Please help with params - please help

[Dudley . Butt]

Ok guys, what i really need help with is sending params thru to my XSL
sheet, basically, it would be great if someone could please help me with how
to use params in XSLT.
What i need is some external data to be written on a PDF page, basically a
fax cover sheet. The process just before the XSL transform has 2 bits of
data that I need to print on the sheet. How can I get it so that I can
retrieve them and print the data?

Thanx

RE: Please help with params - please help

[Michiel Verhoef]

Hi,

If you use Xalan as XSLT processor you might use the -param switch to 
do what you want.

-PARAM name value (Set a stylesheet parameter)

As far as I know you need to use  for the entire stylesheet,
just like you would when passing parameters to templates.

Michiel

I have a table with 4 columns. One of the cells has text in it that is
bigger than the size of the column and the text is over-writing the text in
the following cell. How do I stop this? I have this:










This is some text in cell 1 that
will over-write the text in cell 2.




This is some text in cell 2.




This is some text in cell 3.




This is some text in cell 4.

[Cyril Rognon]

Hello,

I have already posted a message about memory issue but it went unseen.

My problem is : I have 50-500 pages document to generate. Fop handles this 
perfectly and fastly (1200 ms / page average).

I just have one draw back : I need to provide much memory to FOP.

I have managed to have no more than 20 pages in each page sequences and yet 
need more than 128 Mo  for a 81 pages document.

I wloud like to know if someone can help or tell me where to look to 
downsize my memory requierments. If I succeed, Fop will be heavily used in 
a production environnement.

Thanks

Cyril

[Rikhil Jain]

Hi * 
,
 
When I 
try to put content which has higher length compare to the cell of a particular 
column of the table
then 
it extends to the next column if I used "wrap-option=no-wrap" attribute 
.
But it 
will work fine if I used  "wrap-option=wrap" attribute 
.
 
My 
objective in first case is that rest of data should be lost, not to extend in 
next column .
 
Please 
tell whether it is possible or not in FOP .
 
Thanks 
in advance

Check whether your font has a glyph for the mentioned characters.
At least the ｣ etc. seem to be fairly unusual ("ASCII variants,
full width"). The double ‡ (double dagger) shouldn't have
a problem with a proper Unicode font. I think none of the characters
will work with the any of the default fonts.

RE: help!!!

[Rhett Aultman]

Rewriting FOP in C++ is not impossible, though it may be quite difficult.  I'm really 
not sure what the rest of your questions are, but I'd say it's going to take you quite 
a while to complete a project like that, and if your boss is telling you and you alone 
to rewrite FOP in C++, and you are only 22 with only one year of programming 
experience, there is either a labor shortage in your office or your boss' project 
management skills aren't stellar.

What you might want to consider is showing your boss ways you can integrate FOP in its 
current implementation without rewriting it in C++.  For example, if you're performing 
PDF generation with FOP from a C++ program, just write your source data to a file, 
fork a process that runs FOP on that file, and then read the resulting file in.  Maybe 
it's not as elegant as having a pure C++ solution (though I find nothing about C++ 
elegant), but it will work with fewer bugs, and whereas it'll take you a long time to 
rewrite FOP in C++, this method would take you less than a day to implement.

FOP help please...

[Charlie Wu]

 <>  <> 

Hi there:
 
I downloaded the latest FOP from xml.apache.org and was trying to run
some simple tests from the commandline.. The documentation says you
should just run:
 
FOP fo_inputfile pdf_outputfile (see
http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html
<http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html> )
 
but I can't find a FOP.exe or FOP unix binary anywhere.. and since this
is java I suspect there isn't any FOP anywhere anyway.. so I searched
google.com and looked for commandline examples and found many references
to calling org.apache.fop.apps.CommandLine - but then when I checked
this against the fop.jar there's NO CLASS with that name!! I couuld only
find Command, CommandLineStarter, and CommandLineOptions.. 
 
So what gives 
 
Can someone please help me out???
 
Thanks
 
Charlie

Hi xi,

I recommend that you use fop 0.20.1 instead of 0.17.
The procedure for adding fonts changed significantly between version 0.17
and version 0.18. Adding fonts in version 0.17 is not straightforward,
it's a lot easier from version 0.18. There has also been a lot of bugfixes
for fonts after version 0.17, so I would really recommend to use the
latest version.

Re: please help!!!

[Karen Lease]

Hi Eric,

Sorry if no one has answered your plea before now.
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) I don't have any problem with
the example you sent. I'm using the latest CVS, but if you are using an
earlier version of FOP, you probably should try with the latest release
which is 0.20.1.

I've attached the PDF I generated, using a simple A4 size page master. I
assume this is the result you want?

It's true that the overflow property isn't implemented yet in FOP, but
Yyou shouldn't need to use it here, since the text is just wrapping
normally in the table cell. Overflow is really meant for flow objects
which won't fit at all on the page and should be clipped. An example
would be a large graphic.

