Re: fo document as output

[Jeremias Maerki]

I'm not sure I understood everything. The FO is normally built using
XSLT. And if it's done right, there's really no need to save the FO to a
temporary file. Instead FOP can use SAX output events from the XSL
transformation as direct input. Where have you seen this?

So if you want to have an FO file, I suggest you look at JAXP 1.1 on how
to do XSL transformations. This has actually nothing to do with FOP.

We're still at the design stage, doing slow progress so it's hard to give set 
a release date.

The current release of jfor is V0.5.2 (experimental release: V0.5.3), which 
is independent of FOP. You can find it at www.jfor.org, it is stable and used 
in production at a number of sites despite of its limitations (many XSL-FO 
constructs are not supported yet). 

Feel free to test it, and yes, contributions are welcome (either for jfor 
itself or for the integration of jfor into FOP)!

RTF Rendering in FOP

[Nagendra Srikanth Addepalli]

Hi,
 I'am new to this list and would like to get some infomation on FO-Renderers
for RTF.
 From the FOP site and home page of jfor, i could get to know that RTF
renderer would be made part of FOP.
 Any idea when this would be out (basic implementation of RTF rendering in
FOP)? 
 Is there any version currently (for RTF rendereing in lines of FOP) in
progress so that we could develop/contribute to?

 Any other pointers to FO-Renderers for RTF generation would be of great
help.

thanks in advance,
Srikanth.

RE: Any real-life business use ?

[Savino, Matt C]

Our app is in live beta testing right now. We use FOP to generate printable
versions of a lab report and 5 canned mgmt. reports. (I've included a demo
copy of the lab report, just to show some of what FOP can do.) So far the
only limitations we've found are:

1) Memory. Fop runs out of memory on large reports (from 40+ pages), moreso
when several are being run concurrently. (It also happens more often on our
$20,000 HP-UX production machines vs. my PIII-NT4 dev box. I have all the
settings to HP recommendations. I don't think the HP-UX JVM, even with
Hotspot, is tuned very well for garbage collection.) I understand that they
way around this is to implement new page sequences every x pages or so. The
problem is some of our reports don't have natural page breaks, so I guess I
will have to insert some in odd places.

2) Table-header flexibility. We sometimes have a desire to alter the table
header for every instance after the first (like inserting the word
'Continued'). I'm gearing up to write a FOP extension to accomplish this.

3) Keep-with-next endless looping problem. Apparently this will be addressed
very soon.

4) Complex page numbering. We have a need to display a subsection page
number separately within the document. (IE - document page 4 of 9 is
subsection page 1 of 3.) Haven't figured out a way to do this. Maybe another
extension?

5) On the attached lab report, I can't figure out a way to get the table (or
it could be cell) border to extend to the bottom of the page. Note that the
report is broken into 4 sections, all of which can span multiple pages. Any
ideas on this one would be greatly appreciated. I posted a message about it
awhile back (subj: min table or table-cell height?) but no one got back to
me. Maybe the visual of the actual lab report will help.

All in all, we're very pleased with FOP. I know I surprised some people who
didn't think it was possible to work the voodoo of dynamic PDF generation
w/o shelling out for a $$$ product, and probably consultants on top of that.

thx,
Matt Savino

inserting unicode checkbox characters

[Kelly Fox]

I'm trying to add some Unicode check boxes to a PDF document created by FOP.
If I use ☐ or ☒ then only a pound sign (#) is printed where I
expect the check boxes to appear. I tried setting the XML encoding to UTF-16
in my XSL document, like this:

  

... but that gives me an error. Besides, I'm not even sure that's what I
need to do.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

fo document as output

[Luigi Savini]

How can i get in output a fo document?
 
