Re: User-config (RE: Question on XSLTInputHandler)

[Jeremias Maerki]

The problem is that FOP still makes extensive use of static constructs.
The Options class accesses the Configuration class which has static
Hashtables to hold the configuration.

Apart from that the code below should work.

Markers (fo:retrieve-marker) put content (as determined by the "best" 
qualifying fo:marker) in the static content. Plus only one marker gets 
retrieved. So you can see they are not intended for indexes - the spec 
indicates that markers are suited for manufacturing header (or footer, or 
sidebar) content that is somewhat dependent on current context - e.g. what 
is the current chapter title, what is the current section title, etc etc.

I think you might be able to do something with straight XSL, but it would be 
ugly, and I think you would normally have redundancies (3 occurrences of an 
indexed word on one page - what do you do?). Perhaps the best solution is a 
2-stage one: consider the possibility of doing one formatting pass that 
generates the XML area tree. Use a Perl or Python script to generate an 
index from this data. After all, it _is_ paginated. Then write an extra 
fo:page-sequence that creates the index, and re-run FOP to produce the final 
PDF document.

This is the kind of thing you have to do with LaTeX (well, with makeindex, 
not Perl scripts), for good reason. It's tough to do well any other way. :-)

I should add, LaTeX \index entries go right into the formatted text. There 
is an advantage to doing this with XSL also, as the decision-making remains 
with the original XML. In this case the XSL/FOP procedure for index 
generation could be identical to LaTeX (no need to use the XMLRenderer any 
more):

1) Place  in those spots in your original XML 
where you know that have content that you wish to index with "index_text";
2) Run your XSLT, and have the  tags converted into some 
 construct. These elements have meaning to indexer only, 
which can be invoked when FOP is run - the effect is to open up an index 
file and record entries by page number;
3) Review the index file. Edit it, OR edit the original XML and rerun FOP, 
or both, until the index file is satisfactory;
4) Run a Perl or Python script (I admit grudgingly that it could be Java 
also) to take the index file and produce an XML file that will convert into 
a page-sequence (the XSLT needs to be ready for this, as required); this can 
be added into the original XML with a reference.
5) Rerun XSLT and FOP, and voila.

I think that an index will require this much work in general, no more and no 
less. It is an art form to produce a good, useful index and it is just not 
going to happen with a simple, automated pass. I also want to stress that 
indexes are derivative - they represent new content, and have parallels with 
footnotes. Some of the discussion so far has seemingly treated indexes as 
being more like word search indexes, and that is not what we are talking
about.

Just some thoughts.

Just for future reference, can I ask which approach you used?

If you decided to use multi-column, and put your graphic in a span='all' 
fo:block, I should warn you that column balancing is pretty rough around the 
edges at the moment, with existing FOP versions. This is something that will 
have to be addressed in the rewrite.

RE: Question on XSLTInputHandler

[jthaemlitz]

You can use org.apache.fop.apps.Driver to get the
org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler and fire sax events on that.  The
initialization code is highly order dependent.

// THIS IS JUST SOME SET UP CODE
// set up Logger
Hierarchy hierarchy = Hierarchy.getDefaultHierarchy();
PatternFormatter formatter = new PatternFormatter( "
[%{priority}]:%{message}\n%{throwable}" );
LogTarget target = new StreamTarget(System.out, formatter);
hierarchy.setDefaultLogTarget(target);
Logger log = hierarchy.getLoggerFor("fop");
// get output stream one way or
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream( "filename.pdf" );

// HERE's THE CODE YOU NEED
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(out);
driver.setLogger( log );
driver.setRenderer( driver.RENDER_PDF );
DefaultHandler handler = (DefaultHandler) driver.getContentHandler() );
handler.startDocument();
...
handler.endDocument();
out.close();

After seeing Yuri's implementation I'd go with his.  The above avoids
having to create a XML data file but you wind up with quite a bit of
wrapper code and loose the XSL template cache.  However it is another
direct way, it also gives you a little more control since you are fireing
SAX events from Java rather than XSLT.  Then again that kind of stuff
should probably be done in an extension.