FopServlet error help!

[Kilmer, Erich]

I am trying to run a FopServlet and I get this exception in my browser when
I try to render the .FO file:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is required in a well-formed
document
I know you think its the .FO file but I even get it when I run the readme.fo
that comes with FOP through it.
Here is what the code looks like:
FileInputStream foFile = new
FileInputStream(request.getParameter(FO_REQUEST_PARAM));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Driver driver = new Driver(foFile, out);
driver.run();
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();

Is there some Driver setting I should be doing?
TIA,

Erich Kilmer
Bell+Howell

PS: My .fo file starts out like this:


http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>




I can send the entire file if someone wants to look at it.

Help with Driver

[John H. Wyman]

Title: Message




In July I developed an application based on the then current .19 and used 
both TransformerFactory (since I have many parameters to pass. I then used 
..snip
transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.buildFOTree((Document) result.getNode());
driver.format();
driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(args[1]+".pdf"));
driver.render();
It now appears as if buildFoTree, Format and render have changed. Is there a 
simple way to fix my code ? I took a quick look at the documentation and didn't 
see it.

HELP - PASSING PARAMETER

[Semprini Davide]

Hi at all,

I have two important question:

1) I have a jsp page that call a java function of my external class.
I pass at this object dynamic xml and stylesheet xsl
and then I have to pass some parameter at my stylesheet
that are stored in HttpSession object.
If I use XSLTransform from fop there isn't
a possibility passing parameter! Is this True??
I have utilized instead of it the class: javax.xml.transform.Transformer
With this class I can pass parameter to stylesheet and perform the 
transformation
getting out InputSource that I pass at Driver.

2) When the render process end in my JSP
return ByteArrayOutputStream that I convert
setting the contentType:

1) response.setContentType("application/pdf");
2) ByteArrayOutputStream ris_pdf = ((XMLTransform) 
request.getAttribute("XMLTransform")).processXML_PDF(abs_path, 
(ParamXSL[]) request.getAttribute("ParamXSL"), formato);
  
 
   3) byte[] content = ris_pdf.toByteArray();
4) response.setContentLength(content.length);
5) response.getOutputStream().write(content);
6) response.getOutputStream().flush(); 

At this point appear the browser form that call
me If I want to save or open the result
why if I have set the content type?? and If I choose
acrobat I can view the PDF File!

(I use Struts and the file my output file is called ListaFacolta.do)

Re: need help

[Ed Howland]

I have the same problem but I could not easily change the XSLT to generate
different page sequences. (The data is tables from a DB that go into a report.)
However, since the PDFs are to be viewed only online, I split the input (with
position()) and generate multiple page sets. That way no one PDF stream is more
than a few hundred kilobytes over a 56k connection.

In researching this, I found the "Driver.setBufferFile(File buf)" method. I've
set this, but it doesn't seem to work. There are no Javadocs on it. I've looked
at the code but I don't think its being actively called by the renderer.

Does anybody know the intent and design of this function? Do any developers
know if it will be implemented soon?

FOP is great, but it requires way too much kid gloving when it comes to
performance and memory utilization. I read a note a while back (2000 I think)
that someone said they were trying to achieve 100% conformance with the spec
before they addressed these issues. I might agree with that, but few web
browsers were 100% compliant with W3C standards before they were used daily by
10s of millions of users. FOP is in a good enough state to be useful in
production environments. Isn't it time to address the scalability aspects of
FOP to meet those needs?

I suggest that "out of the box" FOP needs to manage its own resources much
better. XSLT is already a drain.

This was not a full or solid solution and was disabled due to problems.

While that is true there are certain things you need to realise.
- there are serious layout issues that need to be addressed
- performance and memory is very much tied up to how the whole system 
works, this makes it difficult to fix
- getting FOP to a stage where there is a clear development direction is 
difficult
- none of this will happen by itself

It appears that more effort needs to be put towards communicating the 
issues involved and the way in which FOP can be improved.

Yes it does need to be much better.

The best way to do this is by using a smaller page region.

I don't remember the exact instructions, but if you look through the message
archive you will see this explained in detail.

Hello,

I have already posted a message about memory issue but it went unseen.

My problem is : I have 50-500 pages document to generate. Fop handles this 
perfectly and fastly (1200 ms / page average).

I just have one draw back : I need to provide much memory to FOP.

I have managed to have no more than 20 pages in each page sequences and yet 
need more than 128 Mo  for a 81 pages document.

I wloud like to know if someone can help or tell me where to look to 
downsize my memory requierments. If I succeed, Fop will be heavily used in 
a production environnement.

Thanks

Cyril

Are there any discussions on how to reorganize fop on a more scalable
framework?
Maybe going to SAX or other internal representations?
Sorry for the questions, I'm not able to check the list arcives right now.

