Re: PDF size reduction

[Peter Hansson]

Hi Spoorthi
Another angle:
I've found SVGs to be MUCH MORE efficient in terms of space usage. Try to see 
if you have those logos in SVG format instead and see if it helps.
The added bonus of doing this is that image still looks nice even when the 
end-user is using the zoom function when looking at the PDF document.
SVGs cannot do everything that say JPEG can. For example Apache FOP doesn't 
have support for SVGs that use gradients. However, I've found that most 
corporate logos aren't that advanced and they typically work well with SVG 
format.
Give it a try. 
For example something like this:

- One solution might be to adjust the images to a proper size and compression 
accordingly to the layout- Alternatively you may „optimize“ the PDF for 
internet use: resample, compress and remove duplicates (images used multiple 
times)
Just a few ideas which may help if there is no native solution in Apache FOP 
;-)If there is no working solution in FOP, I may send you a link to a freeware 
to optimize the final PDF
The FOP guys may forgive me if I am completely wrong ;-)

Hi Team,
We have a requirement to reduce the size of the PDF size from 
200Kb(approximately) to as less as possible. There are 5 images in the PDF that 
I am using. 
PDF size without images is coming up to 40Kb. Each Image size(jpegs): CCX logo- 
60Kb, 3 small images: 18kb each, SMS logo - 50Kb approximately.
The PDF size is increased as mush as the image size is. Is there a way for us 
to optimize the image size or the PDF size in FO?I have already set this 
property: true

Please let me know if there are any techniques to achieve this. Has there been 
any enhancements done in the FOP 2.0?
Thank you,Spoorthi


   

Re: My PDF is 50x larger than it needs to be!

[Peter Hansson]

Unfortunately this was wrong. Apparently something has happened in Trunk 

that makes it realize if body content is the same or it can compress or
whatever.

In any case when I make my content on each page different 

(rather than just a simple 'X' on each page) then I'm kinda back 

where the PDF file becomes 50 times too big. My test case now use 

the body text "Page xx" (where xx is a number 1-50) on every page 

just as to be sure that content is actually different
on each page. 


Darn. I thought this was fixed. I've logged FOP-2681 in JIRA.
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2681).


Thanks 


Peter

Re: My PDF is 50x larger than it needs to be!

[Peter Hansson]

Happy to report that this is fixed in trunk.


On my simple XSL which generates 50 pages, the resulting PDF size is now 196 KB 
when using fop v2.1, but only 21 KB when using fop trunk. (as of today)


So clearly, something has happened since v2.1 was released in jan 2016. Thanks 
for this. Whatever you did this is *not* an insignificant bug fix.


Hoping for an official 2.2 release soon.

My PDF is 50x larger than it needs to be!

[Peter Hansson]

I'm adding an SVG logo to every page of a document in a  
element
and notice that the logo gets "inlined" on every page, rather than appearing 

only once in the PDF file and then referenced when used on each page. 

Thus the size of the PDF balloons with number of pages. Ouch! 


Here's what I do:


http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41220101/xml-fo-how-to-re-use-graphics



As can be seen there's only a single character on each page (Just to make the 
example
simple). If I from this generate a 2 page PDF document it will be 13 KB, but if 

I generate a similar 50 page document it will be 215 KB !!

I would have expected the two PDF document to be almost the same size.

How can I achieve that the logo (or header as a whole) is re-used and referenced
instead of inlined for each and every page?


By the way: Not using vector graphics is not an option for me.

changing the look of the PDF output by FOP

[Peter Michaux]

Hi,

I'm new to FOP and feeling a little disoriented about the correct way to
change the look of the PDF that is output by FOP.

My source is an AsciiDoc text file and I have no trouble converting that to
a Docbook XML file.

$ asciidoc --backend=docbook45 book.txt

I can then use the fop command line tool to convert to a PDF file.

$ fop-2.1/fop -xml book.xml \
  -xsl docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.1/fo/docbook.xsl \
  -pdf book.pdf

The default look of the produced book.pdf is nice but I'd like to adjust
font families, font sizes, margins, etc.

I did discover one way to customize the fonts by creating a fop.xconf file
with the following content



















and then using the following command

$ fop-2.1/fop -c fop.xconf\
  -xml book.xml   \
  -xsl docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.1/fo/docbook.xsl   \
  -param body.font.family Minion-Regular  \
  -param title.font.family Myriad-Condensed   \
  -param monospace.font.family Andale-Mono\
  -pdf book.pdf

Even though the above font setting technique was something I learned from a
blog on the Web, at this point, I'm already unsure if I'm going in the
right to doing this kind of customization properly or not. I imagine there
is a better way to than passing a growing number of parameters to the fop
command line tool.

Then I tried to see if I could have an affect on margins and the footer
font.

$ fop-2.1/fop -c fop.xconf\
  -xml book.xml   \
  -xsl docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.1/fo/docbook.xsl   \
  -param body.font.family Minion-Regular  \
  -param title.font.family Myriad-Condensed   \
  -param page.margin.top 0\
  -param footer.content.font-family Helvetica \
  -param monospace.font.family Andale-Mono\
  -pdf book.pdf

The page.margin.top param did work. A small success!

The footer.content.font-family param did not work. I also tried
footer.content.properties.font-family, footer.content.font.family, and
footer.content.properties.font.family without finding the right solution.