Before I go on, let me say I turned my XSLT-transformed document into a
string and then handed it to Fop.

XML tree -> Xalan transform handler -> serialize -> string -> Fop

However, this is silly.

It would be more intelligent to be able to send Sax events to Fop. I
found a class in the Fop source that handles it, but it seems to care
about Jim Clark's XML handlers. I use the Apache XML code and would
rather stick with those. I plan on looking into the Fop content handler
that claims need of Clark's stuff and see if it really cares, or
finding another content handler, or creating a regular Sax content
handler that can talk to Fop. Perhaps Cocoon has one since you can have
PDF generated at the end of a Cocoon pipeline. Does anyone know of one
that already exists?

[PATCH] Proper use of font encodings for "native" fonts

[Peter S. Housel]

One of the major annoyances for me as I tried to use FOP has been that
it didn't try very hard to get the encodings of the Symbol and
ZapfDingbats fonts right.  In particular, using the proper Unicode
characters for glyphs in these fonts wasn't possible.

The enclosed patch (against 0.20.2, though it should apply cleanly
against the CVS HEAD version) fixes the encoding mechanism.  It splits
charlist.xml (which only covered WinAnsiEncoding) into two files,
glyphlist.xml (containing the official Adobe Glyph List and Zapf
Dingbats glyph lists), and encodings.xml (containing all of the
standard Adobe encodings).  This forces the build process to do a
relational "join" on the two files to generate CodePointMapping.java,
slowing it down a little bit.

It still uses the WinAnsiEncoding for text fonts because this vector
gives the best coverage.  Building with -Dtextfontencoding=MacRomanEncoding or
-Dtextfontencoding=MacExpertEncoding should work too, and allow a different
subset of the font characters in the native text fonts.  With the addition of
code to output encoding vectors, other encodings (such as CEEncoding) could
be used.

Note that this patch requires that the ant distribution's
"optional.jar" be added to lib.

Re: html2pdf, for god's sake

Hello Huaxin,

I've developed html2fo to convert from html to xsl:fo. Using FOP you will get 
a mostly well formated output. It is available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/html2fo

it is not possible to create forms in pdf because there is no extention to 
fop which generate this.

if your html code is not well formed you will get a better output if you use 
HTML Tidy before html2fo.

Acrobat offers a free "printing to pdf" driver for windows. It is installed 
on my pc at work so I don't know where to get it.

well, instead of using just a single fo:page-sequence, you use more than
one. ie:

Each page-sequence will start on a new page.

I've already posted this code to the list, but

  - the resulting PDF is not stored in memory, but
 streamed directly into the output stream

 then converted to byte array, and only then is
 writted to the output stream)

document dynamically and have it as a java.lang.String in memory. It
seems unnecessary I/O to write it out to a temporary file, just to pass
it to the XSLTInputHandler. Looking at the source of
XSLTInputHandler.java I didn't find any alternate way to call it. What
would the recommended procedure be in this case, where I already have
the XML document in memory?

thanks in advance for any pointers,

RE: Question on XSLTInputHandler

[Robax Man]

Before I go on, let me say I turned my XSLT-transformed document into a
string and then handed it to Fop.

XML tree -> Xalan transform handler -> serialize -> string -> Fop

However, this is silly.

It would be more intelligent to be able to send Sax events to Fop. I
found a class in the Fop source that handles it, but it seems to care
about Jim Clark's XML handlers. I use the Apache XML code and would
rather stick with those. I plan on looking into the Fop content handler
that claims need of Clark's stuff and see if it really cares, or
finding another content handler, or creating a regular Sax content
handler that can talk to Fop. Perhaps Cocoon has one since you can have
PDF generated at the end of a Cocoon pipeline. Does anyone know of one
that already exists?

User-config (RE: Question on XSLTInputHandler)

[Ramin Firoozye]

Since we're on the subject of embedding FOP...

