[ANN] Apache FOP 0.95 Released
Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by XSL Formatting Objects [1] and an output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, Print and TIFF/PNG. Apache FOP is Open Source software and published under the Apache License v2.0. It took longer than expected but we're happy to present the final Apache FOP 0.95 stable release. This is basically a bugfix release to 0.95beta. The most important changes since the previous stable release (0.94) are: - many bug fixes and improvements in tables, better support for keeps and breaks, new features: conditional borders and background on columns and header/footer/body; - better image handling thanks to the new image loading framework provided by the Apache XML Graphics Commons dependency; - improvements and bugfixes for font handling and font auto-detection/-registration; - performance improvements and memory optimizations for the property handling in the FO tree. - elimination of a potential multi-threading problem. - some feature enhancements for RTF output (partial fo:leader support, fo:page-number-citation) Please note that support for Java 1.3 has been dropped. Only one type of binaries is provided now, that will run on 1.4+ JREs. Other important release notes are available at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/releaseNotes_0.95.html For a more complete list of changes, please visit http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/changes_0.95.html For download information, see the following page: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/download.html [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/ On behalf of the Apache XML Graphics team, Jeremias Maerki pgptJG4dMpMkc.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Embedding Fonts
I'm not aware of such problems. When FOP is run from the command-line, it just runs once and there are no such problems. The way FOP is called is quite similar to when it's embedded in a servlet. But then, what does it only works the second time mean? Are there error messages the first time? If yes, which? Have you tried with different browsers? My gut feeling is that you've either got a problem in your servlet code or a communication problem between the browser and the servlet. Please make sure you've read the tips on this page: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/servlets.html On 05.08.2008 19:52:15 John T wrote: Hello.

Re: Can FOP use a Rendered/BufferedImage rather than a JPEG or GIF? (was: Can FOP render my PNG's with transparent backgrounds)
Please don't hijack threads, or at least change the subject. Thanks! To your question: I assume, by Java image, you mean a BufferedImage or a RenderedImage? At the moment, this is not implemented, although the new image loading framework is prepared to support it. The easiest way is to use ImageIO to save the bitmap to a PNG and to pass it to FOP either through a servlet or a custom URIResolver.

Hi, Kamal Bhatt wrote: snip/ Also, I want subsequent pages to have the same height, how can I achieve this? If you mean that the content should always end at a same distance from the bottom of each page (‘justified’ pages), then you have to insert elastic spaces between blocks, like this: fo:block space-after.minimum=10pt space-after.optimum=12pt space-after.maximum=20pt etc... (Also works on fo:table.) Spaces will then be stretched so that the bottom of the content coincides with the bottom of the region-body on each page.

Re: FOP - FONTS - expl. verdana
Why don't you make your life easier and upgrade to Apache FOP 0.95 and use the directory tag to automatically register your fonts in FOP? http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#basics No more XML font metric files and font base URL. Just: directoryC:\Program Files\fop\fonts_lea/directory (not possible with 0.20.5) Otherwise, I'd replace all the backslashes with slashes in your file URL. URLs use forward slashes. Only Windows file paths use backslashes. Not that this is likely the problem here but who knows. file:///C:/Program%20Files/fop/fonts_lea On 06.08.2008 11:06:49 lmhelp wrote: Thank you again for your answer. Awfully weird, though. Yes...

If you did and it didn't work, add the auto-detect tag: fonts directoryC:/Program Files/fop-0.95/fonts_lea//directory auto-detect /fonts Also, if the font is in C:\Windows\Fonts, then you might not even need the directory tag, as I would imagine that C:\Windows\Fonts is one of the standard locations checked when auto-detect is enabled. 2) Maybe it does not like the space in Program Files. Try the short name instead: C:/Progra~1/fop-0.95_lea I don't think that the trailing / is necessary, but don't quote me.

Re: Embedding Fonts
Sounds as if the configuration isn't set soon enough. Please make sure you instantiate the FopFactory at servlet startup and that you also set the configuration on the FopFactory at this time. Then, each time the servlet is called, just create a new Fop instance using that factory. Without seeing your servlet code it's difficult to pinpoint. The above is just wild guessing. At any rate, it should not be necessary to run FOP twice just to get the fonts embedded. That would be very bad.

Have you tried with different browsers? Please make sure you've read the tips on this page:http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/servlets.html Sorry for not being clear in my first post. What I mean to say is that the very first time it is called, the fonts I have embedded (CenturySchoolbook and Arial) do not show up in the generated PDF. Instead, the default font shows up. However, the second time I call the servlet, the correct font does show up. These error messages are being generated: WARNING: Font 'CenturySchoolbook,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400'. Aug 5, 2008 4:55:30 PM org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement WARNING: Font 'CenturySchoolbook,normal,700' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,700'. Aug 6, 2008 9:09:31 AM org.apache.fop.fonts.FontInfo notifyFontReplacement WARNING: Font 'Arial,normal,400' not found. Substituting with 'any,normal,400'. I have tried with Firefox and IE - the behaviour is the same. The only solution I have found is to call the code (in the servlet) that generates the PDF twice; the first time using org.apache.commons.io.output.NullOutputStream() and the second time sending the output to the browser. While this solution works, I'd like to figure out why this behaviour is occuring. Thanks, John On 05.08.2008 19:52:15 John T wrote: Hello. I am embedding fonts in my PDF and it seems to be working.

Using TTFReader to Create Font Metrics
I installed fop-0.94 binaries and the org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader binary is apparently not included. I installed the fop-0.94 SOURCE and I now have the entire set of source file including: TTFReader.java. How do I go about compiling the source library so that I can create the font metrics file (.xml)? I plan to use the command as specified in the docs: java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\commons-logging.jar;lib\commo ns-io.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader myfont.ttf newfont.xml Thanks. Jeff
Re: Embedding Fonts
Yes. You might also want to look at our demo servlet: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/src/java/org/apache/fop/servlet/FopServlet.java?view=markup On 06.08.2008 20:03:46 John T wrote: This was the issue. I am now instantiating the FopFactory in the init() method of the servlet as well as setting the configuration there as well. Is this considered best practices for using Fop in a servlet? Jeremias Maerki-2 wrote: Sounds as if the configuration isn't set soon enough. Please make sure you instantiate the FopFactory at servlet startup and that you also set the configuration on the FopFactory at this time. Then, each time the servlet is called, just create a new Fop instance using that factory. Without seeing your servlet code it's difficult to pinpoint. The above is just wild guessing. At any rate, it should not be necessary to run FOP twice just to get the fonts embedded. That would be very bad.

I do not know if you are joking or not but Windows unfortunately does. That's a common confusion: Most Windows programs interpret quotes in command lines, config files, registry keys and similar places where whitespace may be significant as a parameter separator. This is similar to the interpretation of quotes by the Unix shell. This doesn't make the quotes part of the pathname, nor does it indicate that the mechanism can be universally applied.