What's the right way to configure things so fop is outputting the PDF I
dream of sharing with folks?

Thanks!

Peter

Re: How to use FOP with MAVEN?

Hi,

tried it using "maven-antrun-plugin".

The "outfile" parameter is ignored - is this a restriction of "fop" or the

Re: How to use FOP with MAVEN?

Hello Michael,

sorry, I don't want to use a Java application at all for transformation, but
rather a build plugin to just do sth. like this command line:

fop -xml name.xml -xsl name2fo.xsl -pdf name.pdf
(copied from http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/quickstartguide.html)

It'd probably look like:


   fop
   ???
   xml/name.xml
   resources/name2fo.xsl
   pdf
   name.pdf


This is just an idea - not the real code, because I'm asking for that! ;-)

Re: Rendering svg instream foreign object to pdf gives wrong result when svg contains dy on text

[Peter Coppens]

Hi Christoffer

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. Don’t think it is related to 
units, but I did notice that whenever I use a fop font (e.g. by making sure the 
font resolution fails and a default is used) as opposed to a macos one, it does 
seem to work.

So, seems font file/processing related

Rendering svg instream foreign object to pdf gives wrong result when svg contains dy on text

[Peter Coppens]

Hello 

I have a svg that has a text element positioned with a dy attribute. When the 
svg is displayed in the browser or rendered to a png using batik, the dy is 
taken into account, but when using fop to render to pdf it is not.

Attached the fo file, the resulting pdf and the png as rendered by batik.

Is there something wrong with the fo input or is the pdf transcoder not support 
the dy attribute?

All tips welcomed!

Re: Drastic Performance Improvement by dropping xerces and xalan

[Peter]

As you both suspected, the performance difference is related to the
stylesheet transformation. We have now found the origin: It was a
 with a "//..." selector. When we change it to something
better (in our case /*/... was the better expression) the performance of the
jdk xalan and the one shipped with fop was the same.

Drastic Performance Improvement by dropping xerces and xalan

[Peter]

We had some performance problems with fop and began to investigate. For a
specific example document of about 400 pages fop took about 55 seconds on a
server at a client. The same process was much faster in our own setting
(taking about 11 seconds). What we found out is the following:

- fop from the distribution (either 1.1 release or 1.2 snapshot) takes 55
seconds
- fop from the suse package takes only 11 seconds

The two configurations differ in the jars: The suse config does not include
xercesImpl, xalan and serializer

We are running 
java version "1.7.0_40"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.4.1) (suse-8.18.1-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.0-b50, mixed mode)

So, removing these three libraries drastically improved performance for us.

Can someone explain why this is so? Can I safely drop these jars?

Best regards
Peter

Set metadata to hint the PDF viewer not to scale the content when printing

[Peter Hopfgartner]

Hi all

I would like to print some technical drawings, where an accurate control of the 
printing scale matters. As it seems, most PDF viewers rescale the content, in 
order to respect the printer margins, usually by some percent.

AS stated in 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4725711/set-pdf-to-print-with-no-scaling, 
the metadata of the document can be set, in order to hint the viewer not to 
scale the image.

Can this be controlled from FOP?

Regards,

Peter

Re: fop-ttfreader - output bounding box information for characters?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Alexey,

I am happy to apply the patch and I have done something equivalent to this
as part of the the project to configure Batik to use custom fonts.

Going forward, we hope to allow Batik to directly use Font provided by FOP
when converting SVG to Java2D drawing commands.  FOP will render text
natively with no need to pre-embed the Font into the SVG.  As mentioned
this is a fairly involved piece of work that may even lead to a new Font
library in XML Graphics, see http://markmail.org/thread/hkclkqaxlfh5wwvu.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: PNG in FOP .95

Re: Rounded corner

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Franck,

The first thing I plan to do is merge trunk into the rounded corners
branch.  That would be a good time for you to build the branch and
generate some examples. Support for tables, for example, is currently
fairly limited and I have not done a detailed assessment to determine
what is outstanding.  Any examples that illustrate the current level
of support would be a of great help towards documenting this.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: FOP 1.0 - TLE values based on XML values

Hi Simone,

Have you considered applying an XSLT transform to the fo document, or
during any process you may have that generates the fo?  An explanation
of the steps required to achieve this are outside of the scope of this
mailing list:  If you are new to XSLT, try taking a look at [1] and
browsing [2].

Good luck!

Re: LazyFont and MultiByteFont NullPointerException

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Harshini,

Can you provide a little more context regarding this issue, please.
Are you able to provide us with the steps  and resources to reproduce
the issue?  You may not be able to post the font on the mailing list
(for legal and practical reasons), but if we can begin by taking a
look at the your fo, fop.xconf etc, a solution may not require that.
If we determine that we need to see the font, we can arrange you to
email it privately.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Multi threading problems with FOP 1.0

[Peter Coppens]

Hello

I have similar things but as far I can remember this was always related to svg 
as part of an fo stylesheet.

I should/could dive into the mail archives (and perhaps) bugzilla to refresh my 
memory, as I remember there were discussion on this, but perhaps you can 
indicate whether you are using svg at all in your fo?

The font element should be a child of the fonts element in your fop.xconf.

Try that and please let me know if you need more help.

Re: AFP & FOP Font Problem

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Gregoire,

Which version of FOP are you using and have you checked the
documentation at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop (e.g.
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/configuration.html for
configuring trunk)?