I can see that for huge xml docs, fop creates a 
temporary fo file instead of saving it into memory.
I need to apply changes to sources to obtain that 
fo file as a result of the elaboration.
Does someone know in which part of the code this fo 
file is builded?
 
thx,

Re: PS printing

[Jeremias Maerki]

Now, I get it! Thanks. It seems as I suspected: The problems probably
come from the tables. If you are on Unix, try Acrobat Reader 4.05 on the
command-line ("-toPostScript" and friends) to generate PostScript from
PDF and print it via LPR. If you are on Windows, try the command-line
options of Acrobat Reader to directly print a PDF to a printer. Or you
can try GhostScript. Everything should be in the mailing list archives:

I am keeping an eye on FOP for a documentation project I'm working on.
However, it doesn't yet meet the needs of the project.

Project characteristics are delivery of a PDF version of a programming
manual. Software is a commerical API with some 400 functions. each
function has a "man" page to itself. There's also tutorial material
(estimated at 200 pages or so) plus man pages for internal data
structures. This is all marked up according to the DocBook DTD and (for
contractual reasons) will be processed using the associated style sheets
created by Norm Walsh. At the moment this is looking like we have to use
the DSSSL stylesheets to create an RTF intermediary file and then distill
from that.

Personally I'd rather use FOP than go via Distiller. The SVG capabilities
of FOP would be useful to have. Sadly the tests we've done show that 0.20
isn't ready for such a task, either in terms of resources or support for
the latest DocBook XSLT scripts. If the only problem were the time to
process the document then I could live with that; the production of the
PDF will only be undertaken every six months.

RE: PS printing

[Raúl Carazo]

Excuse me...

I'm using xsl with tables, stylesheet and an image. But what I can't see
is the data.

The PDF I generate is correct, but is not a file, but a data-flow to the
browser. I can see it and print it correctly (even if I want to save it, I
can. But this isn't the idea).

But if I change it for RENDER_PS and I make the file (or I send it to
the printer), I can't print it (the format is not correct), and if I
transform it in a PDF (with Acrobat Distiller), the image is correctly set
and some of the characters (lines, even an underline) are correct.

Where can I found the files for past e-mails?

And thank you very much!!

Re: PS printing

[Jeremias Maerki]

Raúl,

"...the PS file is not correct..." does not help me much to find out
what problems you have. My best guess is you're using tables and the
PostScript renderer is messing up the layout.

The PostScript renderer has worked for some people. But even I (who made
the PostScript renderer in the first place) am currently generating PDF
and converting it to PostScript using Adobe Acrobat Reader on Unix.
Others use GhostScript to convert PDF to PostScript. So it's probably
best if you did the same. I remember discussions on the mailing list
concerning direct printing of PostScript files. You might have to search
the archives.

InputStream and OutputStream use in FOP servlet

[Solange Desseignes]

Hi,

I use FOP to generate a PDF file from an XML file With a XSL/FO transformation.
The generation is made in a servlet.

Actually, I use the method described in the FOP Web site:
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
InputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile, xslFile);
XMLReader parser = inputHandler.getParser();
driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFile));
driver.render(parser, inputHandler.getInputSource());

But, I want to use InputStream instead of File for xslFile and xmlFile (to use in war 
in Tomcat).
And, I don't know how do this !

Moreover, I have fonts configuration.
For the same reason, I can't use:
userConfigFile = new File(userConfig);
options = new Options(userConfigFile);


Can anybody help me ???
Thanks.

I've been using FOP in Cocoon , and AFAIK, IE fails to understand that the
file is a PDF if it doesn't have a .pdf extension. IE is not to clean when
it comes to MIME type VS extensions. As a workaround you can also do IIRC
document?hackattr=dummyvalue.pdf  .
IE knows of this, and AFAIK it's not resolved in IE5.5 .

We are starting to figure out how to use it for printing technical manuals (8 manuals, totaling about 3000 pages, lots of JPG, webCGM, and SVG graphics) for our customers who still want paper (more than you'd think). We're just starting out and still fine tuning the style sheets converting from xml to xsl-fo and then to PDF.

Re: Any real-life business use ?

