RE: dynamic image in PDF

[Buonincontri, Steve (CAP, MMF, ITSS)]

Ankur,

With rtf2fo I had to use a "-o fop0.20.3". I had the same problem. What are you 
using to generate the fo?

We can talk tomorrow.

Fop Multithreading.

[Ramakrishnan.G]

Hai,

I am using FOp to generate PDF and PS from xml and xsl.
I runs very slow. Is it possible to thread the entire application after
Driver class instantiation.

I found that in Driver class of fop the

render(XMLReader,InputSource) is declared synchronous. From this i got
confused
whether  fop allows threads. Please someone help me to implement the app in
multi-threads.

I want to reuse Driver object.

Thanks and Regards

Ramakrishnan.G

Re: Fop Multithreading.

[Bart Locanthi]

threading isn't going to reduce the amount of cpu time it takes to do 
anything.

in fact, if you have the misfortune to use PipedInputStreams, you will 
find dead time with each stage of your pipeline. an amazing gaffe for a 
unix company in their marquis language.

Hi,
I've a problem using basic-links.
When i give a fo:basic-link for some word, it 
leaves two spaces before and after the string.

Does anybody know why this empty space is created

Re: XML-tag in dom.text-node - how to do?

[Jeremias Maerki]

This is not really the place to ask general XML/DOM questions but here's
what you're probably doing wrong: I presume you add the "" as
part of a text node. That way some of the character get escaped like "<"
to <. To get around that you need to split up your text node into
different nodes. An example:

"variable text bla bla  variable text"

has to be expressed in a DOM as

text node: "variable text bla bla "
element node: "PAGE"
text node: " variable text"

That way, the special character don't get escaped. I hope this helps.

This happens because you used "master-reference" instead of "master-name"

You can try to specify a base directory with the following call where
baseDir is an URL String like "file:D:/Temp".

Configuration.put("baseDir", baseDir);

display numbers

[ludovic . maurillon]

Hi,
I have to display numbers in a PDF document, but it's frequently thousands or 
millions, so I would like to render it like this:
1 000 000 or 1'000'000
instead of 100
is it possible or may I write a fonction that convert it in a string before 
rendering it??
Moreover, is the choice of the language including the rendering of numbers?? 
for exemple in France we use a coma and not a dot in numbers:
14,89 <=> 14.89

cheers,
Ludo.

Re: Relative position elements

Thank's for that piece of advice but I'm rather looking for a solution 
allowing to position elements in a relative way.

The problem is that I want to design absolute-positionned blocks but, 
because I don't know the number of times a block will be repeated and

FOP-GUI

Hello volks,

does anybody know if there is a FOP-GUI on the internet created by someone?
Because, command line sucks.

Re: display numbers

[Guillaume Laforge]

Salut Ludo !
 
If you wish to format a number, depending on a 
specified locale, you can convert your Float with some classes found in the 
java.text package. You can specify a pattern for the resulting 
String.
 
DecimalFormat nf = 
(DecimalFormat)DecimalFormat.getInstance(Locale.FRENCH);nf.applyPattern("#,##0.00"); 

// this pattern is very usefull for just keeping 
two digit for the decimal part (especially when dealing with 
currencies
Float myFloatNumber = 123456789.123456
String myFormattedString = 
nf.format(myFloatNumber);
// myFormattedString will be equal to "123 456 
789,12" in the locale is French
// and it will be equal to "123,456,789.12" if 
the locale is English

AW: Trouble with ZapfDingbats

Hi

I don't know why the support for this font is stopped in this version.
However, have you tried to add the fonts ?
Pl. refer to http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html

Rgds
Jay

I recently upgraded to the latest version of Fop (fop-0.20.3rc2) to take
advantage of the changes to the attribute master-name and am now having
problems with the ZapfDingbats font. Essentially my PDF doesn't
recognise the font.

You can have a look at:

choose "XSLT Questions and Answers" and then "Formatting"

Please also have a look at the XSL FO pages, so this thread is not off topic

FOP doesn't deal with numbers at all, only characters.  If you pass it "1 
000 000" it will format "1 000 000".  [There are a few exceptions, as for 
page numbers.]

If you are using XSLT to create your FOs which are passed to FOP, then look 
at the xsl:number element and its attributes.

Re: Trouble with ZapfDingbats

Hi
I recently had problems with ZapfDingbats in fop 20.3  The solution is to
use the Unicode for the dingbat you wish to render - I was using:

 l
which produced a filled-in circle character in 20.1, but rendered a pair of
scissors in 20.3  The solution is to use:
 ●
which works fine in 20.3

Hope this helps

hello all

Is there any way of adding some kind of watermark to a PDF document
generated with FOP ? I am using FOP in a JSP environment.

Thanks
