[Understanding] Area Tree [8]
Area Tree - The Area Tree is an internal representation of the result document. This is a set of java classes that can put together a set of objects that represent the pages and their contents. This information is created by the layout managers and is rendered to the output using a renderer. The Area Tree follows the description of the area tree in the XSL:FO specification. The Area Tree consists of a set of pages, the actual implemenation places these in a set of page sequences. Pages - A page consists of a page+viewport pair. The PageViewPort and Page with the regions is created by the LayoutMasterSet. The contents are then placed by the layout managers. Once the layout of a page is complete then it is added to the Area Tree. Inside the page is a set of RegionViewport+Region pairs for each region on the page. Blocks -- Block level areas contain either other blocks or line areas (which is a special block area). A block is either positoned or stacked with other block areas. Inline Areas Inline areas are stacked in a line area. Inline areas are objects such as character, viewport, inline-container, leader and space. A special inline area Word is also used for a group of consecutive characters. The image and instream foreign object areas are placed inside a viewport. The leader (with use content) and unresolved page number areas are resolved to other inline areas. Once a LineArea is filled with inline areas then the inline areas need to be aligned and adjusted to fill the line properly. Traits -- A trait is information associated with an area. This could be information such as text colour or is-first. Traits provide information about an area. The traits are derived from properties on the formatting object or are generated during the layout process. Many of the layout traits do not have actual values but can be derived from the Area Tree. Other traits that apply when rendering the areas are set on the area. Since setting the same value on every area would use a lot of memory then the traits are derived from default or parent values. A dominant trait on a block area is set, for example font colour, so that every line area with the same dominant value can derive it. The text inline areas then get the font colour set on the inline area or from the line area or from the block area. Forward References -- The Area Tree maintains a set of mappings from the reference to pages. The PageViewPort holds the list of forward references that need resolving so that if a references is resolved during layout the page can be easily found and then fixed. Once all the forward references are resolved then the page is ready to be rendered. To layout a page any areas that cannot be resolved need to reserve space. Once the inline area is resolved then the complete line should be adjusted to accomodate any change in space used by the area. Caching --- We may need to cache pages due to forward references or when keeping all pages. This is done by serializing the Page. The PageViewport is retained to be used as a key for page references and backward references. The Page is serialized to an object stream and then all of the page contents are released. The Page is then recoved by reading from the object stream. The PageViewport retains information about id areas for easy access. Extensions -- The Area Tree holds the Output Document extensions. This is information such as pdf bookmarks or other output document specific information that is not handled by XSL:FO. It is also possible to create custom areas that extend a normal area. The actual data that is rendered could be set in a different way or depend on resolving a forward reference. Area Tree Handlers -- To handle different situations the handler for the Area Tree handles each page as it is added. The RenderPagesModel sends the page directly to the renderer if the page is ready to be rendered. Once a page is rendered it is discarded. The StorePagesModel stores all the pages so that any page can be later accessed. The Area Tree retains the concept of page sequences (this is not in the area tree in the spec) so that this information can be passed to the renderer. This is useful for setting the title and organising the groups of page sequences. Associated Tasks Sort out extensions concept, access to AreaTree. Sort out trait handling.

Extended Fonts
Hi all, I have another question about using extended fonts. I've got a font called HKSCS.tte (This is developed by Hong Kong Government which supplement with another fonts mingliu.ttc). I've got no problem if I only display the big5 characters using mingliu.ttc. However, if some fonts are using HKSCS standard, these characters will disappear in pdf file. Does FOP support this type of supplementary fonts now? For more details about HKSCS standard, please go to visit : http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/eng/hkscs/introduction.html . Thanks you very much!

Fop Hanging in Cocoon
Hi folks, Sorry for asking this here and not just on the Cocoon list but... I have a simple website in xml which is getting converted to html by cocoon 2.0rc2. Cocoon also generates fo (in memory) and uses a slightly old version of FOP to generate the PDF. At least that is the idea. The PDF seems to sometimes work the first time, and then takes minutes to work if ever. There is no evidence of a busy computer - the CPU is quiet at 2% activity. (whatever that means - I'm using NT4). If on the other hand I just generate the fo files (which takes under a second each) I can then use FOP on the command line to generate all the PDFs in seconds.. (Using FOP 20.2 - unfortunately slightly later than the one in Cocoon). Does anyone have any further ideas on what may be going wrong? I realise this may not be a fault directly with Fop but please bear with me.