[jthaemlitz]

We're using FOP to generate our monthly billing statements.  We generate
70,000 statements+ a month in about a 4 hour period of time.  Statements
range from 1-10 pages.  We set up OMR marks for our print shop and OCR
fonts for the bank return slips.  One way we increased speed was to fire
the SAX events directly, instead of through a stylesheet.  This also gave
us a little more control over the content, whithout having to code FOP
extensions.

We sold it to our company in several ways.  It's verry low cost (donation
to apache.org), gave us control over look of statements and allowed our
billing question department to view the exact bill the client recieved.  It
also runs on AS/400's.

AW: FOP servlet use and SSL?

[Software AG]

Hi.

setContentType("Application/pdf") worked for me in http environment.
Perhaps test if you face a client or server bug by downloading a simple PDF
via the Webserver and HTTPS. If the client still asks for a password, I'd sa
it's a client bug. Maybe the acrobat viewer is considered unsafe as ActiveX?

This has nothing to do with FOP.

FOP servlet use and SSL?

[Matthew Case]

I'm working on a servlet that lets the user edit some fields and then 
generates a custom PDF on the fly to allow the user to preview their 
changes. All is fine and well but when I call
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" ), IE gives me a message box 
saying "this page has both secure and nonsecure items" or some crap like 
that. Pressing "No" to "View Nonsecure items?" still brings up my PDF. I got 
rid of the part that actually creates the PDF and stopped processing at the 
setContentType call. When the call was turned off the message box went away 
and when I turned it back on it came back, so I'm 99% sure it's that call 
that's doing it. Does anyone know why setting your contentType to 
"application/pdf" on a webpage being delivered via SSL would make IE 
complain about nonsecure items on the page? Even when there's nothing on the 
page and all I've done is set my contentType?

Hi,

This doesn't match anything. Anyhow, I'm still don't understand what the
problem is. In you stylesheet you don't seem to have anything that would
actually apply the templates SEC1 and SEC2 elements, so you should add
those. Also, when you have , you're also
processing the whitespace--you don't need it in you FO files, so don't
copy it.

This is also of interest to me, since I think it is a crucial point in 
any sizeable business application. Does someone know if this is being 
considered for a future version of XSL-FO?
How would this be handled in a generic fashion (since direct paper tray 
number controls are printer-dependent)? Through MediaTypes and Policies 
as in PostScript?

Re: Any real-life business use ?

[Patrick Andries]

Thank you very much to all that have answered, the messages as well as 
support one seems to get from the list are indeed encouraging.

I still have one general question and a specific one :


1) Volume and speed

I have written a small report: a  five-column table, a page footer 
(simple text), a page header with a largish colour logo. I embedded the 
FOP generation (XSLT + FOP) in a servlet using the supplied standard 
code (viz. using XSLTInputHandler as parser). I use Jboss 2.4.4 with 
Catalina. My development machine is a Pentium 700 Mhz machine with 254 
Meg of memory running Windows NT 2000 Professional. And I don't seem to 
get much more than 1-2 pages generated per second (even when the servlet 
has already been called). Is this also your experience?  I must say that 
I have attempted no optimisation. Any that you might suggest? How do 
handle load when several users are requesting reports simultaneously? 
Only accept patient users?


2) IE Bug

Alex Mc Lintock wrote that, due to a bug in IE, he had to save the whole 
PDF file on disk. I think I have seen this: is this when the PDF file is 
interpreted as text and displayed as gibberish in the main navigation 
window? Has this not been resolved in later versions of IE? Has the bug 
been reported to the MSIE team?

RE: Concat

Hi,
 
xsl-fo 
does not have a function which can be used to concatenate 
strings.
XSL-Transformation however has such a function (concat(...)) it takes an 
many arguments
as you 
like. I suppose your parameter is stored as an attribute of some 
element or as
element content in your xml input. You can use the following line to 
concatenate strings
 

  Is there a function like concat for Strings. 
  
   
      I have a param in the xml file

Hi!

We use FOP in a project for our customer. Our applications create letters 
and postcards. The count of pages differ from 1 to 5 pages. The speed is 
good. We only had a few problems in the beginning, because some points in
the XSL-spec are not or not good enough implemented.

