Problems rendering PDF dynamically, but identical fop xml works fine when sent straight to serializer
Been doing some fairly sophisticated XML FO transformations. However, when I try to view the finished PDF, The Acrobat reader reports this error in the status bar: An error has occurred while trying to use this document. What is interesting is that if I serialize FO to xml rather than using fo2pdf, then the FO works fine. If I save the XML and create a new pipeline entry to render that saved xml as a pdf using fo2pdf then it works. So the transformation seems to be OK, and rendering static XML as PDFs is OK. Has anyone experienced similar problems - and if so how did you resolve it ?? Please Help Me , James __ Do You Yahoo!?

The plot thickens !! (RE: Problems rendering PDF dynamically, but identical fop xml works fine when sent straight to serializer)
Cheers Robert (I'll test that out tomorrow - am away from my dev machine now - although another test described below seems to suggest that my Cocoon installation is fine.) Earlier I decided to load the page in netscape 6 instead - it worked, switch back to IE 6 - doesn't work. Has anybody else experienced problems where PDFs are delivered to Netscape but not IE. Everything works fine under Tomcat 4.0.1, but not 4.0.3 or 4.1.12 , and as far as I am aware, everything else is the same in terms of the Cocoon installation, and everything else that I've tested works in all three Tomcat versions. any help will be much appreciated. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: James, Ran into something similar...this may help: Make sure that the fop JAR file version inside Cocoon is the same as the one you use when you serialize. I had fop-0.20.4.jar running from the command line and fop-0.20.3.jar running inside Cocoon and noticed some anomalies. Hope this helps!

Thanks Antonio, I think that may be the problem (I then installed netscape and it worked fine) - I'll check my browser when I'm on my work machine tomorrow. cheers again, James --- Antonio Gallardo Rivera [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try to send a response with a clear PDF extension.

Re: SVG image tag fails: 'xlink:href' required
I posted a similar problem (although got no replies or help from this list!) instead of putting your reference to xmlns:xlink in your svg header, put it in your stylesheet header as follows. (The transformer engine won't be able to validate the stylesheet otherwise.) xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform; xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; That should fix the problem. I got it working so that it would produce me the svg with embedded images. However, as soon as I try to then serialize the svg into a jpeg, you get a broken image symbol rendered in the final output. I'm trying to get the bottom of why the svg2jpeg serializer breaks with embedded png images. I would be eternally greatful (OK slight exagerration) if anyone has got that to work. Hope that helps, and let me know if you can serialize to jpeg. cheers, James Ashton --- Upayavira [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear All, I have been experimenting with SVG, in that I need to overlay a number of transparent images.

svg2jpeg not working properly.
Hi, I'm a fairly new Cocoon user and have encountered a weird problem that I've not been able to solve. I have an SVG File which consists of a JPEG image and a Text string. I have broken that up into a Stylesheet. Once the transform is done, it is serialized to JPEG before rendering to the browser. I've done this so that I can automatically put a copyright notice (or other message) on images before web delivery. I did get this working (honest!) but it seemed to just stop working (in that I'm not aware that I did anything that could have broken it). However if I serialize to SVGXML it works fine (so I'm 99.9% sure the stylesheet is still fine). If I try to serialize the original SVG file to JPEG it doesn't work. Here are the relavent sections of my site map to illustrate what I'm saying: !-- This works -- map:match pattern=picture.svg map:generate src=docs/picture.xml/ map:transform src=stylesheets/picture.xsl/ map:serialize type=svgxml/ /map:match !-- These don't work -- map:match pattern=picture.jpg map:generate src=docs/picture.xml/ map:transform src=stylesheets/picture.xsl/ map:serialize type=svg2jpeg/ /map:match map:match pattern=testpicture.jpg map:generate src=picture.svg/ map:serialize type=svg2jpeg/ /map:match The strange thing is that there are no log messages and a jpeg IS rendered. I've made that available on http://www10.brinkster.com/jamesashton/broken.jpg However it only renders the text layered over the top. The png which is the source image does not render. The other interesting this is that the Sample Jpeg render no longer works. I have not touched the main site map or any of the samples code. Any Help would be much appreciated, regards, James __ Do You Yahoo!?
