where can I find the javadoc
Hello, I have tried to hunt through both the source code tar and the binary tar, and can't find the javadoc for FOP. Am I blind, or is it somewhere else. Any help would be great Steve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: can FOP generate .fo from the original XML?
Robert, FOP uses XALAN to do its XSLT processing. Using xalan.bat (it's in the BINARY of 0.20.5rc2 and I think the SOURCE, too), you can output to FO. The command line is: xalan.bat -in (XML_FILE.xml) -xsl (XSL_FILE.xsl) -out (NEW_FO_FILE.fo) For more information, simply run xalan.bat from the command line. Hope this helps!

Line-wrap in fo:leader
How can I handle line-wrap in fo:leader?

I can only guess something weird happens with the space calculation between the leader and the word on the line end. Also , the space at the block end is occasionally a problem. As a workaround: - Use leader-alignment=reference-area. This guarantees the leaders end at the same x-position if the followig word has the same length as on the line before. It also looks better. - Write your XSLT so that no extra space occurs at the end of the line, i.e. ...080)/fo:inline/fo:block instead of ...080)/fo:inline /fo:block This looks already much better.

Re: embedded svg with blank anchor elements causes NullPointerException in 1.0Dev
More bad SVG, if you ask me, but FOP shouldn't crash because of that. I've fixed the bug in CVS. Thanks for reporting it. I still have to find out why it doesn't crash in 0.20.5rc2. The code is almost the same. On 11.03.2003 23:59:16 Krautbauer, Bruce wrote: The following document processes without error with 0.20.5rc2 but causes a java.lang.NullPointerException with 1.0Dev.

And a font I use (Arial) in the SVG file is changed in the PDF file. With the version 0.20.5 works this correct. I think I use the old version for the moment... Probably safe. The reason for these two problems is the lack of configuration (no compression, no custom fonts), I think. This will be addressed for the first release of the PDF transcoder. Monitor this mailing list for announcements. One more question: Can I change the size (widht and height) of the generated PDF file? There's something about that here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/dev/svg.html The test.svg and the resulting PDF you sent are pretty simple. I've cross-checked most elements in the PDF with the PDF spec and I can't see anything strange. Without access to Adobe Illustrator and/or a better error message from it I can't do anything else. Probably best if you sent the PDF to Adobe support. The PDF, by the way, opens nicely in GhostScript/GhostView and CorelDraw.

Subject: Question about Word character encoding.
Hi,
I have a little query : I am looking for a table with the hexadecimal code
for the MS Word specific characters (eg: ... or the ' character).
I am coding a java class that will clean the Word input to avoid FOP to
render specific character as #.
eg :
if (c == 0x85) {
stBuffer.append(...);
} else {
stBuffer.append(c);
}
I looked over the web using google and didn't find it ... I began the work
with an hexadecimal editor, but a such table would be really usefull ! =)
The best would be a existing class, but I don't think it exists yet. If
someone need a such class, I'll send mine here once I will have finished
to code it.
Thanks,
Simon

Letter-spacing / kerning between words in PDFRenderer
Hi,
To begin with: we use FOP 0.20.4, and this mail is about a partly fix
for missing letter-spacing/kerning between words in PDF's.
In PDF's produced with FOP compared to PDF's from other an other source,
we noticed that FOP doesn't apply kerning (letter-spacing) to spaces
between words, most obviously at the end of sentences. I.e., no kerning
is applied to the character pairs
word-characterspace (for example, . ) and
spaceword-character (for example, V).
The cause, or in any case, the place where it can (partly?) be fixed,
can be found in the method renderWordArea(WordArea area) in
PDFRenderer.java.
The latter case (spaceword-character) I could easily fix. All I
had to do was move the lines
String s;
if (area.getPageNumberID()
!= null) {// this text is a page number, so resolve it
s = idReferences.getPageNumber(area.getPageNumberID());
if (s == null) {
s = ;
}
} else {
s = area.getText();
}
int l = s.length();
up a few lines so they precede 'if (!textOpen || bl != prevWordY)',
and add the following lines in the else-part of
'if (!textOpen || bl != prevWordY)':
if (kerningAvailable l 0) {
addKerning(pdf, (new Integer((int) ' ')),
(new Integer((int) area.getFontState().mapChar(s.charAt(0,
kerning, startText, endText);
}
I've attached the complete code of the method renderWordArea separately.
But..., that's only half of the solution! The first case
(word-characterspace) is more difficult. I think that in
renderWordArea we can not be sure that a space is following the word we
just rendered - or can we? And we don't have the last character of the
previous word available. Anyone has any ideas?