Right.

What are the plans for FOP.
Are the releases giong to be so slowly incremental?
I'm really in the need of enhancements on the performance side and I don't
know where to start.
I also needed something that could render fo dynamically but FOP is not made
for this...
How can I help regarding these issues?

Re: need help

[Cyril Rognon]

Keiron,

Maybe Ed went a little too far about this.

of course I do not request immediate magical memory solution that would 
enable me to generate my pdf on a cell phone :)

I have read in this list that some people have 200+ pages documents with 
low memory footprint (around 20-50 Mo). I just want to know if someone 
could give me any hints of achieving a nice FOP generation within 128 Mo 
knowing that I am using page sequences under 15 pages.


Thanks in advance.


As for me, the speed of FOP is not an issue. The memory would not be an 
issue if I had not a physical limit of 128Mo for now (too many units involved).

Yes there have been.
This is important information that needs to be more accessible.
Briefly the idea is to keep information minimal and use/dispose of any 
data as soon as possible, failing that a simple caching mechanism will be 
available.

I think first you need to understand what is goind on. So we need to 
provide information:
- what the plans and issues are
- what is currently being done

I will be working on this!

Then should have a better idea and you can then ask more specific 
questions.

For now getting a general idea of the code might help you get started.

Re: need help

[Cyril Rognon]

Keiron,

I would gladly share this info in order to contribute to FOP.

here is the last transcript from FOP :
[DEBUG]: Initial heap size: 1828Kb
[DEBUG]: Current heap size: 127392Kb
[DEBUG]: Total memory used: 125564Kb
[DEBUG]:   Memory use is indicative; no GC was performed
[DEBUG]:   These figures should not be used comparatively
[DEBUG]: Total time used: 67054ms
[DEBUG]: Pages rendererd: 85
[DEBUG]: Avg render time: 788ms/page

As everyone see, speed is ok, but memory ? I thought Fop would dispose of 
all the objects inside a page sequence when it's done.
I have tested the following : adding some content to generate more page 
sequences and fop did you more memory. so there might be a leak somewhere.

anyway, I would gladly participate in whatever plan ther is to improve this 
great FO processor.

Thanks

Cyril

Anyone can help ?

[Nick Winger]

hi !


i have three questions using fop  ( with tables ):

1. i want to generate a pdf dynamically using java. now first i write a
dynamically fo file (formatted objects):

on the pages there is always a text ( form start to the middle of the
page) and below ( the other half os the page)
an image:
now when i write the text in java:
how can i recognize when i reach the half of the page ?
should i divide the half page points with the font-height and count the
rows ?


2. is it possible to have two different font-sizes in one column of a table
?


3. can i turn the bottom cell line (border) of a cell off ?

I don't think that FOP can do this. Would you get what you wanted if
you put the image in a footer. I doubt that counting the rows is the
way to go.

Yes.

Help with Forrest

[Peter B. West]

I have been able to eliminate the need for frames in my documantation by 
getting dynamic inline frames to work in NS7.0, Mozilla 1.2.1 and IE6. 
This requires that a javascript file be included in each of the affected 
files.  I need some advice on how best to get this to work with Forrest. 
 Do I need to include some form of redundant lining to the htmlized 
code files?  Can I otherwise express such files (with javascript: links) 
in XML?  Does anyone know how I can get JavaSRc that Nicola mentioned.

I would like to clean up the documentation as much as possible.

I believe that you need to establish two sequences of master pages,
and use one (which has the footer) on the first page, and the
other for the remainder.

This might be an FAQ. You can certinly find helpful info

So you have tested FOP with Chinese words and found some problems. 

FOP is at its very early stages of development. We have a version which works
for most people - but very few of us speak or write Chinese (possibly none!)
Your help would be most welcome in explaining the problems you are seeing 
with Chinese fop, and helping to test it too.

Please subscribe to the fop-dev mailing list so we can continue this discussion

Help about font ZapfDingbats

Hello.
I am very angry with the FOP processor.
In the FOP (0.18) examples there is a file "fonts.fo" that use
ZapfDingbats font.
If I transform with the fop.bat command line in a pdf file I can see the
ZapfDingbats well.
If I use the same xsl-fo instructions in my xsl file and use it for
transform a xml file into pdf the fop processor 
give me an error : "unknow font ZafDingbats" ,in the same
machine in the same environment.
The xsl-fo instruction tha I use is

In that way I got a character of the default font-family.

Please help me.
I attached the fonts.fo examples.

Newbie attempting to help

Hi-

Well, I am trying to make my first contribution to
FOP. By working on bug 2988 which I submitted.  I
willingly accept any and all help.

