How turn off logger?

2004-02-06 Thread Robert Paris
How do I turn off the logger? Or at least turn off logging to the console? 
Also, are there any performance tips anyone can give? The generation of a 
PDF from a .fo file is a bit slow.

from the same link,
If you want FOP to be totally silent you can also set an
org.apache.avalon.framework.logger.NullLogger instance

For info about how to turn off logging, or using a different logger - you
should check out these links:

Why is FOP MUCH slower the first time than all other runs?

2004-02-06 Thread Robert Paris
I'm using FOP from a servlet in Tomcat. The first time I run FOP (using 
Driver to render a dpf - is that the best way?), it's VERY slow. However, 
every time after that, it's very fast. Does anyone know why? What can I do 
to fix this?

2004-02-06 Thread Robert Paris
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). It's got 
to be in the FOP. Is there a way to fix this?

its prob has something to do with caching
of with the fact that reflection is used
first time to find calss and instantiate it,
but there after its in the class loader
could add a context listener to tomcat startup
and it does the first xform on container startup

I have seen a pdf2svg tool that can convert your PDF to SVG, which FOP can 
read.  Then put your information on top of that.

I have only tested this as a proof-of-concept in case we needed to do the 
same.

How Generate .fo file from PDF?

2004-02-04 Thread Robert Paris
Can I generate a .fo file from a pdf file? Essentially going backwards?
If not, does anyone know of a good source for doing that with Java?

Probably not in any realistically useful way. People on this list
can point you to software that can read the text in a PDF. From that
point you could start to construct XML files, but this is probably
not something you want to undertake lightly.
Thanks, I would like to hear about those other options from people.
Can you also tell me why you think it's unlikely to be useful? Why is it so 
hard to go back to fo or XML from PDF if the PDF structure fits so well 
with fo/xml?

The conclusion seems to be 'don't even think about it'.
Of course - it didn't dawn on me that PDF's have everything absolutely 
positioned - basically as though it were an image (of course with vector 
graphics). Yikes.

Here's the problem/need. I have users who know how to create PDFs and MS 
Word documents (only by using MS Word though). They CANNOT use XML or 
anything remotely like they - they need buttons to click and boxes to fill 
out. However, they need to be able to create templates for future PDFs (to 
be run through my program) from the Word or PDF documents they created. In 
other words, they can tell me, This is what I want it to look like, only 
by showing me the actual Word or PDF document. Then they have every section 
of text as changeable (that part's not a problem). HOWEVER, they need to be 
able to do this in real time - without needing to have me create an XML file 
that does what their PDF/Word doc has.

The problem is I don't know of any Word reader that's really working 
(Apache's POI Word is not working), and from what you're telling me, reverse 
engineering a PDF is pretty much impossible. Does anyone have a solution?


Of course, you may have no choice.