Without seeing your fop.xconf o in full I would guess that the
font-base is not set correctly, and thus the relative url ./fonts/ibm
does not resolve to what you want (this guess is based on how
frequently this happens).

If you have not already, hve a further read of the docs, tell us the
version of FOP and perhaps attach your fop.xconf.

Peter

Re: Multi Threaded FOP?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Theresa,

I believe there are multi-threading gotchas when embedding FOP and her
dependencies; see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/embedding.html#multithreading,

There are certainly many multi-threaded production systems that have
successfully embed FOP and it would be nice to know some of the issues
that were faced whilst they were being developed.  it would be very
useful to have a page on the website, or perhaps on the wiki dedicated
to this subject, included some war stories and solutions devised.

Re: Arabic Font in FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,

You are going to have to checkout the branch

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/branches/Temp_ComplexScripts/
using subversion: info here http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/download.html

Once you have the codebase you have to build it: info here
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/compiling.html

Good luck!

Pete

Re: Arabic Font in FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,

Are you using a version of FOP built from the arabic support branch?
Arabic support is not currently available in trunk, or any offical
release.  If you are not sure then reply and I will provide details
for getting this version.  Be warned however, this work is not
complete and may produce undesired results.

How are you transforming your xml data into fo?  Please provide the
transformed fo if you think that you are using the correct version of
FOP and we can investigate further.

Pete

Re: PDF giving first page as blank

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Vishal,

Each row of your table contains a single cell that is declared to span
2 rows and 1 column of your 2 column table.  Did you mean 1 row and 2
columns?  Please run fop against the sample and confirm the unexpected
behaviour you wish to report.

Fwd: PDF giving first page as blank

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Vishal,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I have just attempted to render the sample and I got a validation
exception related to .  I ran trunk with relaxed validation; which
version are FOP are you running?

Your question belongs on the fop-users list, hence the destination of
this reply.

Re: wrong offset on block-container

[ingo peter]

thanks,

little attribute big effects


Am 15.04.2011 09:31, schrieb Pascal Sancho:

Hi,

in short, there is leading space between 2 lines, half leading before
and half leading after.

This leading is based on both font-size and line-height.

You have to ensure that both properties are set to 0 to have a null leading.

Since line-height defaults to 1.2 (IOW: 1.2*font-size), you just need to
explicitely set font-size="0" on the fo-block containing the image.

Re: Row span and keep-togehther.within-page problem

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Matthias,

This bug has been captured in bugzilla#45134.  I have had a quick look
at the code-base but I have not yet been able to determine why
 fo:table-cell@number-rows-spanned adversely affects table breaking
across pages or how difficult it would be to rectify.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Fonts fail to print after successive print runs that work

[Peter Yandell]

Hi Mehdi,
That's right, each document is different. I also wrote a harness to 
continuously print two documents against our QA server. Again the fonts 
would disappear somewhere between 30 and 150 times. It does not appear 
to be a simple "print X times and watch it fail" which is making it very 
difficult to resolve.


Best regards,
Pete

Hi Peter,

You say that it can happen anywhere from the 30th document to the
150th? Does that suppose each document is different, or does the
number vary if you print the same document over and over? I.e. is the
number at which it fails the same over several attempts when printing
a single document?

images; 'PrintJob-200a-47.png' rendered correctly while
'PrintJob-200a-48.png' stop working.

The problem goes away after Tomcat has been restarted. Sometimes the error
starts happening after 30 documents have been printed, other times it can be
upwards of 150. Once it starts happening then it keeps happening until
Tomcat is restarted.

Resolutions Attempted:As I couldn't see any errors in our application
logs I turned the FOP logging all the way up to 'ALL'. At no time were there
any entries, for a 'failed' print job, that differed from a successful one.
There are no WARN, ERROR or FATAL messages appearing in any log file.

Searching for font issues seems to only turn up misconfigurations of fonts.
All our fonts are configured correctly as the documents do print. It is
simply that they are forgotten, lost, etc after some period of time with no
errors or warnings recording in the logs

Version numbers:
JDK:1.6.0_20&  1.6.0_24
OS:Mac OSX 10.6.4&  10.6.6
FOP:0.95&  1.0
Tomcat: 6.0.24

I can extract out the relevant FOP log entries for both a successful and
failed run if requested. I haven't attached them as they are quite large.

My request for help comes in several parts:
1.Has anyone else experienced this, and if so what did you do to resolve
it?
2.Does anyone have any thoughts where else to look? I don't know where
else to look right now.

The web application is a commercial so I may be limited in what I can share.
If anything else is required please ask and I will do my best to comply.

Many thanks in advance,
Pete

manipulate fop configuration file via java

[ingo peter]

hi,

i can embed fonts via command-line to the file "fop.xml" and render a 
pdf with special fonts.


