use already existing PDF for XSL:FO
Hello lists, I know it's probably not the right list. situation: on a client i have a C++ application that creates a pdf by list labels. the data from the client application ist transferd by webservice to a server, the server make out of the object an xml file. problem: Can I make a XSL:FO out of the PDF that already exists? otherwise I have to recreate the layout, structure and design of the document. thanks for your help with kind regards Peter Reiner - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Peter, i don't think that's possible to get a xsl-fo file of a pdf.

region-before not displayed
The default font size is 12pt or ~4.23mm. FOP allocates additional ~20% space above and below the glyph marks, for a total of 5.08mm. This means the text wont fit into a region 5mm high, but will be displayed in a region which is 5.1 mm high. J.Pietschmann You gave me the exact reason I was searching for. I really thank you at all!

Emulate keep-with-next.within-page
Hi, As most of you know, the keep-directives only work with table workaround. So my question is, if i can create a xslt template for this: h1title/h1 pblah blub/p So that h1 never breaks with the next element. I have working templates für h1 and p. I am no XSLT expert so maybe anyone did that before ... Thx in advance. -- Sönke - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is a bit like asking if you can reverse engineer some assembly code into C++. Except its probably more complicated. The tool would have to examine PDF commands like rectangle (125, 60, 100, 100) and decide what XSL-FO element could have created that result! And for this reason, there are currently no tools available to do it. Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there!
Sorry for this newbie post..I'm new with FOP. Here are my needs: I have some HTML files and some TIFF file and I have to combine this all files in a big PDF. HTML files are dinamically built by my application, and this html files should alternate with the tiff files. I saw that for tiff files support there is a special tool, tiffrender. Could I make this possible? And another thing...the fianl PDF _MUST_ have page numbering. Thanks for your advice! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FOP PDF with images from eXist database
I'm having problems with creating PDF's that contain images from the eXist database. I use the FOP servlet from Cocoon 2.1.5.1 and I am able to create PDF's that contain images from different sources, i.e. fo:external-graphic src=url(http://localhost:8080/logo.jpg)/ works fine. But when I want to access the image in my fo.xml file in order to create a PDF: fo:external-graphic src=url(http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/test.gif)/ The system doesn't respond. The memory usage for java.exe in the taskmanager gets bigger and bigger and I have to kill the process. When I access the same image within a normal HTML file, it works fine: img src=http://localhost:8080/exist/servlet/db/test.gif; What am I doing wrong? I couldn't find anything interesting in the log files. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
HTML + TIFF = PDF (was Re: Hi there!)

Just read up on FOP to find out how (along with any issues involved). However, TiffRenderer is used for outputting XSL-FO files to TIFF--not for using TIFF as input[3].

Perhaps the I_USR (or whoever) when accessing directly has the privilege to access, but java.exe process does not? Have you checked the images graphics FAQ items? Here's a link[1] but don't stop there. There are plenty of other questions there dealing with images graphics. TIP: Try searching for 'graphic' and also 'image' if you don't find what you were looking for?

So my question is, if i can create a xslt template for this:

So that h1 never breaks with the next element. I have working templates für
h1 and p.
I am no XSLT expert so maybe anyone did that before ...
You have to create a blind table, enclosing the two elements:
fo:table table-layout=fixed width=100%
fo:table-column column-width=proportional-column-width()/
fo:table-body
fo:table-row keep-with-next=always
fo:table-cell
fo:blocktitle/fo:block
/fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row
fo:table-row
fo:table-cell
fo:blockblah blub/fo:block
/fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row
/fo:table-body
/fo:table
If you want to keep all h1 elements with the following element, you have
1. Process the following element from the template which processes the
h1
2. Somehow arrange the elements following a h1 aren't processed twice.
How to do either depends on how you process the sourcce in general.
For the first, you can start with
template match=h1
fo:table table-layout=fixed width=100%
fo:table-column column-width=proportional-column-width()/
fo:table-body
fo:table-row keep-with-next=always
fo:table-cell
whatever you need to process the h1 content here...
/fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row
fo:table-row
fo:table-cell
xsl:apply-templates select=following-sibling::*/
/fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row
/fo:table-body
/fo:table
The second point is trickier. The most easy way is to exclude
the elements following h1 elements in the apply-templates of
the parent element:
xsl:apply-templates
select=*[not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::h1])]/
There are various other possiblities, ranging from moded templates
to using control parameters. There is no universal best solution.
