RE: png vs. jpg
Ah, that makes sense then. I'm going to read the link that you referenced. Thank you Luis. -Roberto From: Luis Bernardo [mailto:lmpmberna...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 6:45 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: png vs. jpg Yes, there is a difference. By default FOP uses a native image loader for JPG but not for PNG. There is however a native image loader for PNG too, which you can enable in the configuration file. See http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/HowTo/ImageLoaderRawPNG for more info. Try it and I expect that you will see a performance improvement. Native image loaders process the image differently and usually do it faster. The reason the native image loader for PNG is not enabled by default is because it does not support all types of PNG images, but supports the most common, so very likely it will work with your images too. Why is PNG more expensive than JPG to process? One reason is transparency, which JPG does not support. To embed a PNG in PDF the transparency bytes have to be separated from the RGB bytes, and then both are embedded in the PDF as separated components. The other reason is compression. When not using the native image loader, the PNG image needs to be uncompressed and converted to a plain RGB bitmap. This process can be very expensive.

tif vs. jpg
I just noticed a recent routine that we wrote that is dynamically creating graphic files and embedding into a report where we use FOP to generate into a PDF. The xml data has the filename as TIF, but the graphic files are being created as TIF file but with an extension of JPG. Is this an issue? The PDF looks OK. I can easily convert the TIF to JPG, but is it necessary? Will I run into any issues if I don't convert to TIF?

PDF size reduction
Hello fop users! Is there a way in FOP to reduce the size of the PDF? We are embedding the PDF with a high resolution graphics which creates a huge PDF document. One of the departments here at work would prefer a smaller PDF document, and they don't care about the quality of the graphics. Is there a way we can do this?

RE: font missing warning
Eric, Our Test server's fonts are located in the C: drive. The Production server's fonts are located in the H: drive (that's where Windows was installed). How do I tell FOP that the fonts are located on the H: drive? Maybe that's the issue?

RE: font missing warning
Hello Jeremias, Thank you for shaking my memory. Yes on the TEST server, we have a folder named .FOP that is in the USERACCOUNT's directory. Inside this is a file called fop-fonts.cache. There is no such folder on our Production server. Would you know why this is so? If this folder is not there, then where would it be looking for these cached fonts? If like you say in the temp directory, where would that be on a Windows system? Thank you again. -Original Message- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:d...@jeremias-maerki.ch] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 12:22 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: font missing warning Normally, FOP puts the fop-fonts.cache file in user.home/.fop.

Thanks for the help Jeremias. I'm new to FOP, so I don't know the ins and outs of it. Hopefully by fixing this issue, I'll learn a little from it.

RE: font missing warning
I'm getting somewhere... On the Test server, I renamed conf.xconf. When I tried to create the pdf from the Test server, I get this: WARNING: Font 'Consolas,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400' But when I renamed it back to conf.xconf, I am still getting this error. I read in the docs that you can specify the config, so I did this: C:\Program Files\Apache\fopfop -xsl \temp\roberto\test2.xsl -xml \temp\roberto\test2.xml -pdf \temp\roberto\test2c.pdf -c conf\fop.xconf It worked again. I did the same on the PRODUCTION server, adding the -c option at the end, it also worked. Now, I'm trying to figure out where to put this -c option in the FOP.BAT so that it can work within.

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).

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.

On the Test server, I renamed conf.xconf. When I tried to create the pdf from the Test server, I get this: WARNING: Font 'Consolas,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400' But when I renamed it back to conf.xconf, I am still getting this error. I read in the docs that you can specify the config, so I did this: C:\Program Files\Apache\fopfop -xsl \temp\roberto\test2.xsl -xml \temp\roberto\test2.xml -pdf \temp\roberto\test2c.pdf -c conf\fop.xconf It worked again. I did the same on the PRODUCTION server, adding the -c option at the end, it also worked. Now, I'm trying to figure out where to put this -c option in the FOP.BAT so that it can work within. Thanks again Eric and Jeremias. -Original Message- From: Eric Douglas [mailto:edoug...@blockhouse.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2011 2:43 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: 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...

RE: font embed-url...
Hello Jeremias, We want to upgrade to FOP 1.0, but we would like to test it out first on a test machine before we put it into a live machine. Right now we are using version 0.95 and it is working well. We just have now a requirement that we want to embed the font in some documents. I am new to FOP so I will definitely be sending a lot of beginner questions to this mailing list. I have also been looking at the archive mailing list for this group in a website that I found online.