"fop.xml"




null


flate
ascii-85

/tmp/







300



*is it also via java possible to safe the font-information to "fop.xml" 
for later use?*


i tried this, but i don't know to save my changes back to a xml-file!
...
String fontname = "test1";
String filename = "test1.ttf";i
// set own configuation file:
try {
 FontTriplet fontTriplet = new 
FontTriplet(fontname,Font.STYLE_NORMAL, Font.WEIGHT_NORMAL);

 List fontTriplets = new ArrayList();
 fontTriplets.add(fontTriplet);
 EmbedFontInfo nfont = new 
EmbedFontInfo(filename.substring(0,datei.length()-3)+"xml", true, 
fontTriplets, filename, fontname);
 DefaultConfigurationBuilder cfgBuilder = new 
DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
 Configuration cfg = cfgBuilder.buildFromFile(new 
File("/tmp/fop.xml"));

 FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
 fopFactory.setUserConfig(cfg);
 fopFactory.getFontManager().setFontBaseURL"/tmp/");
 fopFactory.getFontManager().getFontCache().addFont(nfont);
 fopFactory.getFontManager().getFontCache().save();
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
  }
}
...

*how can i save my configuration?*

Re: Apache FOP Newbie needs Help Converting XML to PDF

[Peter Hancock]

It seems that date.format-date.template.xsl is unavailable.

I suggest that you generate the fo first from the relavent xml and xsl
(this is out of scope of this mailing list - help can be found on
other mailing lists like http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/),
and then post the corresponding fo to this list if you are still
having problems processing it with FOP.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Apache FOP Newbie needs Help Converting XML to PDF

[Peter Hancock]

Hi,

Can you tell us exactly which files you are using when you invoke fop, please.
Your command should look something like
fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -pdf foo.pdf
 judging by the files you have attached.
I am guessing you missed out the -xml/-xsl flags, leading FOP to
believe you were supplying an FO file.

When an  XML and XSL files are supplied, FOP will perform an XSLT
transform using the Xalan XSLT Xalan library (I am guessing you will
need to know more about this stage in your project), generating the FO
document stream that is then processed to generate the output in the
desired format:

XML + XSL -> [XSLT transformer] -> FO -> [XSL:FO processor] -> PDF

This initial stage just saves on from having to do the transform first.

I hope this info helps,

Peter

Re: FOP command-line option in ant task

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Walter,

Have you tried running FOP from the command line? This is the
preferred way to run FOP as a stand alone application.  If you can
invest a little time to set this up you will be rewarded with the
ability to fully configure FOP.

If you think you are truly bound to the ant task, then a modest
modification to org.apache.fop.tools.anttasks.Fop to parse the
properties for the encryption parameters, as suggested by Jeremias.
This is handled from the command line arguments by
org.apache.fop.cli.CommandLineOptions, which you may want to use for
inspiration.

Good luck,

Peter

Re: AFP Rendering

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Sandeep,

Sorry for the delayed response.  The code that handles the rendering
of NOPs is within IFRenderer.renderPage() and I can confirm that FOP
will always render a  page header before a NOP.  I am not sure how
popular the use case is for declaring NOPs outside of the  page scope.
 The MO:DCA specification only stipulates that a NOP must be enclosed
within begin-end domain, and so your requirement is certainly valid.

Perhaps a FOP developer with the available time would be willing to
provide a patch that extends the afp:no-operation element with an
attribute to specify the placement of the NOP at document or page
level.  You should raise a feature request in the ASFs bugzilla
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla, stating your requirements.  I
would also recommend that you advertise your request for this
requirement in a new thread on the fop-dev mailing list.

I hope I have been of help,

Pete

RE: AFP Rendering

Hello Sandeep

Have You got an answer or a solution on that issue?
I would really appreciate to place NOPs or other elements as valid NOPs in the 
document structure.

Otherwise, I have to find a way to solve this with TLEs, which needs change in 
the solution of the customer.

Thanks and Regards
Peter

Hi Sandeep,


Reading http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#afp-no-operation,
it appears that FOP only allows  NOP declarations in the Simple Page Master, 
and so there may not be a way to control the position relative to where pages 
begin and end.

Can you please attach the fo file or perhaps a suitably cut down version if you 
require further investigation.

Re: circle or mask without svg

thanks jeremias,

ich have checked this.
the TIFF was in the wrong formati convert the TIFF in LZH now it 
works...

...but the result is not the best.

other try:
i can get all pictures as single pdfs. (nice)
can i embed this pdfs in circles with fop-pdf-images?
i heard about mask in pdf but find no further informations.

By default, Batik (which handles SVG) can only process PNG, JPEG and

TIFF. So TIFF should work. If it doesn't, please post an example
document. EPS won't work at all. For PDF output, we have a special
plug-in in place that supports some additional formats but embedding EPS
in PDF is deprecated and therefore shouldn't (and often can't) be done.

Re: circle or mask without svg

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Ingo,

There is no way to do this directly with FOP.  You will have to add
the frames before processing in FOP.  The EPS is a vector format
whilst tiff is a bitmap and so a different approach may be required
for each.  Are you able to transform the images to a format that you
can then use the SVG approach?

Re: AFP Rendering

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Sandeep,


Reading http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#afp-no-operation,
it appears that FOP only allows  NOP declarations in the Simple Page
Master, and so there may not be a way to control the position relative
to where pages begin and end.

Can you please attach the fo file or perhaps a suitably cut down
version if you require further investigation.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: Antialising issue with borders in PDF with fop-0.95

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Juergen,

What does a print of the pdf look like?  It may be the viewer (as
mentioned in the post you referenced) that is responsible for
anti-aliasing the pdf for screen display, and may not be a good
representation of the print.

