RE: xml to pdf (generic)
To convert xml to pdf you need to have an xml file (the one below I assume) PLUS an xslt file that will convert to XSL-FO and then you can use FOP to convert the FO file into pdf. You can also do this in one step with FOP - xml + xslt - xsl-fo = pdf output. Now we still need your xslt file that you intend to use to convert your xml. If you are by chance looking for someone to write an xslt transformation for you - you've got the wrong guy here, but maybe someone else will help. If you already have the xslt, send it so we can look at it.

RE: tables or no tables
Niek, I have been using FOP for about six months and I have not found a way better than tables yet. With HTML I could specify a width of a span element and make if right or left aligned, however I dont know of a way to do this with FOP so I am left with tables. With FOP I dont think there is the admonition against using tables that there is with CSS. I dont really understand if from CSS anyway since the fact that tables are still widely used for layout demonstrates that they are a practical way of achieving a layout goal. Ill be interested to see if some other user has some practical alternative.

RE: ant task
Thanks Jeremias, I figured it out once I had the -d switch. I had a mistake in the path on a few of the jar files so Ant could not find them. I was testing this to see if it was faster than the batch file I have now.

RE: Commercial Documents
Yes, I am using it in a product for occasional reports, but mostly for sales documents. I used to do them in HTML, but the inconsistencies between one browser and another drove me nuts! PDF may not be exactly the same everywhere, but it is a huge improvement. I like the pdf format because I can email, fax or print from within the program and all customers can read it. So far, creating the documents is rather slow (up to 10 seconds/doc), but I am doing this on a Windows network using a batch file. As I get a bit deeper into Java I can probably speed things up, but I'm a complete novice now. The support on this NG is VERY good. The advantage for my client is to be able to email invoices rather than send by mail. In the US, and probably everywhere, postage is becoming a major expense.

RE: out of memory error
Thanks everyone for your responses. The size does not appear large to me either, 25+ pages, but nevertheless it does run out of memory. I have only three images (small) and several tables with embedded tables, plus the page-number-citation for page x of y. FYI in case it helps someone else, the -XX:+AggressiveHeap seems to do what the combination of -Xmx and -Xms do, however automatically. The only documentation I could find at Sun suggested it was only for multiple processor machines with lots of RAM, however it seems to work for me with only one processor. The advantage is that it allocates the Heap dynamically according to the available RAM. In my case, the client PC's have from 320MB to 1+GB of RAM and they are all running locally from a batch file on the server. Although I could set the -Xmx and -Xms to the lowest common denominator, the -XX seems to take care of this on whatever machine it is running on. Jeremias - I am running from trunk code from about a month ago. Have you done some memory adjustments since then? I remember I used to have extra large resulting PDF files when I had an image that did not have a color table (or something ?), but the trunk code brought a 225KB file back down to 25KB.

RE: FOP extension for Barcode4j
Thanks for the help. I am a complete novice at CVS. I used Tortoise to get the FOP trunk which was pretty easy. Can I access the Barcode4j trunk from Tortoise as well? If so what is the url?

Thanks for the help, I guess I will just have to make sure the clients have the two jar files in the endorsed folder.

use java from server
Fop 0.92b I am calling FOP from a command line bat file. The actual FOP folder is located on a server on a Win 2000 server with mainly XP pro clients. On occasion a client does not have java installed locally, so fop errors with 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Can I tell fop to use the server version of java, or does it have to be installed on each client? Rick
get 0.92beta
I am currently using 0.90alpha. Since I have a problem, which apparently has been fixed, in using a table inside a footnote, I would like to get 0.92beta. Im confused about how to download the version. I see various references to where the files are located, however I dont understand which program I use to get access to copy these files. Then, if my understanding is correct, I use Ant to make the build? Thanks, Rick
set inline element width
FOP 0.90alpha 1 Can someone tell me if it is possible to set the width of an inline element? I would like to stack inline elements from left to right, but I want them to be standard widths, like this |-- 2cm | | ---6cm --| |--- 2cm | |--- 6 cm --| The text inside the fo:inline tags will vary so I cannot get a regular size without a width setting. I think there are ways to do this in xsl-fo, however FOP just doesnt obey any of them that I know of. I have tried fo:inline width=2cm (this has no effect on width) fo:inline-container width=2cmfo:block (this makes the block not render at all) Rick
RE: set inline element width
Thanks Philippe, yes I thought of that, its just that it's a bit easier for me without the table, although I will certainly resort to this if necessary. I always have an unknown number of elements, so I have to test to end the table-row. If I use fixed width elements, then they just wrap automatically. Rick hello, Why not to use a fo:table ? It will work fine ... Regards -- Ph D - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
