mathml/README of FOP trunk.

I would recommend ugrading your version of FOP to 1.0 or even trunk
and then follow the jeuclid-fop integration instructions that should
be found  somewhere at either
http://jeuclid.sourceforge.net/
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jeuclid/

If you really need to use 0.95 (although I certainly recommend
upgrading to at 1.0 or above) then you will have to figure out which
version of jeuclid is compatible and then probably  build it from the
source.  Shout out if this is your only practical solution and I can
help you out further.

Pete

Re: Wider TXTRender output

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Intasi,
The TXTRenderer produces ASCII text output which at best will be a
crude match of a PDF document: see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#txt
A page layout has to be mapped to the ASCII text grid, with
predictable issues surrounding text spacing, graphics representation
etc.

The docs suggest that best results come from using monospaced fonts
with suitably calibrated font sizes and line heights.

I hope you project does not depend on eye-pleasing txt docs!

Re: Font mapping for AFP Output

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Peter,

First off, what version of FOP are you using?  This will have some
baring on what support there will be available for you.

Have you taken a look at the FOP docs or the wiki?
 http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#afp-font-config
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/AFPFonts

There are a few problems i can spot with your config.   Most notably,
the afp-raster-f...@characterset should refer to the actual character
data for the custom font you want to embed and that you have made
available to FOP (see base element in
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/configuration.html#general or
afp-f...@base-uri) - you are instead referencing IBM base fonts that
should be available in  any AFP environments (Print servers or
viewers) that you are using.  The font-triplet element configures how
you can reference the font in your .fo document.  I am guessing that
the AFP you generate, whilst referencing ocrb[10], actually results in
the default Times Roman font.

To resolve this you need to first determine what kind of font you have
(outline (.OLN), raster- this usually comes with a collection of files
for different sizes and styles).  This may not be that obvious to you
and I have had trouble myself doing the same thing.  I have resorted
to using and AFP binary reader to determine this - maybe some other
AFP FOP users have some better instructions for you on this subject.

Once you know the font refer to the the FOP docs for the relevant
configuration and reply to this thread if troubles persist.

I hope I have been of some help.

Hi Daniel,

I am not sure if there are any community plans to support later

External AFP formdefs

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,

Does FOP support the declaration of formdefs/medium maps as references
to external resources?  I see from
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/output.html#afp-invoke-medium-map
that FOP can embed formdefs defined in a file, and it is not directly
clear to me if the name attribute of afp:invoke-medium-map can be a
reference to an IMM defined externally.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Peter

Re: FOP 1.0: images fail to render

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Dennis,

If it is any help the fop-1.0's MANIFEST.MF includes

Class-Path: avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar batik-all-1.7.jar commons-io-1.
 3.1.jar commons-logging-1.0.4.jar fop-hyph.jar serializer-2.7.0.jar s
 ervlet-2.2.jar xalan-2.7.0.jar xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar xml-apis-1.3.04.j
 ar xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar

Other than checking those dependencies I can only suggest checking out
the source from subversion
(http://svn.eu.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/tags/fop-1_0) and
building a clean version.
I was able to run your example fine with my build of 1.0.

Hi,

Yep my patch for feature
(https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49379) included a
fix.  It would be great if a commiter could review that patch and

Hi,
There is a bug in src/java/org/apache/fop/afp/AFPStreamer.java around line 160:
  Iterator it = pathResourceGroupMap.entrySet().iterator();
should be
  Iterator it = pathResourceGroupMap.values().iterator();

I think I fixed this is a patch I submitted recently.  Let me check..

Re: fop region-body border and padding issue

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Muralidhar,

Since the region-body statically positioned relative to the page (as
determined by margins of simple-page-master), then perhaps you can achieve
your desired layout by just combining the effective padding into the margins
of region-before?

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

The suggested method fails because all arguments to fop are passed as
arguments to the application, not the JVM.
You could change the fop script and add '-Dlog4j.configuration=...' *
directly* before or after '$HEADLESS'  on the line 'run_java ...'.

Better still you could put something like $MY_JVM_VARS instead and run
* export MY_JVM_VARS='-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///wherever/log4j.xml' fop*

Any other JVM arguments required can be placed in the MY_JVM_VARS variable.

The problem with this would be when an update changes the /usr/bin/fop.  You
might want to copy this script into ~/ somewhere and run that instead,
merging any potential future changes to fop when thy occur.

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

I have just realised that you are using fop via the package manager, and not
from a direct fop download - whoops!
I am sorry, but I am not sure I can help with your configuration.  Perhaps
there is a Debian mailing list that might help?  I wonder if the LOG4J_OPTS
variable is used by java-wrappers.sh script referenced in the fop script?
Maybe you could email the author fourm...@debian.org?