[Understanding] Renderers [9]
Renderers - A renderer is used to convert the Area Tree into the output document. The renderer is given the tree one page at a time. All pages are supplied in the order they appear in the document. In order to save memory it is possble to render the pages out of order. Any page that is not reeady to be rendered is setup by the renderer first so that it can reserve a space or reference for when the page is ready to be rendered. The AbstractRenderer does most of the work to iterate through the area tree parts. This means that the most renderers simply need to implement the specific parts with inserting text, images and lines. The methods can easily be overridden to handle things in a different way or do some extra processing. Fonts - The fonts are setup by the renderer being used. The font metrics are used during the layout process to determine the size of characters. Render Context -- The render context is used by handlers. It contains information about the current state of the renderer. Such as the page, the position and any other miscellanous objects that are required to draw into the page. XML Handling A document may contain information in the form of XML for an image or instream foreign object. This XML is handled through the user agent. A standard extension for PDF is the SVG handler. If there is XML in the SVG namespace it is given to the handler which renders the SVG into the pdf document at the given location. This separation means that other XML handlers can easily be added. Extensions -- Document level extensions are handled with an extension handler. This handles the information from the AreaTree and adds renders it to the document. An example is the pdf bookmarks. This information first needs to have all references resolved. Then the extension handler is ready to put the information into the pdf document. Types - PDF This uses the PDFDocument classes to create a PDF document. This supports out of order rendering as it is possible to reserve a pdf page object that can be later filled. Most of the work is to insert text or create lines. SVG is handled by the XML handler that uses the PDFGraphics2D and batik to draw the svg into the pdf page. This also allows for font embedding. SVG This creates a single svg document that contains all the pages rendered with page sequences horizontally and pages vertically. This also adds links between the pages so that it can be viewed by clicking on the page to go to the next page. TXT This simply outputs to a text document. AWT This draws the pages into an AWT graphic. PS PCL Similar to PDF. XML Creates an XML file that represents the AreaTree. Print This prints the document using the java printing facitlities. The AWT rendering is used to draw the pages onto the printjob. RTF MIF These formats do not use this rendering mechanism. Adding a Renderer - It is also possible to add other renderers. The renderer simply needs to implement the Renderer interface. The AbstractRenderer does most of what is needed so it is better to extend this. This means that you only need to implement the basic functionality such as text and lines. Multiple Renderers -- The layout of the document depends mainly on the font being used. If two renderers have the same font metrics then it is possible to render the Area Tree in each renderer. This can be handled by the AreaTree Handler. Associated Tasks Sort out multiple renderers concept. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

volunteer - Image Handling
Hi All, Now that there is a minimal implemenation that inserts images into the pdf document. Also batik is no longer required on the classpath. I am hoping someone could volunteer to do some work on the image handling. You will probably need access to Photoshop or some other tool. We need an fo document with all common types of images (eg. jpg, png, gif, svg, eps, tiff). So that we can demonstrate which image formats are supported. Other simple tests such as invalid or corrupt images, different dpi values. Also we need to check the code to make sure it is thread safe and handles all the streams properly. If you are feeling adventurous you could try to implement the image area in terms of size, alignment etc. This is a self contained part that does not usually depend on the layout. Thanks for any help. Keiron. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: HowTo Render PDF from XML string and XSL file
I have spent some time looking at the embedding sample, and I have some
questions. I have successfully implemented FOP as a WebService having the
XSL-FO data posted to the service and the service rendering the file onto
the local machine. Now I want to do the XML/XSL to XSL-FO
transform in the
WebService.
I noticed that the transform occurs in the XSLInputHandler. This then
allows for an InputSource and XMLReader to be available to the
Driver.render() overloaded method. The unfortunate part is the
XSLInputHandler constructor only takes File object, no stream.
I'd like to
avoid bouncing the XML data off the disk just to statisfy this requirement
for using XSLInputHandler.
So, my question is this, how can I arrive at the same results, an
InputSource and an XMLReader interfaced object for Driver.render()? Or
better yet, what I'm asking is what is going on inside
XSLInputHandler that
I can slurp out into my code. Tx :)

Re: Acrobat 5.0 Error
Do your documents employ any encryption? Also, why
aren't you opening the new window with the url to the servlet in the first
place?
Also, I'm confused as to the use of the cookie (personnaly,
i'm fond of cookie monster myself). I can see that you are "serving" the
pdf from within the servlet. Try, just for kicks, saving it to disk, and
then sending down that Jscript. If anything, I'd be curious to see what
happens.

