margins

[Rick Roen]

FOP trunk

 

I’m confused by the page margins I am
getting with the xslt below.

 

I would like to get 1cm margins on all sides with
the footer taking 5mm and the body above that by 5mm.

 

What I am getting when I render to a pdf is 1cm
top, approx 1.5cm right and left, and about 2.5cm bottom. The printer has a
small margin, but it is an ink-jet, so it is minimal.

 

Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

You need to set the format property on fo:page-sequence, i.e.

Under FOP 0.9x, you can use the format property on (same as in xslt on
xsl:number)

Under FOP 0.2x... Need to upgrade!

Re: FOP or batik problems to convert fo files

[harinisrinivas]

I am encountering a problem while generating the pdf..
This is the error i am getting..

org/apache/batik/util/XMLResourceDescriptor 
org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping.setupSVG SVGElementMapping.java(72)

I earlier encountered a similar NoClassDef Found error for a different file.For 
which i replaced the existing batik.jar with the version 1.5-fop-0.20-5. Now i 
am getting this.Any suggestions?

RE: TTF and OTF fonts in FOP 0.92

[Debasish Jana]

Hi:

Many thanks for your prompt reply. We have another observation. If we embed
a TTF font while rendering PDF through FOP, and if don't embed the TTF font,
there is a difference noticed. If the PDF reader takes up font from
installed fonts (in case desired font is not embedded), the font looks
better (and different) than the case when the font is embedded.

Our question is whether during rendering embedding is causing this
difference. What could be a workaround in case we want embedding of the
desired font looking like exactly same when picked up from installed fonts
(unembedded case).

Thanking you in advance,

Regards,

Debasish Jana

Is this "smooth text" option an option in Acrobat Reader? If so,
that's not a problem with FOP but rather with the combination of the
font, your display and/or the graphics driver, and perhaps Acrobat
Reader itself.

Well, I used to associate "smoothing" for fonts with "anti-aliasing".
This is known to give bad results under for some fonts on mainstream
computer displays and certain other circumstances. A font with
"Condensed" in its name is a candidate for such a situation, for
reasons given further down.

The print-out should be ok, because printers generally have a much
higher resolution than computer displays.

I don't think there is anything FOP can do in this situation. If you
want good results on a computer display, use a font which has a stroke 
width of at least one display pixel for mainstream displays (a 19"
at 1280x1024 has ~84dpi) for common font sizes (12pt). The letters
should mainly use exactly horizontal and vertical strokes. Thin,
slightly slanted lines fare horrible if anti-aliasing is enabled.

> Another question, is FOP 0.92 using SVG to render fonts in PDF?

That's a strange question. Why do you ask this? And no, FOP doesn't
render fonts in regular FO content at all; rather, the glyph definitions
are embedded (for user fonts) into the PDF. Rendering is done by the PDF
viewer, which usually delegates the job to the graphics system on the
host machine.

> Also, how do I incorporate OTF?

OTF is an enhancement of the TTF format. You can try to handle it
exactly like a TTF, i.e. generating a metrics file using TTFFile
etc. If you get an error (likely), the answer is "no chance, pal".
Note that not getting an error while generating a metrics file
doesn't necessarily mean all is well.
Some font editors are said to be able to downgrade OTF fonts to TTF
automatically with reasonably good results, you might want to ask
on an appropriate forum.