using FOP for docbook
for the folks who want to play along with testing what does and does not work with docbook-PDF rendering, one of the test environments i find useful is tim waugh's selfdocbookx example, that you can download from www.cyberelk.net/tim/docbook/index.html. at the bottom of that page, you can find a link to the source for the XML version, which is a tar ball containing a document, Makfile and associated support files from which you can easily generate HTML, FO and PDF. at the moment, the makefile uses passivetex for the FO and PDF transformations, and *that's* the part i'm replacing with FOP to see the difference. it's worth downloading that and seeing the FO and PDF generated by passivetex so you can compare it to what comes out of FOP, which is what i'm playing with at the moment. if you want to do this, you should make sure that you have the latest versions of docbook-style-xsl (1.60.1) passivetex (1.23) from tim's test environment, you can quickly see what parts FOP is having problems with. more later, as i poke around with this. rday - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all, I have been using FOP for more then a year and a half. Till now i needed to put something on the first page but not on the others, and i solved this with a variable. But as you all might know it's not really clean programming. So without having to define a new page-sequence, is there a way to find out if it's the first page or not? Remember i'm still using 0.20.3 -- upgrade to 0.20.5 will be for around may (i don't have the time now) thank you all...

I agree with Markus. FOP needs so much JARs and rendering PDF take so much ressources that I think it's better to do the transformations server side and then send the result to the client. That is my opinion about using FOP clientside with an applet (for web app, I think the servlet approach is better). But I already used command line version of FOP (clientside) integrated in my VB app using SHELL32.DLL, it is working well, we just had to deploy the proper JAR's over the network.

AW: FOP in production app
I use FOP on the client side. The application (not applet) offers templates for different kinds of documents e.g. invitations, advertisements etc. The user can enter text and choose from an image list (remote db and local files) and the app produces a pdf. In my case it was better to use fop on the client side because the images are rather big and once used are saved on the clients hard disk. So every subsequent use of the same template and pictures takes place on the client side with no further downloading. So far everything works fine with fop. But I can't tell you much about big documents because I only have single page documents. And there are only images and texts, so fop is sufficient for my needs. Compared to the prize of xep, I think fop is the library of choice. Alex -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Van Camp, Kenneth (Exchange) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

Rendering XSL FO -- PDF is a pretty complex task and I would be surprised if you find any simple applications to do it. By simple I mean apps that don't require that you have already installed a parser, etc. Adobe Document Server (http://www.adobe.com/products/server/documentserver/main.html) lists among its key features that it can Flow XML data into templates using standard XSL-FO formatting. This is only one of eleven key features so one can hardly say it is the main focus of the product but it seems like Adobe is paying some attention to rendering XSL FO. But this, like FOP, is a product intended for server-side use and for much the same reasons I suspect.

RE: FOP in production app (clienside)
We had the same needs, generate on-demand big PDF with some images (between 200 and 500 pages), fop is mostly used here by the employees in their usual apps, but there was also a few need for our websites' users. We first have integrated FOP in our front apps using SHELL32.DLL in Visual Basic environment. So we just had to deploy the JARs over the network and the renders were made by the clients. Then we made a servlet to integrate our work on the websites. If your clients are on a Windows platform, why don't you use a customised command line version of FOP which could be easily integrated into your client app ? As I said, we did that here, a command line version for the (lots of) client users here in the society, and a servlet embedded version for the (few) remote users.

