Ok, the problem's source is somewhere else. It just looked
like it had something to do with the metrics creation.

I tried to create a font metrics file from a

This font contains no embedding license restrictions
java.lang.SecurityException: class org.apache.fop.fo.Unknown$Maker's

What does this mean? Where's the problem when the font

Any ideas?

This depending on font-size. You can calculate it from font-size,
font-metrics (generated by TTF or PFM Reader) and length of line (in chars).
You must do this in XSLT.

Then it seems to me you are using wrong hammer, afair applets cannot access

RE: calculate the length of a text

2003-02-06 Thread Buchtík, Michal
Some time ago i use this construction

fo:table-column font-weight=bold
xsl:attribute name=column-width
xsl:value-of
select=4*(string-length(order/code)+1) /pt
/xsl:attribute
/fo:table-column

the number 4 in select = is the average width of char in font i use.
This was ok for me, because it don't must be too much precise. 

When you need an more presice width of line, you must compute the with by
importing width of chars from other xml file.

see XSLT functions
document, substring, string-length, value-of, etc.

I wrote this from hand, i don't try it. There is posibility, that XSLT
functions are not too complex to solve this, so you may need write some
script/extension to XSLT parser. Ask some XSLT gurus for this.

Problems with header

2003-02-06 Thread Celine Murphy



Hi,

I am having problems 
with my table creation. Specifically the header. I want my table header to 
appear once and then the table body uses a xsl:for-each to run through 
certain nodes and populate the body. 

The problem I am 
having is that my table looks great but straight after it the header is printed 
out on its own again. This is when the xsl:for each is inside the 
fo:table-body tag.
If I change 
the position xsl:for-each tagto within the fo:table-body 
tag the header does not repeat itself. Instead it is the bottom border that 
repeats itself. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can anyone 
help??

We also currently develop tools to generate invoices with FOP (on

why not print with pdf or PCL?

Objet : AW: PS  PostScript

Hello!

that sounds not so good.

Given the following requirements :

1. i need to produce an invoice or order using fop.
2. i need to specify the tray to which each page is printed out.
3. i want to support non ps-able printer.
4. i need a pdf file for our archive system.

How could this be done?

My first thought was to run a post-process after fop. It thould take
the pdf result, split it using a given definition using itext and
finally send it to a network printer hosted by our linux host.

But that sounds really strange and is far to complex, not to think about
its robustness. It also would result a really huge printcap file, due to
the different initial sequences for each pager tray on each printer.

Another idea is to extend the pdf renderer that it can produce
ps pass thru paper tray selection code. The definition what should
be printed where and how would be stored somewhere in my source data
and would be adressed using xpath and a page-sequence extension.

The final result should be converted to ps using pdf2ps and be send to a
printer using ghostscript ( some newsgroups entries says that tray
selection
is supported in gs 6.x, but i really do not know ).

I really want to do it this way. We could define the tray configuration
in
our source data and we do not neet to run a ugly post process.

If i understand the source code right , the point i would need to hack
is
the renderPage
method. Everything else would be left fine as it is.

What do you think ??


Cheers

Mirko

No.

Also no.

 I need a way to specify the paper input
 and
 output tray for each rendered page. Has anybody done this before ?

Now, you're getting a yes. :-) I've done this. I've produced PDF
converted it to PostScript using Acrobat Reader 4.05 on Unix (Linux and
Solaris). The generated PostScript can be easily parsed because it
follows the DSC conventions (Document Structuring Conventions, Specs at
Adobe in the PostScript section). I've then patched the PostScript file
with the necessary instructions for the target printer.

There's one problem, though: There's currently no way to get information
through which page was rendered with which page-master to get the input
trays right. I ended up having XPath statements in the configuration of
that system I was working on that evaluated the input XML file and
generated information for the PostScript patcher to output the correct
instructions for each page. Quite some work. But it's doable.

The clean way, obviously, would be to extend the PostScript renderer to
support PPD files which contain the instructions for selecting paper
bins and the like. For that to work as expected we will need a FOP
extension on the simple-page-master where we can specify the paper bins
to be used because that lies outside of the XSL-FO standard.

A simpler solution is to add a callback to FOP that sends you
notifications of the page-master each page was layouted with. But that's
just to get information on which page is on which page-master. You'll
still have to do the PostScript patching.

All this is on the todo list, but nobody's had the time or the need and
it's probably better done in the redesign than in the maintenance
branch.

 And if it works,
 will ghostscript understand that correctly and work even with a non
PS-able
 printer?

GhostScript, to my knowledge, doesn't interpret paper bin etc.
instructions.

Another things that you can try is to create EPS files containing the
bin selection code. I doubt very much that this will work, though.

Good luck.

Doc on XSLTInputHandler for embedending FOP

2003-02-06 Thread Jean-Philippe VALENTIN
Hi,

I would like to define an XSLTInputHandler with a stream source for XML and
a stream source for XSL and not a File object.

I didn't find any documentation on the implementation of XSLTInputHandler
constructor.

The goal is to create a class XmlToPdf with method like renderPDF wich could
take these parameters :
=
...
public class XmlToPdf
{

/*This one is NOT OK*/

public static void renderPDF (InputStream originXML, InputStream xsl,
OutputStream destinationPDF) throws IOException {

===??  XSLTInputHandler input = new XSLTInputHandler(originXML, xsl);


/*This one is OK*/
public static void renderPDF (String originXML, String xsl, String
destinationPDF) throws IOException {
FilefileEntreeXML = new File(originXML);
FilefileEntreeXSL = new File(xsl);
ByteArrayOutputStream bytePDF = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
XSLTInputHandler input = new XSLTInputHandler(fileEntreeXML,
fileEntreeXSL);
renderPDF( input, bytePDF);

/*This one is OK*/
private static void renderPDF(XSLTInputHandler input, ByteArrayOutputStream
output)
...
}
=

Anyone can help me ?