I tried forcing the status return from
ListItemLabel.layout to keep-with-next in an attempt
to force other code to handle keeping the
list-item-label and list-item-body together. That
didn't work, but keep-with-next is broken anyways, so
that is probably not  unexpected.  My thought right
now is to change 
the end of ListItemLabel.layout to:

if(status == Status.OK) {
   status = new Status(Status.KEEP_WITH_NEXT);
}
return status;

At least temporally, until I figure how to get FOP to
obey the keep_with_next when there is an
external-graphics as the first element in the
list-item-body. 

Anything wrong with that?  Any pointers in the right
direction?

FW: FOP help please...

[Charlie Wu]

 <>  <> 


Hi there:
 
I downloaded the latest FOP from xml.apache.org and was trying to run
some simple tests from the commandline.. The documentation says you
should just run:
 
FOP fo_inputfile pdf_outputfile (see
http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html
<http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html> )
 
but I can't find a FOP.exe or FOP unix binary anywhere.. and since this
is java I suspect there isn't any FOP anywhere anyway.. so I searched
google.com and looked for commandline examples and found many references
to calling org.apache.fop.apps.CommandLine - but then when I checked
this against the fop.jar there's NO CLASS with that name!! I couuld only
find Command, CommandLineStarter, and CommandLineOptions.. 
 
So what gives 
 
Can someone please help me out???
 
Thanks

Try:
java -jar fop.jar

Invocation used to be handled by fop.bat/fop.sh, but I think this is now
obsolete. (?) Either way, the above works.

Yes, it is misleading on the site.  You can use the following on the 
command line (assuming all the relevant jars are in your classpath):

java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop file.fo file.pdf

fop special character help!

[Amy Weiss]

Hi

I am a developer and I am trying to use fop (apache) to generate pdf from my
xsl file and xml file.  I need to know what font are supported by fop and
how I can print special characters.  For instance, I want to have an a with
an accent mark over it in the pdf.  I was just using the ascii value and
that worked fine, but now I also need to display korean, japanese, and
chinese characters in the pdf.  I don't want to find and type the ascii
value into the xsl and fop isn't recognizing them anyways.  My Adobe
supports these fonts but I am unable to find any way to put these characters
into the xsl file and have the fop turn them into pdf.

Please Help!

[Beer, Christian]

Hi!

Are you using iExplorer? If yes, then the thing is, that the
internetexplorer 
does give a damn about mime-types. For the iexplore only the url counts.
So try to add a ".pdf" to your url:

Betreff: HELP - PASSING PARAMETER


Hi at all,

I have two important question:

1) I have a jsp page that call a java function of my external class.
I pass at this object dynamic xml and stylesheet xsl
and then I have to pass some parameter at my stylesheet
that are stored in HttpSession object.
If I use XSLTransform from fop there isn't
a possibility passing parameter! Is this True??
I have utilized instead of it the class: javax.xml.transform.Transformer
With this class I can pass parameter to stylesheet and perform the 
transformation
getting out InputSource that I pass at Driver.

2) When the render process end in my JSP
return ByteArrayOutputStream that I convert
setting the contentType:

1) response.setContentType("application/pdf");
2) ByteArrayOutputStream ris_pdf = ((XMLTransform) 
request.getAttribute("XMLTransform")).processXML_PDF(abs_path, 
(ParamXSL[]) request.getAttribute("ParamXSL"), formato);
  
 
   3) byte[] content = ris_pdf.toByteArray();
4) response.setContentLength(content.length);
5) response.getOutputStream().write(content);
6) response.getOutputStream().flush(); 

At this point appear the browser form that call
me If I want to save or open the result
why if I have set the content type?? and If I choose
acrobat I can view the PDF File!

(I use Struts and the file my output file is called ListaFacolta.do)

HELP: PDF generation hangs

[Vladimir Sneblic]

Hi,

I have a problem when I try to generate a PDF file from a FOP file that
contains an SVG image. It doesn't matter if the image is inline or if it's
stored as a separate file. My problem is that the PDF file gets generated
but for some reason the java thread "hangs", i.e. even though the work is
finished it doesn't stop executing. Has anyone else encountered this
problem?

Here's the piece of code that I'm using to render the PDF:

Hierarchy hierarchy = Hierarchy.getDefaultHierarchy();
Logger log = hierarchy.getLoggerFor("fop");
log.setPriority(Priority.DEBUG);
Driver driver = new Driver(new InputSource(new
StringReader(template.toString())), outputStream);
driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
 
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping");
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping");
driver.run();

This code generated this output:

INFO10068   [fop ] (): building formatting object tree
DEBUG   10068   [fop ] (): setting up fonts
INFO10068   [fop ] (): [1]

HELP WITH FONTS PLEASE!

