Re: Creating PDF with graphics
Hi Michael, J.Pietschmann is right, I also had trouble with the batik and fop jars. The jar-Files I use now: fop.jar (V20.4) 1.694.560 Bytes batik.jar (from fop V20.4) 2.163.538 Bytes I'm using: cocoon 2.0.3 tomcat 4.0.4 jdk 1.3.1 under NT 4.0 and Solaris (under Solaris I use the PJA-Toolkit because I have no X-Windows on this server) If you use this jars and you get no java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError I guess my original code should work Hope this helps, Ralph [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ralph, many thanks, this is, what I expected. If it works, I only have to add svg: to the graphics tag. But it currently doesn't work. The result is a broken PDF output - only about the 10 first bytes from the PDF. I played a bit with your code and I found, that the line svg:svg ... (closed with the matching end tag) killed the PDF creation. fo:block fo:instream-foreign-object svg:svg width=150mm height=10mm /svg:svg /fo:instream-foreign-object /fo:block As you can see, I replaced the 800.0 and 8.0 values, because I got a error message about a missing transformation parameter or so. After doing this, the last log entry in catalina.out, that seems to be written in the case of the svg:svg block, is: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/batik/dom/svg/DefaultSVGContext I wonder about this, because the SVG-Demo from Cocoon works fine and contains similar code as yours. Do I have to reconfigure anything or install something? I installed the normal Cocoon 2.0.3 package and Tomcat 4.1.8 on a Linux box. There is a package batik-all-1.5b2.jar installed in the cocoon lib-directory. I didn't understand what's wrong. I use the J2SDK 1.4.0 from the Sun site ;- ). Meanwhile, I read some docs about instream-foreign-object and found, that your code looks 100% correct. So I assume it's my mistake. Other messages here in the list are also about a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError, but for other classes. It looks like a typical configuration- oder dependency problem.

Re: Creating PDF with graphics / Batik / NoClassDefFoundError
Many thanks to all! I'v downloaded the fop-0.20.4 package and extracted fop and batik to the cocoon lib-directory and it works fine. What's about a official sample for Cocoon that demonstrates the PDF with embedded graphics feature (or at least for Cocoon testing)? If I have more expierience with Cocoon, I may create such sample - if there is not an real expert who wish to do this. Who should be contacted for this idea? My current configuration: Tomcat 4.1.8 Cocoon 2.0.3 J2SDK 1.4.0 from Sun -- replaced in */tomcat4/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/lib/ fop-0.20.3.jar by fop-0.20.4.jar batik-all-1.5b2.jar by batik from the fop-package 0.20.4 as batik.jar -- Running uppon Linux on a Intel box Greetings and many thanks again, Michael. PS: Is there anyone who knows the Cocoon packager, to ask him to correct this problem? I spent nearly 3 days for it and I assume, I'm not the first one.

Creating PDF with graphics
I'v seen the Cocoon2 samples after installing a fresh 2.0.3 Cocoon. There are two interesting samples for me, one generates a PDF with a text and one generates a text in a graphics format (SVG). Is it possible, to combine both, to generate PDF's containing text /and/ graphics? If so, is there any sample out there?

Re: Creating PDF with graphics
Yes, you can combine both. Use xsl:fo to insert the image, but make sure you call it by using the absolute URL (including http://domain/...) All you need to do then is create a pipeline that generates the image when requesting it.

Re: Creating PDF with graphics
Bert, a good idea, using graphics from an external source. I think, I will use it too. But what I need is a way to draw graphics (like the SVG-sample) inside my text document, to draw fancy borders or other layout elements. SVG seems to be good for this, the SVG sample is impressive! I found some good looking SVG samples in the net. But I don't know, how to include the SVG elements into my stylesheet or whereever, to make them appear in the PDF result. Are there any samples for Cocoon where I can learn how to do this? I'm almost new to Cocoon, so I think, sample files or applications will be the best to learn how this works.

Re: Creating PDF with graphics
You should do 3 things: 1. Check the PDF docs and see if it understands SVG. If so, send SVG and not a bitmap. The quality of teh image will be better 2. Check out the SVG docs at http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Overview.htm8 to see how you create SVG docs. 3. Check the xsl:fo documentation http://www.antennahouse.com/XSLsample/XSLsample.htm to see how you need to create an xsl:fo document The absolute URL is needed to get FOP to import the image. It has nothing to do with an external source or not, just that this is a bug in FOP! Unfortunately there are no samples in Cocoon where a PDF contains dynamically generated images.

Hi,
try something like

height=8.0
svg:g style=stroke:#00; stroke-width:1.0

/fo:block
If you are looking for examples take a look at the batik-project also
from apache ( http://xml.apache.org/batik ).
Greetings,
