Hello fopit, I'm not sure I understand what you want. Let me rephrase and tell me, if I'm correct:
* You have an XML file and a XSL file and generate PDFs. * You want to generate a PDF, where only the first few lines of a text are displayed * You want to use the same XML file and the same XSL file If that is correct, you can reuse your XML file, but need a slightly different transformation in which the text is shortend. That's not correct xsl code, but in place of <fo:block>$variable_holding_long_text</fo:block> you would need a <fo:block>substring($variable_holding_long_text, 1, $variable_holding_number_of_characters_to_display</fo:block> Regards, Georg Datterl ------ Kontakt ------ Georg Datterl Geneon media solutions gmbh Gutenstetter Straße 8a 90449 Nürnberg HRB Nürnberg: 17193 Geschäftsführer: Yong-Harry Steiert Tel.: 0911/36 78 88 - 26 Fax: 0911/36 78 88 - 20 www.geneon.de Weitere Mitglieder der Willmy MediaGroup: IRS Integrated Realization Services GmbH: www.irs-nbg.de Willmy PrintMedia GmbH: www.willmy.de Willmy Consult & Content GmbH: www.willmycc.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: fopit [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.

I'm using FOP to create PDF from XML. Nothing particular, and it works great. But I also want to use it - and the same XSL-FO - to create a text from the XML, a simple viewer of the PDF for final users, and there, problems begin : it's like having a very size-limited buffer, only the beginning of my text is render. I read here and there that fop wasn't the best thing to do text-rendering, but, really, I just want a viewer, nothing complicate or fancy. So, I wonder, why do fop render me only the beginning of my text, and is there anything to do to change that?