Thanks

Unexpected page splitting

2003-02-06 Thread Ben.Temperton
I've recently just started using FOP and am having great difficulty
understanding how margins and space-after influence each other.
It's difficult to explain what the problem is without knowing what may be
causing it, so I have included an extract from the .fo document

For some reason the final block after the table and before the page break
gets split over 2 pages, despite the fact that there is very large amounts
of space available. This does not occur if the 'space-after' and
'space-before' attributes are removed from the fo:blocks within the
fo:table-cells. 

So my questions are
(1) why does the page break occur despite the vast amounts of room remaining
on the page?
(2) is this the correct way to add padding to table-cells and if not, what
is?

Many thanks,

Ben

In my experience, solid is the only one which works with PRINT. However, 
others (double, dotted, etc.) work with PDF output. I've found PDF 
output to have a bit more polish than PRINT, as far as border-style goes.

OT: Also, I've filed a bug in bugzilla for rendering differences 
(apparently related to font-metrics/line-height?) between PRINT  PDF:

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16772
As I look at that bug, I notice that I need to make some changes. The 
bug is not necessarily limited to AWT rendering as it indicates.

It depends.

I'd say some 900M but you can experiment: write a small Java program
which allocates a hunk of memory (using new byte[size] and zero it),
then null the pointer and start over with a larger allocation size,
using, say, 10MB steps. Use the system monitor to detect when excessive
swapping sets in. Dont forget to preload any other services you'll
expect to run and keep them busy. Add 50M or so as safety margin.
   - When the FOP handles two requests simultaneously (using
  two threads),
   does the JVM need two times as much memory with the -Xmx
  option
If you are past the allocation of 256M, then basically yes.
   - If so, can we prevent the servlet runner (Tomcat) from
  starting more
   threads when requests keep coming in?
Put the actual PDF rendering into a sync'd static routine of
your servlet or use a singleton, as usual. Look into any book
covering Java MT programming in somewhat more depth than the
usual Java in three days.

Re: Unexpected page splitting

Here is an extract from the .fo file:

Are you sure you are sunning FOP? The FO above is illegal,
and I get

Correct your this, and perhaps upgrade your FO proccessor.

This indicates a mismatch between the region name declared on the

a bug in the DocBook XSL, ask there.

I'm looking for an solution to calculate the number of pages without the

Great idea. If you tell me how to do it, I'll implement it.
Note: In general, you can't know how many pages a text fills
unless you actually filled the pages with the text.
i know it...

an own wrapper? why doesnt exists a default-wrapper? How could i implemet
this?
I took the freedom to delete the code you generously pseudo-quoted
from the FAQ and which does exactly what you described.

but my question was how could u implement this wrapper???

FW: Postscript Error when RIPing document created with FOP

-Original Message-
From: Patrick Branley

Subject: Postscript Error when RIPing document created with FOP


Hi

I have PDF document created with FOP that I sent to Xerox Docucolor 2060
using a Scitex Spire RIP that failed with the following error:

Type  DateTimeStage   Message
Error Message Feb 05, 11.06.06 Process General postscript error.
Please preview the job to ensure file validity.

Type  DateTimeStage   Message
Error Message Feb 05, 11.06.06 Process %%[Error: syntaxerror;
OffendingCommand: bin obj seq, type=128, elements=1, size=45318,
non-zero unused field]%%|

Initially I thought the problem was further on in the process with a later
step in our application where the file is merged with another PDF using
PDFLib, however sending just the pure FOP PDF and not the PDFlib merged PDF
still causes this error. However Thomas Merz at pdflib gave me this
information

 This is a rarely used PostScript feature called binary object
 encoding. I wonder which component in your workflow generates it? Do 
 you print through Acrobat or send the PDF to the RIP directly? In the 
 latter case I'll speculate that the RIP internally translates PDF to 
 binary PostScript, and for some reason this conversion fails, and 
 produces something which should be considered an internal error 
 message. Type=128 is a floating point number, but size=45318 is 
 definitely too much data for a float; This suggests that some data 
 portion is severly messed up.

There are no images in this file, just text using some embedded type 1
fonts. The File was created with fop 0.20.4rc. Any suggestions on how to
solve this ?

The printer has a workaround by first distilling the file in Acrobat and
then resending it to the RIP, but this affects their workflow and we plan to
send a large number of files to them per year so this isn't a viable option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Patrick,
I don't have a solution for you, but I'd suggest trying with fop-0.20.4 
and 0.20.5rc to be certain it wasn't something that was resolved.

This is probably version 1.60.0 Upgrade to 1.60.1  is highly recommened
as FOP produces less warnings now

Re: Problems with header

Your usage of terms indicates that you also have a somewhat
muddled understanding of the technology you are dealing with.
In the XSLFO world, the term table header usually means
a specific FO:
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_table-header
This does not match your problem description closely enough,
therefore I guess you have a problem more in the XSLT area.
My suggestions:
- Get one of Jeni Tennison's books about XSLT or, more recommended,
  take a 1-2 week training. Copypaste from an online tutorial does
  not make you a competent XSLT programmer.
- Read http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
- Ask further questions regarding XSLT on the XSL list
   http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/
  There is also a link to the FAQ on this page.
