RE: One JPG Displays, the Other Does Not
Bob, IIRC, you are putting a 900px file into a 25pt area. FOP should shrink it to fit, but I suspect it still has issues doing this with large jpgs. Other image types (gif etc) work better. Cheers, Roland From: bob swanson [mailto:bobswans...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 13 May 2013 12:51 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: One JPG Displays, the Other Does Not I noticed this problem with a much larger document I'm producing. I was able to trim down to a small .fo file and two JPG images. I can display the JPG images with many software products, so I know they are valid. However, the PDF file created by my short script (using the fop script on a Mac OSX system), displays only one of the images. The other is missing. I've tried viewing the created PDF file with Adobe Reader, and Preview from the Mac. In both cases, the second image does not appear. What am I doing wrong? The .fo source, the two JPG files, and a simple execution script for the fop shell script are in: http://swansongrp.com/misc/problem.zip (you can ignore the link reference errors, but there are no errors from reading the JPG files) Thanks for your help.

RE: xml processing instructions in textual content
As far as an XML parser is concerned you have 3 nodes within the “para” element; two separate text nodes with the PI in between them. Your XSL would need to string both text nodes together instead of just showing the first one. I’m a bit rusty on this sorry, but there should be a couple of ways to do it.

Re: Fedora 9 and fop
Ulrich, We found fop 0.20.5 required these fonts on some RH versions, even in headless mode: xorg-x11-deprecated-lib The fop errors we saw were different, but still misleading. I don't think java 1.6 was around when that version of FOP was written either FWIW. Regards, *Roland * Ulrich Mayring wrote: Chris Bowditch wrote: v0.9x is a complete re-write of 0.20.5 so I don't think that is a fair assumption. AFAIK the dependency on a graphical environment was due to Batik, so the complete rewrite of fop may not have any bearing on this issue. I am guessing that some X libraries weren't installed, is there any information which ones are actually needed? If that were true then specifying -Djava.awt.headless=true would resolve the issue. Its more likely that FOP got stuck in an infinite loop due to some complex FO that you gave it. No, I can disprove that. Fop works fine on any machine not running Fedora 9. In fact it worked fine on Fedora 4 and after doing nothing else but upgrading that machine to Fedora 9 it broke. The only explanation I can think of is the X libraries issue.

For large files it is not unlikely that the browser times out or finishes fetching the PDF file in an unfinished state. A possible pseudo-streaming solution could be to let FOP save the file on the server, and use a website with an AJAX script on the client side that regularly checks the state of the file. If file size isn't changing between two or more consecutive checks, it might be assumed that FOP has finished rendering the file and you could redirect the browser to the respective URL or show it as a link. Of course, this might still be problematic with regards to security...

Re: FOP failing while accessing SVG DTD
Ian, This is a basic XML parsing question, not particular to FOP: Use the XML prolog standalone attribute to prevent the DTD lookup. eg: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes? Regards, Roland Ian Burrell wrote: We are getting intermittent failures making PDF from XSL-FO with SVG images. I think the problem is caused by network errors accessing the SVG DTD from the w3.org site. We are using fop 0.20.5.

Re: running FOP.bat from another folder
Rick, I don't think you need to cd, just run it with it's absolute path name or add the dir it's in to your %PATH%. A bit of code from the one I use, the comments may help you (XP is NT). I commented them because my fop.bat is not in the FOP install directory: set LOCAL_FOP_HOME=C:\fop\fop-0.20.5 rem %~dp0 is the expanded pathname of the current script under NT rem if %OS%==Windows_NT set LOCAL_FOP_HOME=%~dp0 NB the .bat is much more flexible if you leave the %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 in the java command.

Re: UTF issue
Thom, Opening your .fo in IE: Line 3 Char 125. An invalid character was found in text context. Did you save as utf-8? Looks like ansi to me. UTF-8 is the default for XML, but not for most text editors. The encoding attribute must match the file (eg encoding=ISO-8859-1 works for this file). To expand slightly on David's comments - trim the .fo down to the smallest file which will show the problem. You can often find the solution yourself this way.

Re: [POLL] Your experience with FOP 0.90alpha1 so far???