I'm looking forward to see what the new design brings for fop (speed and 
functionality).

The only point is, that the image processing is not perfect. The dpi of
an image is not processed. But we found a workaround.

What kind of documents are they using it with ? What volume ? Embedding

[Tore Engvig]

> Hi

Not really, but I think I might have a workaround.

In the cvs version (the fop0.20.2 maintain version), it's possible to insert
eps images. The eps image is passed as is to postscript printers (thus eps
only works when printing to postscript printers and won't show when viewing
with Acrobat).

I guess you could create some postscript code with the proper DSC comments
(%%BoundingBox) and no drawing instructions.
If you add that image first thing in your documents headers, the image could
contain the instructions to change tray.

Re: Any real-life business use ?

[Louis . Masters]

We use it for generating shipping reports in our software and it has now
become our main reporting tool..  Volume can be from several to several
hundred report requests per day.  Page counts are usually in the double
digits, but can get into the triple digits depending on the client using
our software.  No sevlets here (yet) and we are still coping with the speed
issues.  Justification was that it worked and did not lock us into a
proprietary format.

I have a client who is happily using Fop to produce pretty printable versions
of web tables (lots of financial figures) and charts. They are a very demanding
user and wouldn't accept the system if it didn't do what they wanted.

Tables of Figures and graphical charts.
Low volume indeed (but very powerful machines)
Embedded in servlets but due to IE bugs we sometimes had to save the whole pdf to disk
and then redirect the browser to the saved pdf file. This is *bad* for a high volume 
site.
The speed is acceptible. Most of the time we actually email the pdf to the user so 
speed is not an issue.
My contact in the client company didn't need to specify what tools he used to his 
superior:
he just needed to produce good printouts from the website.

The SVG is something that gets a DOM tree and creates an area.
So look at how svg is done for reading your DOM tree.

Everything that appears on your page is in an area, text, lines, images, 
svg etc.
The process is like so (I'm sure this information is available somewhere) :
- sax events create an FO tree
- the fo tree is layed out into an area tree
- the area tree is rendered to the output

So when the sax events are creating an fo tree you will want to also be 
create an FObj (this is a class in the fo tree).
When the fo tree is being layed out your fo object will also be layed out. 
To get anything in the output it will need to create an area.

DOM Source? what is that?

Re: Any real-life business use ?

[Enrico Schnepel]

Hello Patrick,

We are using a patched FOP (0.20.2) for a credit system in a bank. The speed 
is fine since we have a server where speed does not matter (Solaris 8 with 
SUN Jdk).
we are printing about 1000 documents per day. Most of them have 1-2 pages. 
Some up to 20.
Currently we are developing a report generator with FOP. The Reports will 
have up to 1000 pages.

Input format: .fo with special tags for pre processing and data insertion
Output format : PDF
Clients for printing (Acrobat Reader): WinNT, Win2000, Win95, OS/2; AR: 3.0 
(OS/2), 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 in almost any combination.

Our Customers are satisfied with our printing solution because the old one we 
have replaced was using ms word with embedded macros... (OK - it's not realy 
a printing 'solution'..., but it had done its job exept with OS/2 (Word Pro) 
or Word 2000)

Some comments to FOP:

1. Fop does sometimes hang in an endless loop with entities like & < 
and > (these are the only entities we are using; Lang: de, encoding ansi) 
if the first word of the line is too long for the whole line in a small table 
cell. - thats why we have patched FOP - but it's more a workaround than a 
patch and does not resolve the problem. If someone want to get the patch I 
will send it.

2. Fop sometimes switches the lines up and down with entities or inline 
sequences.

Regards,

Enrico Schnepel

Hi, can you send me this class?
I modify some classes from fop to implement dpi, and it works, but it's not
too "clearly".

Thanks

Hi!

We use FOP in a project for our customer. Our applications create letters 
and postcards. The count of pages differ from 1 to 5 pages. The speed is 
good. We only had a few problems in the beginning, because some points in
the XSL-spec are not or not good enough implemented.