I still can't figure out how to specify the FOP Driver to load the user
configuration file from inside a servlet. You need this if you want to have
your servlet support fonts other than the built-in ones.

The docs say use something like:

  Options opt = new Options();
  opt.loadUserconfiguration("/path-to-user-conf/userconfig.xml");

But there are no calls on the Driver object (that I can see) to get it to
use the alternate Options object.

Any thoughts?

Graphics in Cocoon 2

[Matthias Fischer]

This graphics topic in Cocoon 2 (in order not to speak of Cocoon 1...) is
really tricky - I thought we had it under control in the meantime, but it
appears, we haven't. Graphics are displayed sometimnes and sometimes not,
sometimes gifs aren't and sometimes tif's; sometimes it seems it's the fault
of Windows® 2000, and that everythings works well under Windows® NT,
sometimes - like this afternoon - it doesn't. It has been the case that we
thought to succeed with putting one kind of source file path into XSL-FO
rather than another one, but then, one day later, both types of path work.

I really wonder whether it is possible to get a stable system one could hand
out to a customer?!

Is there anybody with ... as big as this who can supply me with a complete
set of plausible and praxis-proven instructions on how I'll get the damned
thing to output pdf's with graphics?



Well, in central Europe its dark by now, I'm going. I wonder whether I'll
find some marvellous news tomorrow in my mailbox, that will resolve all my
problems...

I thank you in advance for your really indispensable help, without which my
team and I, at 98% of the path, cannot really get to any acceptable results.

After the interruption, the resulting PDF is broken.

fop itself didn't produce any output at all:

Fop crashes also if fo is generated via Saxon 6.4.4.

The error seems to be related to tables: removing all tables from the XML source
solves the problem.

With best regards,
Baurjan.

If the curves you are refereing to are normal svg curves without any
effects then they have been converted directly into pdf curves. This means
that are an exact represenation (within reason) of the svg curves. The
problem then is with acrobat check the preferences.

If your svg is creating a graphic which is embedded into the pdf then the
issue is different. You will need to work out how to make batik draw the
images at a higher resolution.

XSL allows you to specify a multi-column region-body with N columns. You 
have specified 3. Your _only_ options are to have content laid-out into 3 
columns (span='none'), or one (span='all').

These are not tables. They are classic text columns, where content flows 
from one to the other. You probably want to use either a real table, or 
alternatively, use span='all', and align and size your graphic appropriately 
in that span-reference-area - after all, you know the dimensions ahead of 
time that correspond to what you are trying to do.

PrintRenderer

[sjeanjean]

Hello,

FOP is a very interesting project !! Bravo !!
I would like to use it to print from a Swing application (embeded
solution). I have few questions :
- Why the PrintRenderer is an inner class of PrintStarter and it s not in
the org.apache.fop.render ? I have done a test to print directly a document
(no pdf or ps document generation), so I have to rewrite the PrintRenderer
(copy/paste).
- If I want to display a preview, have I to render 2 times my document :
one by the awtRenderer and one by printRenderer ?
- How could I use the sun implementation of parser and transformer (no
Xalan or Xerces) ?

Thanks for your answers !!!

bye,

Stephane

Subject: " keep-together.within-page" not implemented?


Hi together,

I tried to use "keep-together.within-page" in a block, but I didn't see any
changes! Is this attribute not implemented?

Re: [REDESIGN] Initial cut at Layout Manager

[Keiron Liddle]

Arved (and anyone else interested),

As far as getting this all to work there are a few areas that need some
work.

The image package needs a bit of a rethink:
- explicitly load images only when needed (determining size if size not
specified and for embedding)
- allow for the various types of output
- cache images (weak hashmap?) after finished with (have strong reference
until then)
- renderers keep their own concept of the image once embedded
- central store of images that may have context, be thread safe
- the key to the image is the (original) url

PDF Document classes:
- mostly good and has served us well, except a few bad things have crept
into it (or out of it)
- pdf linking should be completely in the pdf package
- pdf images should be completely inside the pdf package
- fonts

Layout:
No doubt there are a lot of things left to do.
It's hard to pinpoint a particular part at the moment. I am still working
on the concepts.
I suppose we need to work from the top down (root, pagination, flow etc.)
while keeping in mind how to handle things like id references.

