Re: Re: RTF-Output with FOP 0.93 looks terrible
Hi Vincent, great :-) But the Stylesheet for generating an OpenOffice- or better OpenDocument has not finished at all. That's a pitty :-( Have you tried to open an OpenDocument-file in Microsoft Word? Most users are using word (a terrible application) and want to have a modifiable document which can be opened in Microsoft Word. So the only way is RTF at the moment :-( I have to find another way to make it looks better in word. Thanks for the link to the docbook2odf-project.

If you want to generate a modifiable format from DocBook you will probably have much more success with the docbook2odf [1] or the roundtrip part of the DocBook stylesheets. I haven't looked at either of those. The link below might be interesting. The DocBook stylesheets allow to convert DocBook to WordML (and also ODF now, I believe) and vice-versa. Have a look at the docbook-apps@ archives and the DocBook website. Anyway, if I had to produce modifiable documents from DocBook sources I would certainly invest my time on such solutions rather than dealing with RTF.

Hi Jeremias, you are correct: RTF is a terrible format. But seems to be the only way to get a modifiable document. There are also tools like which convert PDF to Word-Documents. But these tools also had the problem in correct converting PDF. In this case I'm using DocBook to create complex documentations. With the DocBook-Stylesheets I want to generate e.g. HTML, PDF and also an for Microsoft Word applicable Document. Because of Adrian's question of what RTF viewing application I'm using (I used Microsoft Word), I used OpenOffice and hey it looks good - relativley. Only some XSL-FO-Features are missing (I described them in my answer of Adrians answer). I will create a small DocBook-Document with some XSL-FO-Features which shows the occured problems. So maybe we find a solution ;-) Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Kerstin ### Let me start by stating that RTF is a terrible format to begin with (well, that's a personal opinion). Generally, it's not possible to map every feature in XSL-FO into RTF. But then, RTF is probably also the weakest output format in Apache FOP. I would only recommend RTF output for relatively simple business letters where people have to do some modifications before they are sent to the client. I'd be interested in the use case you have to convert DocBook to RTF. Please note that the RTF output is optimized for Microsoft Word. It will definitely look terrible in OpenOffice.

FOP 0.93: Java Heap Space OutOfMemory
While generating a PDF from XML+XSL using FOP 0.93, FOP stops with Exception in thread main java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. Are their any limitations set in FOP or this is just a problem of to few system memory? The generated PDF have more than 71 pages. - Besseren Schutz gegen Spam - jetzt bei dem neuen Yahoo! Mail .

Printing PDF generated from FOP 0.93
Just using FOP 0.93 to generated PDF-Output. Everything looks fine. But printing of some pages from Adobe Reader 8.0 and 8.1 are not possible. It just says: Printing failes. Using KPDF on Linux-Machine or something like Foxit Reader 2.0, the pages aren't printed out with Adobe Reader just printing now. The pages aren't printed out makes a pagebreak inside a paragraph. Let's have a look at this: fo:block space-before.optimum=1em space-before.minimum=0.8em space-before.maximum=1.2em fo:inline font-weight=bold Windows-Verwaltungsanfälligkeiten: /fo:inline/fo:block fo:block space-before.optimum=1em space-before.minimum=0.8em space-before.maximum=1.2em Die Kennwortüberprüfung zeigte, dass zwei von fünf Benutzerkonten ein schwaches Kennwort besitzen.

Is this just a bug of Adobe Reader 8 or Adobe in General or maybe a feature? Thanks. - Wissenswertes zum Thema PC, Zubehör oder Programme.BE A BETTER INTERNET-GURU!