tab characters alignment
Hi, does anybody know how FOP works with tab characters? I'm trying to generate a PDF file starting from a simple text which contains tab characters, and I want to keep them in the resulting PDF. I put the text into a block tag with the attribute white-space-collapse=false ( the text to be printed hasn't a standard format, so I can't use tables ) It seems that FOP recognize tabs but it simply replaces them with a fixed number of white spaces without any kind of consideration about horizontal alignment Thanks in advance Claudio - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: FOP in production app (clienside)
I use Java Web Start to deliver a Java application embedding FOP and it works great. I consider a one-time 5M download to be small these days, compared to lots of other internet practices people frequently use (like downloading game demos). Besides, you can quickly surpass 5M in PDF downloads by clients generating PDF files server-side, particularly if you're using any SVG. Rendering large FOP documents server-side (or client-side) is very resource-intensive, and it doesn't take much math to figure out that you will quickly need to have a number of servers to support any significant population of active users. For my purposes, the incremental cost associated with adding a new user under a server-side arrangement would exceed what I could charge them. Meanwhile, their CPUs would be sitting 99% idle waiting for the document to render on the server Patrick Rusk - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Installing to FOP / Tomcat
Hello, First I must admit that as far as getting this up and running I failed miserably and i'm having troubles finding a good guide to get this up and running. What i've tried to do is install jakarta-tomcat-4.1.18 on my win2k server. This seems to be working. As per the documentation on fop i simply 'dropped' fop.war from the /examples/servlet directory into the webapps directory in tomcat. This seem to 'extract' the war file into webapps/fop/. when i tried to access this from the server i couldn't access http://localhost:8080/fop/fop?blag : tomcat got mad at me. i checked in the tomcat web application manager and /fop was started so i stopped it and started it again. no luck. At this point i removed /fop from the web application manager and deleted the fop directory and tried to reextract the war manually into /webapps/fop thinking that this may help 'reinitialize' the automatic tomcat installation. This did not. Now fop is gone and i have not been able to bring it back. Yes i am new to all of this technology but I want to play with it. If anyone knows of any resources that better describe installing servlets for use with tomcat (maybe specifically FOP, but anything would do) that would be great. I've been cruising through documentation on this but most of the documentation seems to assume that this stuff just works; it has not. I have successfully used fop from the batch file but for my purposes i need this web enabled. A servlet would be nice to get running. Any help on this would be super appreciated, thanky you for u're time -Adam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: FOP in production app
FYI - we use FOP in an online production app to deliver on-demand print verions of our managment reports and lab reports. Our clients (drug companies) use the app to log on and see how their clinical trials are going. Luckily we haven't had much demand for large (50+ pages) PDFs or many medium-sized reports being run concurrently. If this demand ever does appear, we know we would have a major performance issue on our hands. We would have to create a task-scheduler to run larger reports during off-hours. We did test RenderX's product, XEP, and generally found performance the same or worse than FOP. Support was really spotty as well. One report took about 10 times longer on XEP than FOP. I emailed their sales address and made it clear that only chance these guys had for a sale was to help me figure out what was causing this gap. After a week or so wait, the president of the company called and told me to call tech support, but not to tell them he told me to call because they don't like that. Tech support finally said they couldn't help me. At $5000/CPU (not even purchased yet!) I was expecting a little more. It was kind of surreal. IMO anyone who thinks you are guranteed to get any kind of support after the contract is signed is living in the past. There are good companies out there (I would put BEA at the top of the list), but don't assume you're going to get top-notch support just because you spend some $$$ or sign a maintenance contract. I hope I don't sound too much like a commercial for FOP, but given this experience I'll take an open-source project with a dedicated user and dev community over a sketchy dotcom-ish company any day.

Also, if I understand you correctly, kerning should also be applied for the case (emDiff -33000), and text decoration position as well as the rx and word width should be compensated for the kerning. But..., that's only half of the solution! The first case (word-characterspace) is more difficult. Not really: keep the text of the last rendered word in lastWord or something and add the kerning correction to the current rx respective the space.

Is it and its children in the correct place according to the DTD? -Original Message- From: Adam Shelley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 3:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Installing to FOP / Tomcat Hello, thanks for the reply Phillip I just reinstalled tomcat (to start from scratch) and placed the war file in the webapps dir.

Re: tab characters alignment
On Wed, 2003-03-12 at 14:06, Claudio De Bernardi wrote: Hi, does anybody know how FOP works with tab characters? TAB characters are replaced with 8 white spaces. Effective width depends on the font used. I'm trying to generate a PDF file starting from a simple text which contains tab characters, and I want to keep them in the resulting PDF. I put the text into a block tag with the attribute white-space-collapse=false ( the text to be printed hasn't a standard format, so I can't use tables ) If you want to indent your text use start-indent attribute of fo:block. This is your only option if you can't use tables. It seems that FOP recognize tabs but it simply replaces them with a fixed number of white spaces without any kind of consideration about horizontal alignment You are right.

Whitespace treatment is detailed to some degree in http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#white-space-treatment Basically, the spec requires to treat tabs exactly like spaces.

xsl:fo to svg rendering with raster images
I tried to render my fo files to svg, which works fine for text. But none of the external images makes it to the svg file. Batik can produce image tags with links to external images. Is this a limitation in fop? (producing a pdf with the same fo file works fine). Regards Alex - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check whether the source URLs would work with an fo:external-graphic. You might need to use absolute URLs. Other possiblities: - The image file formats are not supported. I'm not sure but perhaps installing Jimi (see FOP FAQ) helps with this issue. - You forgot to declare the xlink namespace. A code sample would have helped in diagnosing the problem.
