RE: Batch Generation of PDF's

Title: Message



You 
could always try calling the garbage collector after each loop.  Though the 
JVM does not have to do anything it might help reduce some of the 
memory.

  Generation of PDF's
  
  Hi,
   
  I've been creating PDF's with FOP 
  for a while now, and recently I've had to create 1000+ every night in a batch 
  process based on values in a database. So I have written a class which queries 
  the database and passes all the necessary parameters (like which XSL file, XML 
  file, and config file to use, and PDF file to write to) to an edited version 
  of the Example class that comes with fop-0.20.5 
  (embedding\ExampleXML2PDF.java). So I instantiate that class in my new class 
  which queries the database, and in a while(rs.next()){} loop it just calls the 
  method in the Example class 1000+ times.
   
  My problem however is that it 
  slowly it eats up more and more memory. So after 500 pdf's or so its used more 
  then the 500MB that I'm allowing the JVM to use and it dies with the following 
  error:
   
  Exception in thread "main"   java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
      
  <>
      
  
  Has anyone else successfully 
  generated many PDF's in a batch like this? And if so did you have to do   something to keep the memory from creeping upwardly? Does anyone have any 
  suggestions about what I can do to make sure each iteration of the loop and 
  hence each PDF doesn’t result in things being left in 
  memory?
   
  Thank you for any guidance you can 
  provide.
   
  Adrian.

RE: xlink problem

2004-01-12 Thread Chris Adams
You have used the namespace xlink within the document, but have probably
not declared a uri for it.  You need to add an attribute like
xmlns:xlink="http://something.somewhere.org"; either to the root node or
at the level where you need the name space.

I've not used this before at all, but a brief search on google found the

I think these has been some confusion, but from what I gather you are
using FOP to generate a TIFF file.

How are you using FOP to generate the TIFF, as I do not see it as one of
the output options on the website?

In either case, you may have to do some post-processing on the image to
reduce the image size.

The only way to reduce the image size is to do it manually using image
manipulation programs before running FOP. FOP embeds all images "as is".
FOP might provide functions like that in the future but there are
currently no plans.

RE: attribute-set

2003-11-24 Thread Chris Adams
An xsl:attribute-set must always be a child of the xsl:stylesheet
element.  This is part of th xslt specification, which is different from
the fo specification.






You must then correctly adjust your xpaths in your xsl:value-of statemen
to select the correct values.  I would think the error you are getting
below is that it is creating an attribute set, but with invalid values.
You need to run this through an xslt processor outside of fop to
separate your xslt issues from fo issues.

I just tried moving the  so that it sat directly
below the first and only  entry.  The hierarchy with these
amendments is as follows :

xsl:stylesheet
- xsl:output
- - xsl:template
- - - fo:root
- - - - xsl:attribute-set
- - - - fo:layout-master-set
- - - - - fo:simple-page-master
- - - - fo:page-sequence
- - - - - fo:flow
- - - - - - BLOCKS ETC ETC


Unfortunately this resulted in exactly the same problem as before (where
the  was defined directly above the block that used
it.

If I take the  any higher in the xsl hierarchy I get
the following errors in FOP :

file:///E:/xsl-fo/attribute-set-test.xsl; Line 6; Column 37; font-size
has an illegal attribute: {1} file:///E:/xsl-fo/attribute-set-test.xsl;
Line 7; Column 39; font-weight has anillegal attribute: {1}
file:///E:/xsl-fo/attribute-set-test.xsl; Line 8; Column 38; text-align
has an illegal attribute: {1}

Therefore the set isn't defined and everything uses default/defined
settings.

It looks like you have the xsl:attribute-set as a child of the fo:flow.
I believe it needs to be a child of the root document to work correctly.

Well I did as you suggested and ran the files through xalan I have
included the data files and the xalan outputs below.  What seems to be
happening is that when FOP/XALAN processes the files rather then but the
parameters into the fo:block that calls them it insert into the fo:flow
section, so if I do not define an attribute on another block it is
overridden with the attribute-set parameters.

RE: Merging XML and FO files

2003-11-20 Thread Chris Adams
No it should work as written.

Because when the xslt processor is the template that matches on tubby,
its context is its tubby node.

So you just need to select the value of the name child

That's an interesting way of doing this, and will probably come in handy
for the documents I need to produce.  Thanks a lot.

To get the code to work I needed to change this slightly:

What I did find is that this only prints the first tubby value found
inside data/repeater.  Is there a way to get all the values (I did
notice that I could use for-each inside the xsl:template to do this)

Subject: Scaling images


Sorry if this question is asked alot but I'm having difficulty with
images.

I was given an example layout by someone to turn into a PDF using FOP. I
took the image out of the Word Document they sent me and added it as an
external graphic to my fo file. However when it is generated it is
slightly bigger (about 20% or so) than the original and it looks jagged.
Is there anything I can do about this? I've tried specifying its size
based upon the its dimensions but this makes no difference. Any comments
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Richard Sweeney

Rendering of GIF Images.

2003-11-13 Thread Chris Adams
Title: Rendering of GIF Images.






I'm not sure if this is a bug or just my misunderstanding of how the rendering of GIF images work.


However when I have a GIF that has a colour table where there are two items in the table with the same RGB colour.  However one of the items is marked as the transparent colour.  E.g. I have two black colours in my table, and the first black index is set as the transparent colour.

When this is rendered into a PDF, all black items are rendered as transparent even though they use the black index that is not the transparent colour.

Is this the expected behaviour, is the gif file incorrectly created ie can you not have two indexes with the same colour, or is it a bug with FOP.

Thanks for your help.

RE: Problem with inserting images

2003-11-13 Thread Chris Adams
Patrick,

It is my understanding the FOP does not support the content-height and
content-width attributes, only width and height.

Not sure if this will solve you problem though.

Subject: Problem with inserting images


Hi everyone,

I just started using XSL-FO and fop. I am trying to generate a pdf file 
which contains jpg files. Those images are always inserted in a parent 
component (I guess something like a viewport). I need to set a height 
for this viewport (view_height).

I need to be able to display them in the following 2 cases:

case 1: the image's height is greater than view_height. In that case 
the image has to scale in order to fit in its view_height. I succeeded 
in doing that. I did something like (where 100px is the height of my 
viewport):







case 2: if view_height is greater than the image's height, then I want 
to display the image at its actual size and display it at the center of 
its viewport. Doing something like this does not work:






|   __ |
|   | | |
|   |  image  | |
|   ___ |
|___|

What I am missing? Thanks for any help.

Patrick

RE: Black Text Missing in GIF's rendered in PDF's

2003-11-12 Thread Chris Adams
Thanks for your reply.  I think it is related to the issue that
transparent GIF's appear with a black background when printed from the
PDF. 

I'm looking into whether the GIF file itself is corrupt, and is causing
the problem, but would appreciate anyone else's experience on this
issue.


Chris.

It's hard to say what happens here without actually getting such a GIF.
One possiblity is that the black color actually isn't black, perhaps
transparent.

Black Text Missing in GIF's rendered in PDF's

2003-11-11 Thread Chris Adams
Hi,

An issue was raised on here before regarding the rendering of GIF images
into a PDF, in that anything that was black did not appear in the PDF.

I could not find a resolution to the problem in the archieves, so does
anyone know if it was resolved or had a similar experience.

Any help would be appreciated.

Chris