If you have no luck you could alternatively checkout fop with subversion and
run that using the configuration discussed in my last response.  This will
require a bit more work to set things up, but it is well documented at
 http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/quickstartguide.html

I am for the confusion caused by my assumption about your fop setup!

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

I am not sure how the LOG4J_OPTS environmental variable is supposed to be
handled by the log4j library (I would like to know!) so I would recommend
changing the fop script.

First put the log4j jar in fop's lib directory.  You can download it from
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
Put your log4j.xml file in the root of the fop project.
Edit fop:
Uncomment the following line
*
LOGCHOICE=-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
*

edit the fop_exec_command variable (bottom of fop file) to include
 -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.xml

This approach will keep the log4j config local to fop which is preferred.
Other java applications using log4j would want different config.  Also you
should not have to modify /usr/share/java since it is managed by Debian.

I hope this works for you

Pete

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

Did you change the fop script to specify the LOGCHOICE variable?  At the
bottom of the fop script you will find some  commented out examples of
setting this variable.  The convention is to name the log4j file log4j.xml,
but it should not matter as you refer to it explicitly with the LOG4J_OPTS
system variable.  Also, is the log4j.jar on your classpath too?

I hope this helps,

Pete

Re: AcroForm extension

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Alessandro,

First off this is a development discussion and should be moved to fop-dev
mailing list - if you have not subscribed to this yet I suggest you do for
further discussion (see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html).

I have been working on an implementation of AcroForms (Following PDF Ref 1.4
- FOP's PDF library mostly adheres to this spec).

Before you take on this task alone it would be a good idea if you review my
progress:
I am at a fairly early stage although
 * Written draft specification for fox extensions
 * Extended FOP's  PDF library (package org.apache.fop.pdf) to include a
fairly comprehensive set of PDF's acroform elements
 * Implemented a simple text label and pushbutton usecase

I will shortly submit a patch to FOP and put documentation on the FOP wiki.

It would be fantastic to get your thoughts on this and hopefully save you
independently doing the same thing!

Your approach to develop the extension as a pluggable module is
theoretically the correct approach, however you may run into problems-
perhaps insurmountable ones!
 Althougth the FO tree building and the layout/ area tree building stages
both support pluggable extension in principle,  some parts of the system
currently do not: The rendering of fox extension elements, for example, is
handled by the core renderers/painters and it does not seem trivial
(possible?) to delegate at these stages to an external handler.

I see some of the major challenges in developing the right implementation
including:
 * Defining fox elements that exploit the rich appearances that can be
prescribed to pdf fields
 * With regards to layout, defining the right bridge between existing fo
elements and PDF e.g. text labels may behave like fo:inline elements,
multiline text fields may have the layout behaviour of fo:blocks etc)
 * Externalising the rendering/painting code - perhaps not possible

Re: FOP, hypenation. How to compile hyph pattern? my own

[Peter Hancock]

You should have and use the standard build.xml that shipped with fox.  The
target 'compile-hyphenation' is defined in this.  See Simon's post for where
to go from here.

Hi,
Googling lead me to the suggestion that you need JAVA_HOME to point to the

You should run ant from the your fop dir.
If ant is not in your path see http://ant.apache.org/ for details.

Re: Image Rotate

[Peter Hancock]

You can also use the extension attribute 'translate':



You have finer control of the angle, however the absolute-position must be
set to "absolute" or "fixed" ( relative to the block-containers parent).

Re: afp images

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Sekhar,
The xml you have provided is not xsl fo (looks like a style sheet).  Could
you provide the actual fo you have used - you can strip out unrelated stuff
and we can replace the image with something local.

Re: Help embeding fonts

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Bonekrusher,
The  element has to be contained in the  element- see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html for the configuration
documentation.

You may need to include file:///C:/Program Files(x86)/fop-0.95/fonts in the
base-uri attribute, or in the  element of your fop.xconf

Re: Change logging level?

Hi Philip,

Do you have the log4j jar in the FOP/your app classpath?  It does not come
shipped with FOP.

I hope that helps,

Re: FOP 0.95 printing

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Eric,

Trunk is the development branch of the Subversion repository that houses the
FOP codebase. Subversion is a VCS (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control) - a code management tool.
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/dev/tools.html - this link will guide you
through the process of getting up and running with FOP's source code.  It is
worth making the effort to go through these simple steps as many Java
projects live in a Subversion repository and use Ant for build automation.

I hope this helps,

Pete

Re: FOP 0.95 printing

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Eric,

You will have to compile FOP trunk yourself I am afraid.  It is straight
forward but requires you to have ant installed.  From the FOP trunk checkout
dir you can just run 'ant' from the command line and it will build the Fop
jars for you. For more details see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/compiling.html

I am not really sure how FOP auto loads fonts from the font base url, or
which renders support it.