[Gorka Echevarría]

Hi all,
I have a problem to generate a pdf document 
from a servlet appling fonts that are not included by default in the Fop 
especification.
If I execute Fop from the command line, I have no 
problem at all, and it works perfectly.
I know how to especify the file "userconfig.xml" in 
the command line -> "Fop -c conf/userconfig.xml", but I don´t know how to do 
it 
in the servlet to allow the use of diferent kinds 
of font in the xsl-fo file.
My source code in the servlet looks like 
this:
        
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new 
ByteArrayOutputStream();    
response.setContentType("application/pdf");    
Driver driver = new 
Driver();    
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);    
driver.setOutputStream(out);    
driver.render(input.getParser(), 
input.getInputSource());    
byte[] content = 
out.toByteArray();    
response.setContentLength(content.length);    
response.getOutputStream().write(content);    
response.getOutputStream().flush();
 
I've read the document fonts.pdf already 
(thank you very much Sergei) and I have read  the page http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html but 
i have found no solution.
 
Can anyboy help me please?

I am really only writing to refer you to the Stupid Disclaimers
page http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ >,
as you changed 'are' to 'r' to save two 7-bit bytes!

The short answer is that this is a java problem.

I hope that FOP will not move away from 100% pure java
without very good reason. If adding the requested
encoding is machine/OS specific then should we encapsulate
this issue by deriving from String?

Either way, any change should be fully consistent
with FOPs internationalisation mechansims.

I would guess that the medium length answer is yes,
all of them & you might be better catching the
exception at an appropriate point and reporting it.

If you are not familar with encoding in java, then
you might want to look here
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javanp2/chapter/ch11.html >, or
http://users.erols.com/eepeter/chinesecomputing/programming/java.html >
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html >
where encoding is mentioned in passing.

Not a specialist on Forrest or Cocoon, yet, but I think it probably

converted the HTML to XHTML you could probably write an XSLT stylesheet
to add the JavaScript stuff. Just what's going though my head. I hope it
helps anyway. Probably best if you asked on Forrest mailing list, too.

Thanks for the Sourceforge reference.  It seems that the software is in

I will ask on forrest-dev.

FOP hangs.. Need help

taken from ExampleFO2PDF.java available on http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html#ExampleFO2PDF.

While running this code, it hangs.

 

Can someone help what could be the issue.

 

Note: The size of XSL-FO file is around 225MB.

Please help with block breaks

[Heidi Gerken]

I implore any member of this list to give me an answer to my question. Does
keep-with-next, keep-with-previous, keep-together or keep-together.within-page
work with blocks or list-blocks? If so, how should it be implemented? I have a
series of 4 list blocks, like the one below, inside a parent block. I would like
all four list blocks within the block to be on the same page; if they cannot
fit, I want the entire block to move to the next page. Is this possible? Would
someone, please, tell me how I can do this. (I hope you sense the desperation in
my email, because I am truly losing my mind over this one.)

Re: New user expect help

[Arved Sandstrom]

You should be able to get started using the instructions at 
http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html.

In terms of using FOP as a servlet, we have some instructions at the end of 
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html. I have never used iWS as anything 
but a static-HTML front-end for iAS (that is, iAS and not iWS handles 
servlets), so I don't know if things will be quite as simple for iWS, but it 
probably is.

If you have any problems please let us know what FOP distribution you are 
working with. I'd personally be happy to help with getting the servlet up 
and runing with iWS if you run into any problems.

http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html. I have never used iWS as
anything
but a static-HTML front-end for iAS (that is, iAS and not iWS handles
servlets), so I don't know if things will be quite as simple for iWS,
but it
probably is.
If you have any problems please let us know what FOP distribution you
are
working with. I'd personally be happy to help with getting the servlet
up
and runing with iWS if you run into any problems.

Re: Newbie attempting to help

Your help is very welcome.

Unfortunately the the solution to the problem is not that easy. This is one
area that fop does not handle very well and we are in search of a solution.

The problem of keeps (and space resolution etc.) is one that spans across
the fo heirarchy in a number of directions. This makes it difficult to
handle without a rehash of how the layout is organised.

An effort is underway in this direction but there seems to be a fair amount
of resistance to change (from fop).

Hope this doesn't put you off.

Re: Newbie attempting to help

[Arved Sandstrom]

Total agreement to everything Keiron just said.

However, that's not to say that we can't work up something that meets your 
needs for 'keep-together' on fo:list-item. It's usually possible to take 
care of a specific; as Keiron says it's the general case (making keeps work 
everywhere that they are supposed to) that is rather more of an obstacle. I 
have some ideas in regard to how you might want to tackle the problem you 
describe and will elaborate this evening.

Re: Newbie attempting to help

[Don Wellington]

No, it doesn't put me off.

I think the direction I will take is to focus on the
list-item-label and list-item-body.  Since, both are
required in a list-item, it seems like a limited
enough case that it might not be as hard as the
general case.

