XSL:FO acts like a template library similar to FreeMarker or Velocity substiuting in values for attributes to FOP elements and then generating the PDF based on the parameters you supplied
so blaming FOP for incorrect params you supply in all probability wont solve this particular problem if PDF is generated from SVG then i would suggest concentrate on the SVG to PDF generation if after dissecting SVG to PDF generator you are still calling No Joy for generating your PDF then you can write your own converter Martin Gainty ______________________________________________ Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.

From: dsrog...@hp.com To: batik-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: mismatch between pdf and png Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:12:57 +0000 I’ve done more research on this, (though I haven’t gotten a solid response from the list yet). I’ve managed to upgrade to FOP 1.1 in order to nail down if it was a bug in the embedded version of FOP. Here is what I mean. The PDF and PNG were both generated from the SVG. They don’t match. The PNG matches what I see in Chrome. The PDF does not. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B73ieqBa7GmsRlY0UjAzLWNqODA/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B73ieqBa7GmscmFxMnpSQ2p3Z3c/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B73ieqBa7GmsM3JlZC0wRTlCbHM/edit?usp=sharing Is this a bug? If it’s a bug, I’m happy to file… -- Daniel From: Rogers, Daniel Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 4:52 PM To: 'batik-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org' Subject: mismatch between pdf and png Hi, I’m trying to produce a web-based renderer for SVG using batik 1.1. I’d really like PDF output. However when I render: http://www.w3schools.com/svg/tryit.asp?filename=trysvg_path2 (after deleting the font=”sans-serif” attribute) to png, jpeg and pdf using batik-rasterizer.jar, PDF output is different and clearly NOT matching png, jpeg or browser output. The blue curve touches the green line in all versions but PDF. In PDF, the blue curve is below the green line. Shouldn’t these be the same? I thought it might be a bug in the version of FOP embedded in batik and tried replacing pdf-transcoder.jar, but it started dragging in a bunch of apache Avalon dependencies, and I didn’t dig further. -- Daniel
