RE: Help: XSL to PCL
Well one of the first things you would need to do is configure the pcl renderer in the config file. http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/configuration.html#pcl-renderer and be aware of the restrictions http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/output.html#pcl Kindest regards Theresa Forster Senior Software Developer

If you are having a problem, then describing the problem would be helpful, e.g. if you get an error then posting the stack will help others to guide you. Can anyone help me? Send examples? The FOP distribution includes an example of how to render XML+XSL to PDF from a Java application in fop\examples\embedding\java\embedding\ExampleXML2PDF.java. Changing this example to generate PCL is a simple one line change to the following line: Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, out); Changing it to: Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PCL, foUserAgent, out); Note that there is an image in the PDF generated, so I'm using the tag . and works good!

Re: Placing external graphics
On 25/08/2011 22:25, Samuel Penn wrote: Hi, Hello, I'm having some issues with the placement of images with external-graphic. The graphic (a jpeg) is being inserted into a text flow in one column of a two column page layout (i.e., it's not meant to spread across multiple text columns). What happens, is that the correct amount of whitespace is reserved for the image, but the bottom of the image is aligned with the top of where it should be, so the image overwrites the text paragraph immediately above it. This is happening with several of the inserted images (the one that works is quite small). I'm using FOP 0.95 on Linux (Ubuntu 11.4). On a previous computer, using theoretically the same stylesheets and FOP version, the images seemed to be placed correctly, so I'm not sure what's changed. Have you tested your XSL-FO on FOP v1.0? There have been a lot of fixes between 1.0 and 0.95, some of them relates to multi-column layout. The XML looks something like this: Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah...

Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... Blah blah blah blah blah blah... What renders, is the first paragraph, the image overlaid on top of it, a chunk of whitespace (equal in size to the image), then the second paragraph. Difficult to tell what could be the problem from a snippet of the FO. You could try taking out the space-before/after attributes in case that causes some problems within multi-column layouts. If that still fails on FOP 1.0, could you send us a trimmed down XSL-FO File that demonstrates the issue?

Building fop from source using qdox 1.11
Dear all, I am trying to build fop from source using qdox 1.11. On my debian system here is what I did: $ wget http://mir2.ovh.net/ftp.apache.org/dist//xmlgraphics/fop/source/fop-1.0-src.tar.gz $ tar xfz fop-1.0-src.tar.gz $ cd fop-1.0 $ export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/qdox.jar:/usr/share/java/commons-io.jar $ ant resourcegen This leads to the following error (*). I would like to know whether: - building fop from source using qdox version != 1.6.3 is actually supported ? - did anyone tried to compile fop with a more recent qdox version ?

Re: Building fop from source on debian
Simon,
Thanks again for your kind response. I believe we are going away
from the actual issue I am seeing. I do not believe this is related to
the Linux distribution used but to whether or not one can use a newer
qdox version to build fop or not. See my recent post.
Thanks again

XSL-FO to PCL
Hi, I'm having problems converting PCL file created from XML and XSL files using FOP in JAVA. Does anyone have examples in java? I am using a Java class to generate PDF from an XSL and XML. Now, I need to generate PCL with these XSL and XML files. I read something about this in Graphic Library "fop" org.apache.fop.render.pcl, but I'm not succeeding. Note: 1) there is an image in the PDF generated, so I'm using the tag . and works good! 2) I am using FOP 1.0 Thanks Everson

I took the source code of fop-1.0, replaced lib/build/qdox-1.6.3.jar with lib/build/qdox-1.12.jar, and ran ant compile and ant junit. Both were successfull.

Re: Building fop from source using qdox 1.11
Earlier I wrote: I took the source code of fop-1.0, replaced lib/build/qdox-1.6.3.jar with lib/build/qdox-1.12.jar from fop's development code, and ran ant compile and ant junit. Both were successfull. There is a warning about a deprecated method, but that is not fatal. The answer to your question is: yes, fop-1.0 can be successfully built with qdox-1.12. I now did as you describe below, on a debian testing system, and got your error indeed. >ls -l /usr/share/java/qdox.jar lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 mei 3 23:53 /usr/share/java/qdox.jar -> qdox-1.12.jar Conclusion: There is a difference between lib/build/qdox-1.12.jar in fop's development code and /usr/share/java/qdox-1.12.jar in debian testing. Looking at the code, the NPE is generated by the call method.getReturns().isVoid(). method is not null, because it has been referenced in the preceding line. So method.getReturns() is null. method.getReturns() is the deprecated method, but one would expect that such a method would always return a non-null object, since any method has a return type, even if void. You can check why debian's qdox-1.12 is different from fop's, or patch fop's code at org.apache.fop.tools.EventProducerCollector.createMethodModel(EventProducerCollector.java:142) (src/codegen/java/org/apache/fop/tools/EventProducerCollector.java) to use method.getReturnType() instead of method.getReturns(). FOP's development code uses method.getReturnType() and qdox-1.12.

Re: Building fop from source using qdox 1.11
Hi Simon, Great we are making some progress. Since you are using debian, this will be even easier. Try the attached script. If you are on a debian machine with: $ apt-cache policy libqdox-java libqdox-java: Installed: 1.12-1 You should quickly discover that indeed qdox-1.12 from debian allows proper compilation of fop, *if and only if* copied to lib/build. When using the second version (via export CLASSPATH), one indeed get the error you have seen. I could even reproduce the error using some precompile qdox jar file: mkdir /tmp/cp cd /tmp/cp wget http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/com/thoughtworks/qdox/qdox/1.12/qdox-1.12.jar export CLASSPATH=/tmp/cp/qdox-1.12.jar leads also to the exact same error (*). So now the question, is how did I misread the instructions from: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/compiling.html#env-classpath How should I be setting up my CLASSPATH to compile fop ?
