Absolute positioning and images
Hi - Am investigating FOP as an alternative to our current PDF solution, Itext. I have done some research but cannot see from the FAQ etc and googling Can I absolutely position (to pixel positions) text on a pdf with FOP? I need to absolutely position text on the pdf ontop of a background image with any library I can consider as a replacement for Itext. I am using the PDFContentByte in Itext to do this absolute positioning. Thanks in advance Andrew This e-mail, and any attachment, is confidential.

AW: Absolute positioning and images
Hi Andrew, Yes, you can. As long as you do not need to know the width or height of a published block, I haven't found anything iText can do and Fop can't. And I transfer a creation engine for 1.3K pages catalogues.

You want to use an absolutely-positioned block-container element: fo:block-container absolute-position=absolute top=10pt left=10pt fo:blockText in an absolutely-positioned block-container.../fo:block /fo:block-container Note that positions in pixels don’t have much meaning in PDF. You usually set the size of the document in cm, mm or pt, and position objects in the PDF likewise.

RE: Superscripts at beginning of line not working
I don't have 0.20.5, but have you tried putting a zero-width space (#x200b;) in front of the inline? It can't make it any worse. Eric Amick Legislative Computer Systems Office of the Clerk -Original Message- From: adogg [mailto:andrew_stee...@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 3, 2009 6:25 To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Superscripts at beginning of line not working I'm using FOP 0.20.5 (it's not possible for me to upgrade) and I'm having a problem with superscripting text when it falls at the beginning of a line. I use fo:inline vertical-align=super to do the superscript, but when the superscripted character is the first one in a line, the character is not elevated above the others. It's pretty simple to recreate - here are the fo and pdf files: http://cid-ecea845b36037b38.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/fo-super script-problem.xml http://cid-ecea845b36037b38.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/output.p df I can't believe that no one has come across this before, but I searched Google and the mailing lists and haven't seen anything about it. Has anyone seen it or done a workaround for it? Maybe another way to do superscripts? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Superscripts-at-beginning-of-line-not-working-tp24 788408p24788408.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
Supporting Pages of Different Widths – Testers W anted!
Dear FOP Community, As some of you may know we are currently working towards fixing one of FOP’s major remaining issues: its inability to handle sequences of pages with different widths. At the moment, the width of the first page of an fo:page-sequence is used for the whole sequence, even if later pages have different widths (for example, switching from portrait to landscape orientation). There is ongoing work on the creation of a new layout engine that will be able to overcome this limitation, but it will still take some time to finish it, and meanwhile that feature lack is becoming more and more annoying. So we decided to implement a cheap, limited fix that should make a majority of users happy, while leaving us time to implement the new approach. The changes that have been made to the code are very hacky and we would like to get some feedback on them before making an official release. Therefore I would like to ask everyone on this list who is interested in this new feature to download the binary and test it with their own files. Please report any issue that you may find on this list, with a sample FO file (please send the file directly to me if it’s big or confidential). I’ve set up a web page providing some explanation and links to the binaries: http://people.apache.org/~vhennebert/ChangingIPDHack/ PLEASE NOTE: the binaries are being made available through my personal space at people.apache.org. They are not replicated over the Apache mirrors like releases. Therefore, in order to save bandwidth please download them only for the purpose of testing the new feature. For all other cases please use the usual download links provided on FOP’s website [1]. Thank you. The page above also lists known limitations, that I’m reproducing here for convenience: - Tables and lists are not supported: they won’t be re-laid out according to the new width, but will simply be left as they are. This means that some content may be silently clipped when switching to a page with a narrower width (for example, from landscape to portrait). In the opposite situation (portrait to landscape), the table or list will not cover the whole width of the page. Layout will be re-launched at the first element that is not enclosed by a table or a list. All other FO elements implemented in FOP Trunk should support the width change. - In addition to not being re-laid out, a table or list that is broken over two pages of different widths may have its border- and padding-before wrong. The .conditionality component will be interpreted as retain even when left to its default value of discard. - Also, the space-before of the first element following the table or list will be discarded, as if the element were starting the page. The workaround is to set its space-before.conditionality component to retain. - There is likely to be memory and performance issues, as every time a page with a different width is encountered, all the content that remains to be laid out will be thrown away until the end of the page-sequence, and re-generated according to the new width. If no big issues have been found, the changes will be integrated into the next release of FOP (which will hopefully happen soon...).
