Re: request for java code snippet to XML-> XSL-FO -> PDF
Hello Robert,
You can find a full example in our current release:
{fop directory}\examples\
embedding\java\embedding\ExampleXML2PDF.java.
To compile and run this example, it would be best to
have Apache Ant on your machine. The build.xml file
is at {fop directory}\examples\embedding. From that
directory, just type "ant" to compile the Java file,
and "ant example3" to run the above Java application.
Thanks,
Glen

Re: Problem with scaling png image file in svg section
Thanks Chris. I tried with Batik Squiggle for the png images. If I does not use , the png image looks good in the GUI, it does get scaled properly. But image with scale() transform attribute losses quality, and the png file generated by Squiggle is in bad quality. I am also sending the email to batik-user mail list. Hope Batik team can also help. Attache please find a svg file , a source png file and generated png file. Thanks a lot.

Does it look okay there. If not, then this question should really be directed at the Batik guys, because FOP uses Batik to handle its SVG. If it does look okay in squiggle, then there could be an issue in FOP's SVG-PDF Transcoder. One other question: Does the image inside the SVG look okay if you dont specify width and height attributes on svg:image?

I don't think it's the tomcat issue, it takes a long time the first time even when I call it from a java class (if the class creates a pdf then creates another one before exiting, the second one is much faster).

Re: Why is FOP MUCH slower the first time than all other runs?
No, it's not in FOP. George is on the right track and Robert is not that far away IMO. FOP is a relatively big package and with a number of dependecies. Lots of classes take a lot of time to load. After loading they need to be initialized and then the JIT (Just in time Compiler) clicks in and compiles some of the often used Java byte code to native code on the fly. This is commonly called virtual machine warm-up. Once it's warmed up it gets real fast. The caching comment from Robert if rephrased points to another possible speed difference between the first and the second run. FOP caches images. So if you use the same images in many documents FOP can reuse the already loaded images. Loading images takes quite some time. Every program will need some time to ramp up in the beginning, be it written in Java or any other language. In Java this may be a bit more distinctive due to class loading and VM warm-up. So, I don't think there is a way to fix this. It's pretty common knowledge that you have to let the VM warm up before performance benchmarks (as an example) can be done (at least on the Java platform). This fact can be a problem for people using the FOP command-line very often as they have to endure the VM warm-up every time.

One way to work around, you can write an init servlet to load these jars when you start Tomcat.
