Hi Saptarshi, Hmmm... yes your application need uses the CommanLineOptions class that's why u mentioned the -c switch.
Well, in my case the process of PDF generation is simple -> XML + XSL = PDF, in which I have to introduce MICR fonts and I guess the org.apache.fop.apps.Options will work for me. But good to know about the CommandLineOptions class, never know when I may need it. thanks, Anil. -----Original Message----- From: Saptarshi Sen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 12:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MICR font in FOP as an embedded application.. Hi Anil, We are using FOP to convert SVG images -> FO -> PDF. After forming the FO file, we issue a command to FOP to convert it to a PDF. The call to FOP goes somewhat like this: String[] args = new String[]{"-c", userConfigFile, "-fo", inputFile, "-pdf", outputFile}; try { CommandLineOptions options = new CommandLineOptions(args); Starter starter = options.getStarter(); starter.run(); } catch (FOPException fopEx) { } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfEx) { } Here, userConfigFile, inputFile and outputFile are the paths of the respective files. If you check the Fop.java source code, it does a similar thing in it's main() method. Regards, Saptarshi. -----Original Message----- From: Anil R.

Thanks guys, As the userconfig xml within the jar s not being used, I guess I'll stick to the approach mentioned by Saptarshi, which hapens to also be the one suggested on the Apache FOP website, except one thing, in the embedded mode we need to use the org.apache.fop.apps.Options class that represents the '-c' switch used for the command line option. If anyone has any other approach I'll be more than happy to hear from them. Thanks everyone.

How to use a config file in an embedded environment is described on the website: http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#config-external > > I am lost as to where should the custom font-metrics xml and userconfig.xml > file reside when using the standard fop.jar (as the userconfig.xml already > exists in the jar) Yes, there is indeed a userconfig.xml in FOP.jar, but its not used! <snip/> Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
