Hmmm.
These are interesting.
On the
table problem, could it be that the part that appears to not be printing is
actually outside of the printer's printable area?
How
much is the image off center? If it just appears to be a little off center it
may be because the PCLRenderer only supports images scaled in discrete steps.
FOP's layout is unaware of this, so it may be placing the image based on what it
thinks the actual scaled size is - not the size the PCLRenderer will produce.
IIRC images are placed by the upper left corner - so this could cause an image
to appear off center.
HTH,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]" type="cite">Well, that's fine ;-)I am the person who is mostly to blame for the PCLRenderer. Unfortunately I have not been able to work on it for a while - and I do not know when I will be able to do so. Of course anyone else is free to work on it - but I have not seen many others doing much on it.If there are some particular limitations that you find most onerous, perhaps I can take a look at them... especially if they are easy to fix. However the main limitations that I am aware of will require significant effort. These are restoring SVG support, adding font support, adding color support, etc.At present I think that it is unlikely that any significant limitations in the PCLRenderer will be addressed in the short term. It is quite possible that this could change. Next week I am planning on trying to get more resources committed to XML reporting at my employer. If successful, I may be able to spend more time on FOP.
Hi, I have problems too with the PCL renderer. The PDF renderer works fine for:
-handling tables aligned right in the footer ("Page N°1/5" for exemple in a one cell table
aligned right).
-handling images centered inside a fo:block.
I just can't do that with the PCL renderer, which doesn't produce the whole thing in the footer
(stops to "Page N°" and then ... nothing more in the footer...). If I ever use a single fo:block
aligned right, this does work... Si this problem is not really urgent for me.
But the image centering is quite important, and I still haven't found a new way of getting it centered.
Can you help?
Thanks a lot!
Bruno Verachten.