Re: FOP 0.95 printing

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Eric,

Do you run FOP standalone from the command line, or do you embed it in your
own app?  The reason I ask is because the example
embedding.ExampleFO2OldStylePrint.java in examples/embedding/java of the FOP
0.95 source illustrates the minimal utility of  java.awt.print.PrinterJob
for printing, and you may be able to adapt it for your own needs.  I am not
familiar with PrinterJob but I am guessing it can be configured with your
printer destination etc.

The FOP docs are a little minimal see:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/output.html#print
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#awt

They do explain that the available fonts are those configured on your OS,
and that PrintRenderer uses java2D to create the output.

I briefly took a look at the trunk code, and I do notice any functional
improvements made to the PrintRenderer.  However, upgrading your version of
FOP from 0.95 to trunk is recommenced if possible.

I hope some of this helps!

Re: Compiling translets & packaging in project ear by MAVEN build

Hi Tamugrg,

FOP is only a client of JAXP and so I am not so sure that the fop mailing

find answers looking on JAXP related mailing lists.

Re: Using Apache FOP translets in java EE application

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Tamurg,

The quickest way to prove you are using the compiled transformation would be
to remove the stylesheets from the classpath of the application at runtime.
You would get a error if the application is trying to locate the
stylesheets.  Alternatively introduce a measurable difference between the
compiled and raw stylesheet.
How are you embedding fop in your application?  Are you following the
documentation at
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/embedding.html#render-with-xslt ?
This may help too -
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/running.html#check-input

Re: Batik not in class path

[Peter Hancock]

Hi David,

What is the ant target you are calling when you get this error?

Whilst investigating this issue, I was first going to  first try and confirm
that the classpath stated is indeed passed to the JVM running fop.

Does the DITA project have any documentation on fop integration?

Re: Create damaged PDF file

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Zemin,

Are you able to extract a  snippet of the fo that is supposedly missing this
child element?  If you can show that the fo is indeed well formed it would
support the argument that the problem is in FOP.

Thanks,

Pete

Re: Invalid ICC Profile

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Stuart,

It might be that you have an Invalid ICC profile :-) but it would be hard
for us to confirm this without taking a look at the input you supplied to
fop 0.93.
If you do not want to post the input , please provide another example that
also leads to this error.

Is there any reason why you cannot update to a newer version of fop?

Cheers,

Pete

If you change you output to at (render using he fop command and use '-at

e.g

Hi Igor,

It is not clear to me how these  elements are defined - in your xml

corresponding xsl that you wish to be input of fop.

Hi Chris,

This is what PreviewPanel does with help from ImageProxyPanel.   If you want
to resize the embedded PreviewPanel you call setScaleFactor method on it.
You can  listen for resizing events of your parent window, and resize the
Panel accordingly.

I hope this helps,

Re: Use of AWTRenderer/Java2dRenderer

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Chris,

Did you compile fop yourself?  You will need a local checkout of the
code-base to address this issue:
 The AWTViewer instance creates a PreviewDialog instance (by calling the
factory method PreviewDialog.createPreviewDialog)  which is a JFrame
composed of the toolbar and the page preview.  The inclusion of the debug
and info buttons along with the frame size is declared in PreviewDialog's
constructor.
  You may want to create a more configurable PreviewDialog (subclassing
PreviewDialog and perhaps just overriding the constructor?) and then change
AWTViewer to use that instead.  Recompile and create your new fop.jar by
running ant  from the root of your local fop code-base.

I hope that helps you,

Peter

Re: Reading into xsl:value-of directly from attributes file

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Sangam,

Am I correct in thinking that you are after a way of specifying variables
externally?  Or are you refering to an attribute called 'file'?  Refering to
variables declared in external (from the main xsl) is straight forward as
the following example should show:

.xml


.xsl





props.xsl


Aplying the stylesheet would yield


red

If I am way off track here can you please try re-wording the problem and
perhaps provide a concrete example of what you want.

You may also like to try asking for help in an xslt-centric forum e.g
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html

Re: xml:base

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Jack,

This is really an xslt problem (javax.xml.transform.
TransformerException) and as such you may find a satisfactory solution by
posting to a related mailing list.

A possible solution maybe to download the content locally and  resolve the
relative urls of the imgs manually.

Re: How to install hyphenation patterns in FOP?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,
You should just need  fop-hyph.jar  which you can get from
http://offo.sourceforge.net/hyphenation/fop-stable/installation.html

The installation just involves putting this in the lib directory and the fop
command will place it in the classpath.  Also, make sure that the
build.properties (or build-local.properties) does not declare the
user.hyph.dir property - you may have uncommented this declaration whilst
trying to get things working.

HTH,
Peter