FOP PCL Rendering - Please help!

[avespa]

Hello,

I am trying to render a document using FOP -> PCL.  I am seeing a few issues
though:

1) I have a little image in GIF format that I am rendering in the page - it
comes all distroted and blurry - do I have to change it to another format?

2)  I get errors in the log file from my app, such as

WARNING: Number of cell columns under table-row not equal to number of
table-columns

repeated six or so times.  The formatting of the printout looks a bit off
(it seems to be missing a few spaces at the top ) but this looks fine when
rendered as a PDF.  Are there any good guidelines folks have for a
stylesheet that would be used to render PCL vs PDF?

3) Finally, does anyone know what level of PCL is actually being generated?
I want to make sure this will work and be interpretted on as many HP
printers as possible - the two that I have tried it on have the above issues
of blurry images and header spacing.

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to help!

Thanks very much,

Tony

Someone also said this may be fixed in the latest CVS. I downloaded
Fop-0.20.1-src.tar.gz on 9/17/01. Is there something more recent? I only ask
because my ridiculous company still hasn't restored our internet access
since Nimda.

I would also be happy if I could get render(dom) working when applied to a
dynamically-generated DOM object. I can get it to work on a DOM generated
from a file, but not on the same DOM generated from an XSLT transform. I'd
rather not have to save my XSLT output to a temp file every time I want to
generate a PDF document. I described this case thoroughly at the end of the
'Does render(dom) actually work?' thread.

I combine this code with what I have above and render(dom) works fine:

<<<>>>
   File foFile = new File(foFilename);
   StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(foFile);

RE: FOP WARNING - Please Help!

[Savino, Matt C]

I downloaded and built the latest CVS. When I tried to use the
XSLTInputHandler, my error switched from the weird one I was getting to yet
another null pointer exception. That got me thinking maybe I should just try
doing the simplest transform of all time and see if it isn't something with
my stylesheet. Anyway the problem was I only had the xsl namespace defined
in my stylesheet root element and not the fo namespace.

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";   (missing)
>

I probably should have known this. I think someone even mentioned it, but I
wasn't sure what they were talking about. Anyway, the good news is that
after three days of fiddling I feel like I know FOP pretty well. I also have
a much better grasp of SAX and DOM.

Again, thanks for all your help. You probably haven't heard the last of me.

This is a well known problem with the Java runtime, which should
be fixed in JDK 1.4 (along with a few other major annoynaces).
What probably happens is that Batik uses AWT functionality for
SVG rendering, which often (but not always) causes the graphics
subsystem to create an additional thread, which will still run
after the main thread expires. This may also depend on the platform
and the underlying graphics system.
A temporary fix is to add System.exit(0) to the main functions
of applications which use FOP (or Batik). JDK 1.4 was still beta
last time i checked, you may want to try it anyway.

Embedding fop in IE..Help!!!

[Rajagopal. V]

Hi All
I have an XML file which i combine with a XSL to
generate the FO file and render it. It works fine with
Netscape but im having a tough time with IE. It is
displaying garbage on teh screen. All i get is binary
characters for the PDF File. I have IE 5.5 Sp1. and i
tried all the workarounds. These are the ones I tried
1) Changed the name of the file to be .pdf so that IE
will look at the extension and treat it as PDF

2) Bloated the file size to be more than 8k so that
there is no buffer problem with IE

3) Downloaded the Fo file generated and ran the fo
command line and it generates the PDF properly(as an
application). So there is nothing wrong with the FO.

IS there any other way to get a PDF on IE? Im not sure
why im getting binary content all over the screen?

Please HElpp...

TIA
Raj

Build problems... please help/advise...

[Robert Kylberg]

Hi,

I'm new to FOP, just joined the mailing list and I'm not sure what  
exactly is going on so I'd *really* appreciate it if someone could  
explain how to build FOP from the latest src (if it is even possible).  
I've been unable to build FOP from the src archive as of 3/11. A couple  
of the error messages I get are:

[javac]  
/Users/bkylberg/Projects/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/image/ 
analyser/SVGReader.java:204: Method createSVGDocument(java.lang.String,  
java.io.InputStream) not found in class  
org.apache.batik.dom.svg.SAXSVGDocumentFactory [javac]  
SVGDocument doc = (SVGDocument) factory.createSVGDocument(uri, fis);

[javac]  
/Users/bkylberg/Projects/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/render/ps/ 
PSTextPainter.java:93: class org.apache.fop.render.ps.PSTextPainter  
must be declared abstract. It does not define java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D  
getBounds(org.apache.batik.gvt.TextNode) from interface  
org.apache.batik.gvt.TextPainter.

and so on until the build fails...