Currently FOP draw each of the 4 border sections of a cell separately,
even when they should combine to form a continuous mark - likewise for
the neighbouring cells of a table.  Borders are represented as vector
drawing commands in a graphical stream within the PDF
 and the resolution of this drawing space is 1 millipoint - 1/1000th
of 1/72th of an inch.  The drawing commands are directly generated by
fop from the representation of the border - no intermediate Java2D ->
rasterisation process occurs, and so antialiasing is not an inherent
problem in the process.

I hope this helps,

Pete

Re: FOP 1.0 line feed not visible

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Philippe,

PDFRender was removed from FOP in rev 989178 of trunk (along with the
other renders
 along with AFPRender, PCLRender and PSRender.)
PDFPainter (and other collaborators) now implements the functionality
previously handled by PDFRender.
Some information about the new architecture is available at
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/intermediate.html

I hope that helps,

Re: FOP 1.0 line feed not visible

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Philippe,

I think perhaps the linefeed-treatment='preserve' property on the
fo:block may be what you require.
See  http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/#linefeed-treatment
for more detail.

I hope that works for you.

block breaking page-columns

[Kester, Peter]

Hi all,

I have a page sequence with two columns on the page. Sometimes the content 
holds a table which should span both columns.
When this occurs the table gets spanned over the two columns but the part 
before the column gets pushed above the spanned block:
The order in my source file is:
block1, block2, block 3, block 4, wide table, block 5, block 6, block 7, block 8

| block 1   |  | block 3|
| block 2   |  | block 4|
| table spanned over both columns   |
| block 5   |  | block 7|
| block 6   |  | block 8|


But I would like to have the following for the column break.

| block 1   |  | block 5|
| block 2   |  | block 6|
| table spanned over both columns   |
| block 3   |  | block 7|
| block 4   |  | block 8|

It this possible or not?

Best regards,

Peter

Re: Creating Editable PDF forms with FOP

Re: Cropping output to content

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Craig,

I think that post processing the area tree will be the only solution -
FOP can only fit content to page view-ports and not the reverse.  To
make life easy you could use id's to demarcate  the section you want
to preview, making the extraction easier.

Ideally you should process a whole page sequence, and not just a
snippet: The problem with processing a section of the whole document
is that the layout of that section is dependent on the whole document
Generating just a small section will potentially yield a  preview that
does not match the final layout.

I am not sure that any resizing can be done based on image resolution

Re: AW: How to hyphenate nonwords?

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Alexander,

Before questioning FOP's implementation you may want to consult the
xsl:fo specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/
first.
If you believe that FOP strays from this, then please raise your
concern on this list.

Often times the solution to a particular problem cannot be elegantly
expressed in xsl:fo, however, xsl:fo is not designed as a human
writable/readable data format and xslt processors should not be phased
by a documents poor aesthetic quality.  Computers are good at doing
boring jobs like adding zero width space to strings so I would
recommend figuring out a way to process the things like serial numbers
when you include them in your fo.

Re: How to tell line# in input file that is generating error

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Steve,

I am not familiar with the DITA Open Toolkit, but to get line numbers you
need to explicitly pass fo to FOP and not the combination of xml and the
xslt that FOP initially transforms to fo.  Maybe DITA provides a way to get
the intermediate fo so that you can run it through fop yourself.

Re: FOP 0.9.5 and Too many Files Open...image Files in my case...

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Durga,

Before trying to resolve this particular issue, are you able to
upgrade to 1.0?  It is possible that your particular issue has been
resolved after 0.95.
There are threads on the mailing list that report similiar problems, e.g.
http://old.nabble.com/Too-many-open-images--td25664263.html#a25664263

Re: using an existing pdf as overlay

Hi Erik,

I am not sure if my solution is the most elegant but for ideas have a
look at the files in the attached zip.
in.fo is  for the final document- you will have to change the path to
the generated overlay.pdf.
overlay.fo was used to create overlay.pdf.
out.pdf is the final result.

For busy readers who do not have time to look at the attacmnet the
relavent fo snippet is

Re: JEuclid and FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Srikrishnan,

I have had success creating a pdf from the mathml.fo input found with
the 0.95 source code using FOP 1.0.
All I did to do was place jeuclid-core-3.1.9.jar and
jeuclid-fop-3.1.9.jar in FOP's lib directory as instructed.

I am not a windows user and so there may be an environmental reason
you are not have success but I do not think that is likely.

Maybe you could elaborate further on your setup and environment,
giving myself or perhaps another user more insight into your problem.

Re: JEuclid and FOP

[Peter Hancock]

Hi SriKrishnan,

Recent versions of jeuclid are not compatible with fop 0.95:
examples/mathml/build.xml of 0.95 refers to a jeuclid class
net.sourceforge.jeuclid.MathBase, however this was removed from
jeuclid in revision 425:c7cae27888cf (in 2007).
The mathml support in FOP is now maintained by the JEuclid project, as
stated in the examples/mathml/README of FOP trunk.

I would recommend ugrading your version of FOP to 1.0 or even trunk
and then follow the jeuclid-fop integration instructions that should
be found  somewhere at either
http://jeuclid.sourceforge.net/
or
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jeuclid/

If you really need to use 0.95 (although I certainly recommend
upgrading to at 1.0 or above) then you will have to figure out which
version of jeuclid is compatible and then probably  build it from the
source.  Shout out if this is your only practical solution and I can
help you out further.