Subject: RE: Acrobat 5.0 Error
David,
Thank you for the
advice. We are handling
thePDFsa little
differently, however, and are running on
Apache.
In the JSP file that displayscontent in the browser, we have the following
link withina form
nameddocumentmanagementsearchnavigation:
a href="#"
img
src="javascript:void(0);" width="29" height="60" border="0" alt="Print
Unprinted Approved Documents in the list."/a
Here
is the batchPrintDocument functionin thejavascript
file:
function batchPrintDocument( form
) { var option =
"HEIGHT=400,WIDTH=700,scrollbars=1,status=1,menubar=1";
newWindow = window.open("BatchPrint.html", "BatchPrintDocumentWindow",
option); result =
getCookieData(); if (result ==
"") {
result = 0; document.cookie = "app=" +
result; }
else {
result = parseInt(result) + 1;
document.cookie = "app=" + result;
} var source =
"Servlet?actiontotake=batchprintdocument.pdfcookie="+result;
newWindow.location = source;
newWindow.focus();
return false;
}
We
define the batchprintdocument.pdf action in the Servlet. The batch
function in the servletactually builds one large document that consists
of many smaller documents. For instance, a user can print one individual
report or click on the batch print icon to print all of the reports. She
is able to print one doc OK, but receives the error when printing batch
printing all documents even when there is only 1 or 2 docs to be batch
printed.
This
featureis working well, except onher computer. We suspect it
is her configuration.
Thanks
again!!

How is the PDF being served to the user? Is it
coming from an ASP page and being Response.BinaryWrite'ed? The best
work around that I'm using for this problem is this:
I persist the file on the server, then send this to the
browser:
htmlhead
script language="javascript"
!--
window.location.href='%=path%'
//--
/script
/headbody/body/html
This way, IE will go fetch the file itself. If you
are using IIS, save the docs in their own folder, then go into the IIS
setting, and enable content expiration (it's on the HTTP Headers tab) just
for that folder and set it to expire immediately. If you don't do
this, IE will keep pulling the PDF from it's cache if you re-use
filenames.

we are able to view the same documents in Acrobat 5.0 with no
problem.
At this time, I think it is a problem on
the user'sPC. I am
hoping someone has seen this type of problem before. I am able to
see that, on my computer, the PDF starts with :%PDF. Why is
her Acrobat interpreting it differently?
Thanks!
Rachael
P.S. I
also had her try the option toNOT view it in the browser. I
had no success with this
either.
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Fop 0.20.3 released
I notice the timestamp on the files is 3/4. Is that right, because that means I already have code made fresh daily. -- David B.

Hi all, just in case someone hasn't noticed yet ;-) FOP 0.20.3 is finally available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/fop for downloading. The main reason for this release is the conformance to the XSL-FO Version 1.0 W3C Recommendation. Other changes include: - support for CMYK and embedded ICC profiles in jpeg images - support for EPS images - improved font encodings for native (Acrobat) fonts - i18n improvments for AWT viewer - support for letter-spacing - Polish, Greek, and Hungarian hyphenation - and of course a lot of bugfixes... Changes from previous Release Candidate (rc2): - added missing japanese resource for AWT viewer - fixed Markers - updated logkit from 1.0b4 to 1.0 Enjoy, Christian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Acrobat 5.0 Error
I can't really tell from this example, but I know I ran into an issue where I was trying to use a JSP page to generate either PDF or HTML. I finally realized I was getting an error when the output was PDF which was due to whitespace between the %% tags. The JSP engine compiles whitespace as System.out.println( ), which naturally doesn't agree with the byte array output stream Acrobat is expecting. I quickly switched back to a servlet. -Matt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Using Avalon/Logkit
Guys, I've just encountered this issue, so apologies for barging in late.. Jeremias Maerki wrote: Joerg Pietschmann wrote: In order to clarify issues: I have to use FOP in an environment which already provides logging, configuration management and life cycle management. I don't want to look into another log file. I don't want to write more config files. I'm in the exact same boat here. We'd like to embed FOP but the configuration, management and logging environment we already have is more than sufficient without using another on top. It is a requirement of the project I'm on that all configuration is done via the central configuration mechanism, and all logging is to the project's logger. There's zero chance of using Avalon instead, and if we need to write translation layers between Avalon and what we already have, then embedding FOP will fall into the too hard basket, and we'll need to use somthing else. I'd dearly like to avoid having this happen. I don't want to prevent anyone from providing a FOP embedding using logkit and avalon. I *want* however access to a core which doesn't rely on yet another toolkit for common functionality Ditto. Ok, I think that can be done, even when using Avalon in FOP. You propose (I think) that we could provide an Avalon-Wrapper around FOP, but it could also be the other way around. I'm sure that Avalon will not stand in the way if we provide a simple interface similar to what you proposed. I'm not sure what you mean here, when you say it could be the other way around. Personally, I'd suggest having core FOP logging services taken care of by something akin to org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler. This mechanism works quite nicely. FOP could provide a default implementation which uses Logkit/Avalon and embedders could provide their own. Also, I'm prepared to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. If people are happy with this approach, I'll gladly implement it over the next few days. I hope this conveys how important I think this issue is. What does everyone say?

AW: PDF - FO (slightly off topic)
Apologies for the slightly off-topic mail - but does anyone know of an easy way to convert PDF docs to XSL-FO ? I don't think there is any way to do this, especialy no easy way! PDF does not contain any structural information, like XSL-FO does. So that would have to be constructed. But the output would not be very good, I think.
