it jumps to the wrong destination, sometimes it even jumps to a destination if I click on flowers.pdf in the web directory, so it should go top-of-file (I suppose it had the dest cached). Bottom line: don't trust any browser to work 100% correctly with named destinations. Ch

Re: does fop use xalan internally

2007-07-30 Thread Patrick Paul
That is correct -- FOP uses Xalan to process your XML documents using the XSL stylesheet you provide. Of course you can always use another XLT processor like xsltproc and feed the resulting FO to FOP. HTH, Patrick Baeckham wrote: > Just a short question for a better understanding of FOP. > > Doe

Hi Nancy, I do not believe this is an FOP bug. Could you tell us what version of FOP you are using? As well try to run then .fo I have included at the end of this message. It uses proportional-column-width and I have no problems with FOP 0.93. Let us know if it works. Patrick nancy_b wrote: >

Read the paragraph at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/running.html#check-input This will explain why, and how you can generate the FO file. Once you have the .fo use FOP: fop -fo file.fo -pdf out.pdf Now FOP will report the problem and tell you where it found a problem in the FO file.