Pete

Re: Wider TXTRender output

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Intasi,
The TXTRenderer produces ASCII text output which at best will be a
crude match of a PDF document: see
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#txt
A page layout has to be mapped to the ASCII text grid, with
predictable issues surrounding text spacing, graphics representation
etc.

The docs suggest that best results come from using monospaced fonts
with suitably calibrated font sizes and line heights.

I hope you project does not depend on eye-pleasing txt docs!

RE: FOP - AFP Rendering in OCR-B

[Peter Weber]

Hi FOP users

Today was a great success!
We managed to get the AFP output working with OCR-B font.

To transform outline fonts with TypeTransformer was a good approach.
What I couldn't know was the fact, AFP code pages cannot be found easily in the 
internet.
You have to request one from a person working with AFP fonts and code pages.

When the Instructions below has been followed, and the according code page is 
present AFP will work great with OCR-B!

Remember:
The OCR font I posted here isn't a real OCR-B font!
Maybe of licensing purposes, the space character and the exclamation mark 
(probably more) are different to real OCR-B fonts.

Thanks for the support and hopefully my success will lead others to theirs :)

Regards
Peter

I get that, too. I don't think that's a problem as long as you don't need very 
special characters.

That's strange. What I did was create a new directory somewhere and copy the 
character set file and the codepage file into that directory. Then I set "path" 
to this directory. That worked.

I wouldn't expect one. I think this is just a possibility to keep the character 
set (and file size) small by only transforming the characters you really need. 
For example, if you only need to print a Swiss ESR form, you only need 
"0123456789>+" and a space.

Forget PFMReader. It's of no use anymore. It's still there for historical 
reasons.

I managed to produce an AFP file with the OCR-B font converted to an outline 
font. However, the exclamation mark is converted to an "|" for some reason I 
haven't investigated, yet. Furthermore, some viewers had problems with the 
file, either completely or just with the first line (see attachments).

I then also generated raster fonts (8, 9, 10, 11 and 12pt at 240dpi) and tried 
those, also with T1EDO500/Cp500. That gave me even better results in terms of 
viewer compatibility.

I guess TypeTransformer may not be the fail-safe tool. At any rate, I'll have 
to investigate that strange character substitution when I have more time. It's 
not the first time I run into this.

RE: FOP - AFP Rendering in OCR-B

[Peter Weber]

Hi Jeremias

Sounds like I was on a good way with TypeTransformer.
I followed Your instructions. I choose a Type 1 font 'ocrb10.pfm' and 
transformed it to an AFP Outline font.
This font You can download at: 
http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/software/ocrb-complete.zip

I didn't configure any sizes, bitmap fonts, etc. I just leaved everything empty 
in TypeTransformer and started the job. 

I got an error message:
->There are missing characters in the character list that was generated using 
filters.

But TypeTransformer produced an OLN font 'CZA080.OLN', where I've removed the 
file extension.


My Config:





The Exception is the same like before:
org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: Failed to 
load the character set metrics CZA282   with
 code page T1EDO500. I/O error: Resource not found: T1EDO500

Then I replaced the character set with 'CZA080', tried different code pages and 
different disk location of the font-folder (TypeTransformer default 
directory/Project directory).

It's always the same error.

TypeTransformer provides the possibility to set Character Filters and a pre 
defined Character List OCR-B.
But I can't see any difference.

Last but not least I tried to get the metrics with PFMReader. Unfortunately, I 
am not very familiar to Java so I couldn't get it working.
I was following these instructions:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/fonts.html#advanced
I changed the filenames to the current versions like 
'avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar'. 

Following exception was generated:
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from {some 
path}\fop-1.0\lib\commons-io.jar


Thanks for Your response Jeremias.
Do You have any tip left?

Peter

Hi Peter

Incidentally, I had to look into IBM's TypeTransformer for a client
recently. I haven't gone the raster font route. I had some problems
there. Instead, I produced an outline font from a Type 1 font. Here's
what I did:

- Choose a Type 1 font in TypeTransformer (I took Sansa-Normal)
- Leave the Sizes empty.
- Choose "AFP Outline" as output font. Uncheck bitmap fonts.
- Leave character filters empty (remove them if present).
- Start the job.
--> that should produce a good OLN font with as many characters as are 
available in the
Type 1 font.

- Remove the ".OLN" at the end.
- Add a configuration entry like this:


  
  


Of course, you should also be able to use a different codepage, but
Cp500/T1EDO500 worked fine for me incl. German Umlauts, but except, for
some reason, the exclamation mark. I haven't investigated more closely,
yet. The codepage basically just selects the 8-bit subset you want to
work with. You just have to make sure your selected codepage has as many
of the font's characters mapped so you get most of the 256 (8-bit) character
set as possible.

So I assume a similar approach should work in your case. Your "Resource
not found: T1000893" means you may need to move the code page file to
the same place as the character set. And you should consider using
absolute URIs instead of relative paths. Relative paths are usually
resolved based on the current directory of the application. "base-uri"
and "path" are pretty much interchangeable: "base-uri" expects a URI,
"path" a file system path.

Hi Mithun,

I have been working on implementing AcroForms in FOP - see
http://www.mail-archive.com/fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org/msg15037.html

Unfortunately other commitments have not allowed me to ready the work
for submission to the community, although I have recently been tasked
to complete this work and will use this as an opportunity to submit my
work.