I'm looking forward to see what the new design brings for fop (speed and

The only point is, that the image processing is not perfect. The dpi of
an image is not processed. But we found a workaround.

AW: FOP Extensions

[Software AG]

Hi.

Having downloaded fop 0.20.2-bin and -src, I had read the documentation
about extensions. There is says to add my own extension, I better had a look
at the source in org.apache.fop.extension.  Unfortunately the only
documented class is ExtensionObj, stating to be "base class for extension
objects".
This is why I had to ask the list.

What I have is code that can render data from a DOM tree and gives me a
java.awt.Image, which I can then use in applications or convert to GIF
images. Now I want to reuse that code within FOP. I assume in your words
this means I want an area in the output, but I really do not know what an
area actually is. For me it sounds more like graphics, but I do not want to
use SVG since I'd have to recode what is already there.

So if I choose 1 (see below), I need to do "a similar sort of thing to all
other fo objects". Does this mean I have to extend Area or FObj?

For my understanding, I have to extend ExtensionObj, which also is an FObj
and override the layout(Area) method. But then I do not know how to insert
the image into the Area (do I have to extend that also?) and how to retrieve
the DOM source (maybe that is done via the PropertyLists?).

Hello everyone,

I have busy evaluated the FO technology and I would like to hear from 
people that are using it for real-life business needs.

What kind of documents are they using it with ? What volume ? Embedding 
it in servlets ? How do they cope with the "speed" ? How do they justify 
using FO to their bosses ?

Anybody with both 3B2 and FO  or Compuset and FO experience ? I would

Other projects usually have at least a list of the committers and often a 
list of contributors. This is something that could be added to the 
website. The xml.apache.org site redesign may have this (read the general 
list for more info) as a standard part.
Some info is in the STATUS file but it is out of date.
Are you volunteering to put the information together?

Since I am going to be away for a while after today I will give a

All in all, we're making good experience in using FOP+Cocoon2 for the
production of technical documentation. Speed is no problem, even with many
images, but requires certain precautions.

Cocoon2 is not always at the hight of FOP, documentation on FOP is
insufficient.

We haven't succeeded yet in embedding fonts (FOP description seems not to
work) and Unicode.

   We use FOP in commercial projects, e.g. for generating documents for 
life insurance (proposals, policies, change requests, claims, payment 
orders, ...) in front-end application (servlet based).

   We integrated (a little patched) FOP into HyperQbs 
(http://www.hyperqbs.org) as an alternative parser and we use it that way.

   We (and our clients too) are satisfied with quality of documents 
generated by FOP except of problems with "keep-with-next" attribute 
which is not implemented correctly yet. This is the only complaint we have.


   Best regards,

J.Ch.

All in all, we're making good experience in using FOP+Cocoon2 for the
production of technical documentation. Speed is no problem, even with many
images, but requires certain precautions.

Cocoon2 is not always at the hight of FOP, documentation on FOP is
insufficient.

We haven't succeeded yet in embedding fonts (FOP description seems not to
work) and Unicode.

Hello everyone,

I have busy evaluated the FO technology and I would like to hear from
people that are using it for real-life business needs.

What kind of documents are they using it with ? What volume ? Embedding
it in servlets ? How do they cope with the "speed" ? How do they justify
using FO to their bosses ?

Anybody with both 3B2 and FO  or Compuset and FO experience ? I would
love to hear your story.


Patrick Andries

Re: Any real-life business use ?

[José María Pérez Villadeamigo]

Hello

I´m using fop in a real java application. This application manages customer
orders, invoices, articles and stock, to help the user in his shoes
fabrication bussines. All the reports (invoices, orders, fabrication order
and many list reports) are made using fop. The length of this report goes
from 1 to 30 pages ~.

All the report formats are pdf. The application generate XML files and my
report system passes this xml file and a xsl file throw fop. The speed is
good and also the final result for the user (my "bosses"). They use these
reports in their real bussines (invoice, order, etc).

Bye.
José Mª
