Rows of tables don't line up
Apologies for such a helpless question. In the attached fo: doc, I am laying out 4 visible tables formatted inside another table. (I assume standard operating procedure for managing page layout.) The three right-most tables all have their rows lined up correctly with each other. I cannot figure out how to line up the left-most table with the others. I have tried playing with the font-size, line-height, space-after.optimum, etc. in different combinations but the left-most table just simply will not line up with the others. The clue is pretty clear -- the left-most table has text in cells and the others don't -- but I can't see how this should matter. Is there something else? Thanks very much in advance for any help. The doc follows (apologies for size, but I thought the whole doc might help): fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=first page-height =21cm page-width=29.7cm margin-top=1cm margin-bottom=2cm margin-left=2.5cm margin-right=2.5cm fo:region-body margin-top=3cm / fo:region-before extent=3cm / fo:region-after extent=1.5cm / /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=first fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block font-size=11pt font-family=sans-serif font-weight=bold text-align=left border-top-width=5px border-top-style=solid border-top-color=blue border-bottom-width=5px border-bottom-style=solid border-bottom-color=blue space-after.optimum =10ptMonthly Histogram for Apr 2003/fo:block fo:table border-collapse=separate fo:table-column column-width=36mm / fo:table-column column-width=4mm / fo:table-column column-width=61mm / fo:table-column column-width=4mm / fo:table-column column-width=83mm / fo:table-column column-width=4mm / fo:table-column column-width=61mm / fo:table-body fo:table-row fo:table-cell border-width =0.0mm border-style=solid background-color=white fo:table border-collapse=separate fo:table-column column-width=35mm / fo:table-body font-size=8pt font-family=sans-serif fo:table-row font-size=10pt font-family=sans-serif fo:table-cell background-color=aqua fo:block text-align=centerApplications/Systems/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell background-color=lightblue fo:block text-align=centerMONTH/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell background-color=blue fo:block color=white text-align=centerWEEK/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptACBS/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptACBS-ALPHA/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCARS/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCASSETT/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCFAS/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCHECK PROCESSOR/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCHINA EXIMBILLS/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCIF/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCLO/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block font-size=8ptCTDS/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row line-height=10pt fo:table-cell border-width=0.175mm border-style=solid background-color =white fo:block

The XML Bible was already on the list, but I did rework the whole thing today to link to both the online version the hardcopy version. - Definitive XSL-FO, by G. Ken Holman - ISBN: 0131403745 (Chapter 8 - Floats Footnotes online at Amazon) - XSL Formatting Objects, by Doug Lovell - ISBN: 0672322811 (Chapter 3 - Tools Implementations online at Amazon) I have added them. BTW, it'd be great to add Amazon.com links to the selected books which include donation information for FOP (or Apache or Jeremias--I'm pluggin' for ya!--or whomever?). That way, links to good books from the highly trafficked FOP Resources page could actually bring in a bit of $$ to help pay for coffee, Mtn Dew, donuts or paper? I am not sure what Apache's policies are, but my preference is to keep the links extremely professional. If we add Amazon links, do we need to add BN? What about Amazon UK or Amazon Japan? I don't think I want to go there. I think our users can probably figure out how to find their favorite online bookstore. (It is a good idea though -- feel free to raise it on the fop-dev mailing list if you feel strongly about it).

AW: automatic Page breaks on longer sections?
Hi! The XSL-FO solution to your problem is put keep-with-next=always on your heading blocks to ensure the text block always follows it or both are moved to the next page together. Unfortunately, keep-* properties are not implemented on fo:block in FOP yet. yes, i read this. Is there a time line, where is listed, when this function probably will be added? One work around, is to put all your block into a fo:table, since keep-* properties have been implemented on fo:table-row This don't really help on big documents. I thought, that this problem should have evrybody, and there may exists some others possibilities, like the use of vertical-align instead of baseline-shift.

J.Pietschmann wrote: EPS is supported, in some sense. FOP will basically dump it more or less unchanged into the PDF, and Acrobat Reader isn't able to display it. However, a PS printer will happily print the PDF including the EPS, and IIRC ghostscript will display it correctly. There's good information on SVG here (other graphic formats are on that page as well): http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#svg Doesn't cover the question (Why SVG is not resized). It is somewhat FAQish, should probably be added there. I just added (in CVS) a section on the graphics page, in the SVG section dealing with this issue. NOTE TO VICTOR: since/if EPS (Encapsulated PostSript) can be used by FOP (can it?), should it be added to the list? Certainly, with the caveats explained. (Why doesn't my EPS show up in Acrobat Reader? is almost a FAQ, nearly everyone first time facing the problems seems to wonder). I have added (in CVS) an EPS section to the graphics page documenting the limited support and the related issues.

Embedded OCR Font not embedding
Hello, I have followed the steps to set up for embedding an OCR font (True Type). The document generates fine (on our web server) and I can see the OCR fonts on one PC, but not on others. I think the PC that shows the font correctly is the one on which I initially built the userconfig file. I expected this font to be embedded in the PDF file so that it does not need to be installed on each target pc. Am I missing something in the setup? The font section of my userconfig is below.

Seeking advice on HSSF
Hi, I figured I'd ask this here just in case anyone had any opinions. We have a web-app which currently uses FOP in a servlet to generate PDFs. We are looking into using HSSF to generate .xls files in a similar fashion. Is anyone out there swapping FOP and HSSF like this? I've read all of the HSSF/POI and Cocoon-HSSF-Serializer stuff from the Apache site and I am still unclear on how I would go from XML to GMR (via XSLT) to .xls (via serializer) as I would with FOP. Do we have to go through cocoon? It seems like a lot of overhead for this one function. I know this is a little off topic but if any FOP people out here have experience on this I would really appreciate hearing it. thanks a lot, Matt Savino - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