Watch this space!

One Question as simple as possible.

It would be very great if You can tell me which CodePage, Caractersets,

RE: Creating a tagged PDF

[Peter Kester]

Mind you, there is a bug in FOP 1.0 regarding the tags for table-header and 
table-border.
FOP 1.0 gives them the default value Thead and Tbody but these are not in the 
PDF 1.4 spec.
You have to rename these with the role attribute Table.

Best regards,

Peter

RE: Font mapping for AFP Output

[Peter Weber]

Hi Peter,

Thank You very much for Your answer.
It took some time to proof all of your tipps.

---
First off, what version of FOP are you using?  This will have some
baring on what support there will be available for you.
---

-> I'm using the new Version of FOP 1.0
-> It should provide better support for AFP than older versions

---
Have you taken a look at the FOP docs or the wiki?
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/output.html#afp-font-config
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/AFPFonts
---

-> Yes I have... my biggest problem seems to be the understanding of 
configuring custom GCUID fonts.

---
There are a few problems i can spot with your config.   Most notably,
the afp-raster-f...@characterset should refer to the actual character
data for the custom font you want to embed and that you have made
available to FOP - you are instead referencing IBM base fonts that
should be available in  any AFP environments (Print servers or
viewers) that you are using.  
---

-> On http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/globalization/codepages.html I 
found codepages for OCR-B Font.
-> FOP tells me, it can't find any of them: 
org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: Failed to 
load the character set metrics CZJHMNU with code page T1000893. I/O error: 
Resource not found: T1000893
-> Of course, the used character set isn't correct, but how do I find the right 
one?
-> I'm not sure but it seems to me, these codepages aren't available to FOP...?
-> I cannot imagine IBM printers, also AFP Output of FOP, can live without the 
OCR font. It is essential for bills and other OCR issues.


The font-triplet element configures how you can reference the font in your .fo 
document.  


-> this is one of the only things I understood till now :)

-
I am guessing that
the AFP you generate, whilst referencing ocrb[10], actually results in
the default Times Roman font.
--

-> Yes, this is true... my snippet was not optimal. I had to post anything to 
illustrate where I stand.


To resolve this you need to first determine what kind of font you have
(outline (.OLN), raster- this usually comes with a collection of files
for different sizes and styles).  This may not be that obvious to you
and I have had trouble myself doing the same thing.  I have resorted
to using and AFP binary reader to determine this - maybe some other
AFP FOP users have some better instructions for you on this subject.


-> Under the following link You can find the font I need to embed: 
http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/software/ocrb-complete.zip
-> It contains multiple formats. AFM, PFB, TTF and PFM

Another approach was to refer to the directory with the OCR fonts:






The same problem here is the absence of the codepage 'T1000893' or 'T1000877'.
What is the correct codepage for OCR-B?
How do I find correct characterset? Or how do I build the correct 
characterset-reference string using these tables?
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/resources/systems_i_software_globalization_pdf_cp00877z.pdf

What is the meaning of the letters in the string for charactersets? CZJHMNU
This isn't a HEX value...

It would be very great to get this working and I really appreciate any help I 
could get.

Thanks in advice
Peter

Once you know the font refer to the the FOP docs for the relevant

PDF\A-1a compliance check when fo file contains basic-links

[Peter Kester]

Hi,

I am in the process of generating PDF\A-1a compliant PDF but I think I ran into 
a bug.
When the fo file contains something like this:
Google.com
I can generate a PDF\A-1a compliant docuyment but when I try to validate in 
Adobe Acrobats Preflight I get the following error message:

'An error occurred while parsing a contents stream. Unable to analyze the PDF 
file.'

When I disable the basic-link everything works like a charm.

Font mapping for AFP Output

[Peter Weber]

Hi all

This week  i stuck at mapping fonts for AFP output format in fop.

I don't have any experience with fonts, codepages and charactersets...
Can someone please explain me, how to map a font in the fop.xconf for AFP 
format?

Following is a part of the config I am playing with:






















-> This doesn't really works :)

The name of the codepage 'T1E00877' I'm using here I have found on an IBM 
Documentation:
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=877/ENUSZP02-0594&appname=printers

I'm absolutely unsure how to continue with this.
Can I map OCR-B as a raster font? Is it a raster font?
How do I find the correct character set? Is 'T1E00877' the correct codepage?
I'm using the OCR font in 3 sizes: 9.5pt, 10pt and 11pt.

Please, it's very difficult to find information about this topic. Hundreds of 
documents but I found anything helpful.

I would really appreciate to get a solution for this.
And much better if I understand how font mapping really works. :)

External AFP formdefs

Hi,

Does FOP support the declaration of formdefs/medium maps as references
to external resources?  I see from
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.0/output.html#afp-invoke-medium-map
that FOP can embed formdefs defined in a file, and it is not directly
clear to me if the name attribute of afp:invoke-medium-map can be a
reference to an IMM defined externally.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Re: FOP 1.0: images fail to render

Hi Dennis,

If it is any help the fop-1.0's MANIFEST.MF includes

Class-Path: avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar batik-all-1.7.jar commons-io-1.
 3.1.jar commons-logging-1.0.4.jar fop-hyph.jar serializer-2.7.0.jar s

 ar xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar

Other than checking those dependencies I can only suggest checking out
the source from subversion

building a clean version.
I was able to run your example fine with my build of 1.0.