The first error can be corrected by calling createDocument instead of  
createSVGDocument. createSVGDocument is an undefined API on  
SAXSVGDocumentFactory so I'm not sure how anyone has been able to  
compile this (ref:  
http://xml.apache.org/batik/javadoc/org/apache/batik/dom/svg/ 
SAXSVGDocumentFactory.html ).

The second error is due to the fact that PSTextPainter claims to  
implement TextPainter (ref:  
http://xml.apache.org/batik/javadoc/org/apache/batik/gvt/ 
TextPainter.html ) but is in fact missing API implementations, among  
which getBounds is one. In fact I believe the implementation of  
PSTextPainter.getOutline(TextNode node) is altogether wrong insofar as  
PROXY_PAINTER isa StrokingTextPainter whose getOutline method takes a  
TextNode *and* a boolean (ref:  
http://xml.apache.org/batik/javadoc/org/apache/batik/gvt/renderer/ 
StrokingTextPainter.html ).

According to the mailing list archives PSTextPainter was recently  
submitted and added to the repository (ref:  
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=104737262930539&w=2 and  
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=104735385419249&w=2 ).

Perhaps everyone is using a different version of Java than I am ;-) but  
if not, then I'm wondering how anyone is able to build FOP given these  
defects? Am I the only one whose tried to build FOP from scratch in the  
past 2 days?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

need help xalan-J images

[Torsten Erler]

I'm using XALAN Java 2 to translate "xsl" stylesheets to "fo" and the result
to "pdf"
I have to insert a graphic using URL from xml file









This works fine, but all images are scaled to the specified height and
width.
If I remove this attributes, all images greater than page size
()
produce an infinite loop on translation.
I tried to use "max-height" and "max-width", but xalan ignores this and
tells me:
Warning: property - "max-height" is not implemented yet.
Warning: property - "max-width" is not implemented yet.

Can anyone tell me another solution to find out whether the image must be
scaled to fit the page size or not?

Really, what rows look like in XML is not helpful to us.  What is

Antwort: FOP performance - frustrating.. help!!

When you prepare an actual FO file for us to see, please check how long
xalan takes for the xml->fo translation step. Just to make sure..

As for your XML file: you may want to try rewriting the elements below
the  node as attributes of the row node. Since you are generating the
files on the fly, this should improve performance a little. With 1000 row
elements, thats about 1 less nodes to process. If and how much this 
saves
depends on the DOM and xslt processor you use, of course.

In general, I find the 5 minutes you state a little long. FOP does have 
severe
performance problemes with large tables, but not that bad. We generate a 
30
page document of this kind in about 40 seconds on a 1Ghz Athlon.

One thing that you could try is to increase the java heap to 1024MB. 512MB 
is
not excessive for the kind of document you state. Maybe you don't get out 
of
memory messages so far, but if memory is tight, the JVM will garbage 
collect
a lot - and this is costly for FOP. Try to find a heap size where no 
garbage
collection is necessary during processing of a single document.

One other thing: If you generate PDFs that are costly in terms of CPU 
and/or memory,
think about generating the PDFs in the background, then email them to your
web site's visitors. If your use case could live with that, I'd go that 
route.
Even with a FOP that's 20 times faster, you'll have a hard time 
guaranteeing
a certain quality of service for your web site. At the very least, you'd 
have
to use a rendering queue with a pool of renderers since you don't have 
infinite
memory (I suppose).

Hope this helps,

RE: FOP performance - frustrating.. help!!

[jthaemlitz]

I also have speed issues, but not this bad.  One thing I do is put a block
around the whole table that sets up my default font.  Not sure if this will
help you any, but it'll clean up the code a little.  Also can you specify
the font you want, like "Helvetica" instead of "Helvetica, Arial, sans".
Just some little things that may help a little.

You seem to use a seriously underpowered machine, or you've complicated
the transformation too much. I routinely transform 1MB files on moderatly
modern hardware in less than 10s.

urgent help needed using FOP

[Jerry]

Hi,

I am currently working on a
project which convert binary data in tiff format  into
PDF format. I refer to  the example(FopServlet.java)
and always got  error "Error 500: Content is
not allowed in prolog. ". I could not figure out what
the problem is.  I was stuch by this. Please help me.

Here is the peice of codes. Would you please take a
look and give me a suggestion. I will greatly
appreciate it.  

BTW, the binary data format from database which will
be displayed on the web is in tiff format, not a
formatting object. If it can be displayed directly on
the web in pdf format, it is not necessary to convert
it into pdf first.

thanks,

Jerry

Help in XML Rendering to PostScript

[avespa]

Hello,

I am fairly new to FOP and to Java as well.  I am wondering if anyone has
written a rendering to convert an XML stream to Postscript with FOP (similar
to the PCL or PDF renderer) - I am in desperate need of a mechanism to do
this.  We have a current Java app that converts an XML stream into PDF, but
printing through Adobe Acrobat is too resource intensive on the lower end
machines.  I have tried converting to PCL and then streaming to a port,
which works pretty well, but is not a 100% compatibile (PCL beng only HP)

If anyone knows of a way to convert an XML to PS format using a custom FOP
piece they've written, or knows of a better mechanism, I'd be forever
grateful!

