Hi all, I am currently using batik and pdftranscoder.jar to transform svg documents into pdf. Recently I tried the new text flowing features of SVG 1.2 and was pretty disappointed by the results. It seems that the flowRegion ant flowPara elements and so forth are silently ignored. At least the output is very different to what I would expect. On http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/dev/svg12.html I read the SVG 1.2 should be supported in the branch. I compiled the latest trunk and use it to transform the SVG but the text just doesn't get rendered and the flowRegion is always shown as a black box.
>From what I've read in the mailing lists and on the batik webpage, the text flowing features are supported or at least should be. So, what am I doing wrong here? Here is a very simple example that I actually took from the w3c page and that I am working with. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.2//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd";> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xml=" http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"; width="742.6771734" height="969.4488284" version="1.2" xml:space="preserve"> <title>Basic textflow</title> <rect x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" fill="yellow"/> <flowRoot font-size="16"> <flowRegion> <path d="M100,50L50,300L250,300L300,50z" style="background-color:#111111" fill="#111111"/> </flowRegion> <flowPara>Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow; creeps in this petty pace from day to day, until the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. </flowPara> </flowRoot> <path d="M90,40L40,270L260,270L210,40z" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="5"/> </svg> Anybody manages to transform this to pdf with proper text layout? Any comments on the current status of the SVG 1.2 support? Here is part of my java code: Reader domReader = DOMUtilities.createXMLDocumentReader(is); SAXSVGDocumentFactory saxDocFactory = new SAXSVGDocumentFactory( "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"); SVGDocument svgDocument = saxDocFactory.createSVGDocument(null, domReader); PDFTranscoder pdfTranscoder = new PDFTranscoder(); TranscoderInput tInput = new TranscoderInput(svgDocument); TranscoderOutput tOutput = new TranscoderOutput(tmpBout); pdfTranscoder.transcode(tInput, tOutput); Any help and comments will be rewarded with pure gratefulness.