Hi,

Yep my patch for feature
(https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49379) included a
fix.  It would be great if a commiter could review that patch and
commit the fix with the feature.

Hi,
There is a bug in src/java/org/apache/fop/afp/AFPStreamer.java around line 160:
  Iterator it = pathResourceGroupMap.entrySet().iterator();
should be
  Iterator it = pathResourceGroupMap.values().iterator();

Re: fop region-body border and padding issue

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Muralidhar,

Since the region-body statically positioned relative to the page (as
determined by margins of simple-page-master), then perhaps you can achieve
your desired layout by just combining the effective padding into the margins
of region-before?

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

The suggested method fails because all arguments to fop are passed as
arguments to the application, not the JVM.
You could change the fop script and add '-Dlog4j.configuration=...' *
directly* before or after '$HEADLESS'  on the line 'run_java ...'.

Better still you could put something like $MY_JVM_VARS instead and run
* export MY_JVM_VARS='-Dlog4j.configuration=file:///wherever/log4j.xml' fop*

Any other JVM arguments required can be placed in the MY_JVM_VARS variable.

The problem with this would be when an update changes the /usr/bin/fop.  You
might want to copy this script into ~/ somewhere and run that instead,
merging any potential future changes to fop when thy occur.

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

I have just realised that you are using fop via the package manager, and not
from a direct fop download - whoops!
I am sorry, but I am not sure I can help with your configuration.  Perhaps
there is a Debian mailing list that might help?  I wonder if the LOG4J_OPTS
variable is used by java-wrappers.sh script referenced in the fop script?
Maybe you could email the author fourm...@debian.org?

If you have no luck you could alternatively checkout fop with subversion and
run that using the configuration discussed in my last response.  This will
require a bit more work to set things up, but it is well documented at
 http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/quickstartguide.html

I am for the confusion caused by my assumption about your fop setup!

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

I am not sure how the LOG4J_OPTS environmental variable is supposed to be
handled by the log4j library (I would like to know!) so I would recommend
changing the fop script.

First put the log4j jar in fop's lib directory.  You can download it from
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html
Put your log4j.xml file in the root of the fop project.
Edit fop:
Uncomment the following line
*
LOGCHOICE=-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
*

edit the fop_exec_command variable (bottom of fop file) to include
 -Dlog4j.configuration=log4j.xml

This approach will keep the log4j config local to fop which is preferred.
Other java applications using log4j would want different config.  Also you
should not have to modify /usr/share/java since it is managed by Debian.

I hope this works for you

Pete

Re: Log4j Woes

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Nancy,

Did you change the fop script to specify the LOGCHOICE variable?  At the
bottom of the fop script you will find some  commented out examples of
setting this variable.  The convention is to name the log4j file log4j.xml,
but it should not matter as you refer to it explicitly with the LOG4J_OPTS
system variable.  Also, is the log4j.jar on your classpath too?

I hope this helps,

Pete

Re: AcroForm extension

[Peter Hancock]

Hi Alessandro,

First off this is a development discussion and should be moved to fop-dev
mailing list - if you have not subscribed to this yet I suggest you do for
further discussion (see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html).

I have been working on an implementation of AcroForms (Following PDF Ref 1.4
- FOP's PDF library mostly adheres to this spec).

Before you take on this task alone it would be a good idea if you review my
progress:
I am at a fairly early stage although
 * Written draft specification for fox extensions
 * Extended FOP's  PDF library (package org.apache.fop.pdf) to include a
fairly comprehensive set of PDF's acroform elements
 * Implemented a simple text label and pushbutton usecase

I will shortly submit a patch to FOP and put documentation on the FOP wiki.

It would be fantastic to get your thoughts on this and hopefully save you
independently doing the same thing!

Your approach to develop the extension as a pluggable module is
theoretically the correct approach, however you may run into problems-
perhaps insurmountable ones!
 Althougth the FO tree building and the layout/ area tree building stages
both support pluggable extension in principle,  some parts of the system
currently do not: The rendering of fox extension elements, for example, is
handled by the core renderers/painters and it does not seem trivial
(possible?) to delegate at these stages to an external handler.

I see some of the major challenges in developing the right implementation
including:
 * Defining fox elements that exploit the rich appearances that can be
prescribed to pdf fields
 * With regards to layout, defining the right bridge between existing fo
elements and PDF e.g. text labels may behave like fo:inline elements,
multiline text fields may have the layout behaviour of fo:blocks etc)
 * Externalising the rendering/painting code - perhaps not possible

Re: FOP, hypenation. How to compile hyph pattern? my own

[Peter Hancock]

You should have and use the standard build.xml that shipped with fox.  The
target 'compile-hyphenation' is defined in this.  See Simon's post for where
to go from here.

Hi,
Googling lead me to the suggestion that you need JAVA_HOME to point to the

You should run ant from the your fop dir.
If ant is not in your path see http://ant.apache.org/ for details.

Re: Image Rotate

[Peter Hancock]

You can also use the extension attribute 'translate':



You have finer control of the angle, however the absolute-position must be
set to "absolute" or "fixed" ( relative to the block-containers parent).

Hi Sekhar,
The xml you have provided is not xsl fo (looks like a style sheet).  Could
you provide the actual fo you have used - you can strip out unrelated stuff
and we can replace the image with something local.