Is it possible to add each block to the layout when the end element is
encountered from sax? Then can we quickly start sending pages through to be
rendered as soon as a page has been finished.

Nothing really specific unless you want something simple like title or
color-profile.

Regards,
Keiron Liddle.

My Unicode cmap and Symbol encoding solution

[Attila Kertes]

Hi,

For your information:

I had a problem with the Sample OCR-B fonts supplied
by IDautomation.com. This font has a Windows Symbol
encoding (PID=3, EID=0) which caused the TTFReader to
say:
Unicode cmap table not present

As a solution I remapped the Symbol encoding to ANSI
encoding which is required by TTFReader. (PID = 3, EID
= 1). I did it with
Softy(http://users.iclway.co.uk/l.emmett/) manually,
because I could only access that software (*sigh*).
This is not the best solution.
I donwloaded FontLab demo, which has a save option
"Use following codepage for first 256 characters". I
think this is the automatic way to change the Symbol
encoding to ANSI encoding. (I never tried. The demo
version cannot save into .ttf format.)

I tried to use another font called alphabet.ttf
(Created by  Austin Kurowski) to test the font
using and ran into the problem:
java.io.EOFException: Reached EOF, file size=24372
offset=87128

I loaded the font into Softy, set the mapping for
space to 32 (it was 32 originally) and saved the new
mapping. (Nothing really changed. Only the mapping was
regenerated.) Now TTFReader was able to read the font
file and create the metrics for the font and after
some configuration in userconfig.xml the font appeared
in the .pdf file.

That's all for now.

Cheers,
Attila

XSL-FO, embedded fonts

[Matthias Fischer]

Thanks for the really quick answer.
I was inprecise in my formulation: I want to render PDF with embedded fonts
using Cocoon 2, not with the FOP engine as a standalone. Therefore, I think
I have to proceed in some different way.

I'm sure there is an answer even to that...

Matthias

FOP, embedded fonts

[Matthias Fischer]

Ahm, if I recall right, the other day there was some mailing concerning FOP
and embedded fonts. Unfortunately I cancelled all relating mails, but I
would need the information now, and the archive seems not to be reachable at
present.

So, please take my apology - but would someone of you help me in telling me
once again (a) whether FOP does embed fonts, and if yes, how this has to be
acomplished.

Thanks in advance,

Matthias

[OFF-TOPIC] How to get Resolution out of JPG, TIFF, etc...

[Beer, Christian]

Hi List!

Sorry, that I ask this (fairly) off-topic question here!

I have to find a way to get the resolution (pixel / inch|mm)
out of files that support this info (JPG, TIFF, ...).

Do I have any chance using JIMI or JAI. Or is there another
simple way to do that??

Thanks

Re: FOP memory usage

[Keiron Liddle]

Hi,

If you want to help improve the memory usage in a future version of fop I
suggest you follow the current cvs developments. This will attempt to
address this issue along with a number of other issues.

As far as memory is concerned the ideas area:
- have the smallest set of variables and objects required to represent the
data
- keep the processing straight forward
- use and dispose of objects as soon as possible
- process output as soon as possible (ie pages)
- if objects need to be kept then make it possible to cache

Re: FOP extension functions

[Keiron Liddle]

Hi Joshua,

I believe that was broken temporarily in 0.20.1, try 0.20.2 it should work.

Currently that is the only extension that comes with fop. I am hoping that
in future we will have a broad range of examples for people to look at.

Keiron Liddle

Re: Anti-aliasing

[Keiron Liddle]

If the curves you are refereing to are normal svg curves without any
effects then they have been converted directly into pdf curves. This means
that are an exact represenation (within reason) of the svg curves. The
problem then is with acrobat check the preferences.

If your svg is creating a graphic which is embedded into the pdf then the
issue is different. You will need to work out how to make batik draw the
images at a higher resolution.