Thanks very much,

Tony

to it. I have also tried these using the keep-* tags with no success. I hope
someone can back me up or prove me wrong on this.

Re: Converting XMP to PDF...HELP!!!!!!

[Don Wellington]

Hi Mike-

Yes, that is the way to convert xml to pdf.  And, you
need to do it to every file before the user can read
it in a PDF viewer.

An alternative, if you are serving the PDF via a
webserver is to use Cocoon.  With Cocoon2 you can set
it up such that when the web server gets a request for
say file.pdf it will convert file.xml to pdf and
return that to the user.  It has a caching system so
it will only perform the conversion once unless the
xml file has changed.

I hoep that helps.

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply.  Yes, we are planning to serve PDF files via a web
server.  I will defiantly take your tip and test it out with Cocoon.

Thanks a bunch.

Mike

RE: FOP PCL Rendering - Please help!

[Art Welch]

1) The PCLRenderer only does very basic image printing. Basically for each
pixel in the input image if the color (or gray) intensity is above a certain
level then it will be white, otherwise it will be black. You would probably
obtain better results if you used an image processing application to dither
the image to black and white.

2) I would not expect the table column errors to depend on the renderer. I
suspect that the number of columns defined for the table and the number of
columns in a row do not actually agree. You may want to re-check the tables
to verify that they are correct.

2a) The PCLRenderer should produce output that is as close as possible to
the PDFRenderer with the same FO input. Sometimes the AcrobatReader will
appear to introduce differences when printed because I think that the
default is to Fit To Page on print. If you turn this off and print the PCL
and PDF they should be identical (within the limitations). Some important
limitations of the PCLRenderer are no color, only the original built in font
support, and no SVG support.

3) The PCLRenderer requires PCL5 support. A major objective for the
PCLRenderer was to support as many PCL printers as possible, so only basic
PCL functionality was used (where possible). One deviation from vanilla PCL5
was that I think PCL5 (at least according to my manual) only supports bitmap
resolutions to 300 dpi. For image scaling the PCLRenderer may set the
resolution to 600 dpi if needed. Another area of potential concern is that
the PCLRenderer uses Arial for Helvetica and Times New for Times, so these
fonts must be in the printer and accessed with the standard HP codes. Note
that the FO file references Helvetica or Times NOT Arial or Times New.

I hope that this helps.

Art

Subject: FOP PCL Rendering - Please help!
Importance: High


Hello,

I am trying to render a document using FOP -> PCL.  I am seeing a few issues
though:

1) I have a little image in GIF format that I am rendering in the page - it
comes all distroted and blurry - do I have to change it to another format?

2)  I get errors in the log file from my app, such as

WARNING: Number of cell columns under table-row not equal to number of
table-columns

repeated six or so times.  The formatting of the printout looks a bit off
(it seems to be missing a few spaces at the top ) but this looks fine when
rendered as a PDF.  Are there any good guidelines folks have for a
stylesheet that would be used to render PCL vs PDF?

3) Finally, does anyone know what level of PCL is actually being generated?
I want to make sure this will work and be interpretted on as many HP
printers as possible - the two that I have tried it on have the above issues
of blurry images and header spacing.

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to help!

Thanks very much,

Tony

help please Problem with generation PDF

[Semprini Davide]

Hi,

I have witten a Servlet that take two file in input (file.xml and file.xsl)
my code is:

 Driver driver = new Driver();
 driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
 File xmlFile = new File("c:\\xml_to_pdf.xml");
 File xslFile = new File("c:\\TransformPDF.xsl");   
 InputHandler inputHandler = new 
XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile,xslFile);   
 XMLReader parser=createParser();
 driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("outFile.pdf"));
 driver.render(parser, inputHandler.getInputSource());
  
and my servlet have a block inside Method render( )
The parser is instantiated correctly I think that there is a problem
in the way that i pass the Files!!  TOMCAT REPLY ME:

building formatting object tree
setting up fonts
WARNING: Unknown formatting object ^val

 and then an error inside driven.render()

my xml is very simple like this:

Re: Embedding fop in IE..Help!!!

[Carmelo Montanez]

I take it you are using an application.  Are you sending both text
and binary data at the same time?, are you using the
printWriter? or the getOutputStream method class?, for binary data
you will need the getOutputStream.  I had the same problem
some time ago and sending JUST the binary data solved the problem.

The problem I ran into was the PDF taking the whole screen
and not a portion of it as I wanted to.  Is anyone aware of
how to restrict a a PDF file to a portion of the screen?

Greetings,

Carmelo Montanez
