Hi, I have a problem with FOP-0.20.3 and way its generating the pdf output of absolut positioned block-containers. Here is my problem: (Text has been modified to protect the innocent) I define block containers in a page-sequence like this: <fo:block-container height="1.5cm" width="5cm" top="18.5cm" left="4cm" position="absolute"> <fo:block text-align="start" line-height="10pt" font-family="Helvetica" font-size="8pt"> some text </fo:block> </fo:block-container> <fo:block-container height="1.5cm" width="5cm" top="18.5cm" left="9cm" position="absolute"> <fo:block text-align="start" line-height="10pt" font-family="Helvetica" font-size="8pt"> some more text </fo:block> </fo:block-container> <fo:block-container height="1.5cm" width="5cm" top="18.5cm" left="14cm" position="absolute"> <fo:block text-align="start" line-height="10pt" font-family="Helvetica" font-size="8pt"> even more text </fo:block> </fo:block-container>
As you can see all of the block containers share the same height,width and top.the only difference is the positioning for left. Now that is what Fop generates in the pdf: /F1 8 Tf 0.0 Tc 1 0 0 1 141.731 268.217 Tm [(some text) 0.0 Tc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Definition of the Text Matrix -11437.625 (some more text) 0.0 Tc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ relative positioning -11326.5 (even more text) ] TJ As you can see only the first block is positioned absolut(it has a text matrix defined) all others are defined relative to the first one which is exactly what i dont want(besides all those line break that seem to blow up the size of the file). My question: Any way to change that so that all blocks are generated absolut? Thanks for your help It is very appreciated in this matter.