Re: [POLL] Your experience with FOP 0.90alpha1 so far???
Jeremias,
I haven't test it thoroughly yet, but you asked, so but here's what I've
seen:
1. Images are not scaled overrun block-container height width. The
images seem washed-out pixelated (gif). This is a stopper, I was
hoping it would work better than 20.5.
fo:block-container height=3cm width=3cm top=0cm left=0cm
position=absolute
fo:block
fo:external-graphic height=3cm width=3cm
src=file:images/{$logo} scaling=uniform/
/fo:block
2. I had to move region-before after region-body in the
simple-page-master. This makes no sense ;), but I assume this is from
the spec. Not a problem.
3. NB. Had to replace fo:table/ with
fo:table-cellfo:block//fo:table-cell
4. No line numbers on errors anymore? This was very useful for debugging
stylesheets.
5. There seems to be extra space inserted between lines now. This breaks
existing stylesheets static-content layout - is there some default
attribute I can turn off for this? (space-before, padding?)
6. PCL - no chance of at least keeping the old renderer?
FWIW: I know these are mostly my compliance issues, but a FAQ on these
kind of differences would help greatly.
Cheers,
Roland

Re: get value of command line arguments
Yes I know the command line is slow, this sounds like another incentive to change that. Thanks, Roland Jeremias Maerki wrote: Hi Roland No, that parameter to the XSL is not set by the FOP command line. Of course, it would be no problem to add this. In the latest code it's possible to specify XSLT parameters. But that version won't be of use to you right now, since PCL support has not been resurrected, yet. Still, you're talking about speed but yet you use the command line. That's kind of a contradiction to me. However, it should be easy for you to add that XSL parameter to the FOP command line yourself.

get value of command line arguments
Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to check the value of FOP command line arguments within XSL, specifically the chosen output format? eg I have one stylesheet which may produce PDF and/or PCL from the same XML file depending on local setup. PCL is mainly for non-PS printers faxes, so I would like to disable colour formatting switch to bw images when producing these.

Re: conditional-page-master-reference and last()
Louis, I beleive it is not implemented in FOP. Use fo:marker instead for this instead, there are plenty of examples in the list archive and your fop/examples directory, sorry don't have time to dig them up right now. Cheers, Roland [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a layout such that: fo:page-sequence-master master-name=mainSequence fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position=first master-reference=firstPage/ fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position=rest master-reference=otherPage/ /fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives /fo:page-sequence-master I need to put a footer on each page that either indicates that it is or is not the last page of the entire printed document. Usually, when I have a repeatable-page-master-reference, I just use code like: xsl:choose xsl:when test=position() = last() END OF ORDER /xsl:when xsl:otherwise CONTINUED ON FOLLOWING PAGE /xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose However, last() seems to be giving me my position within the reference. For example, say I have two pages, each one is a different layout using different static contents. On both pages, last() is equal to position(). What am I doing wrong?

RE: Basic help needed
Ashley, To stop editing you can use this: http://xml.apache.org/fop/pdfencryption.html To wrap at 80 chars there are several solutions, but it really depends on your situation: as Jay suggested you might be trying to do something XSL-FO does automatically better. For a preformatted text file, you could also experiment with these fo:block-container attributes: white-space-collapse=false linefeed-treatment=preserve white-space-treatment=preserve Cheers, Roland -Original Message- From: Ashley Martens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 22 April 2005 4:23 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: RE: Basic help needed It's really silly.

The FO idiom is to fill the line until the end of the line or the end of the text is reached. If you really want to break the text every eighty lines, you can do it with XSLT and then put each chunk in its own block. Getting the line break to be at the last space before 80 characters will be a bit more interesting, but not impossible. I'm curious why you would want to create a PDF representation of what is usually a pure-text representation method. Why not let PDF do what PDF does well (make paragraphs, have bold for emphasis, and so on)?

RE: FOP - external-graphic in absolutely positioned block container - increase the width and the image vanishes!
Mike, However - my main question still remains: Why - when an image is displayed 'correctly' - does making the block-container BIGGER make the image vanish? Does anyone else have any experience of this? Yes, if the block-container no longer fits wholly within static-content for example, it doesn't display anything. You could display borders on the block-container to check. I have also seen logos disappear when the logo itself was much bigger than the block-container and it spat the dummy rather than scale the image down. I think that was only on certain image types (jpg?). I checked the archives quickly but can't find the details, sorry.

RE: Best Practices for Images and FOP 0.20.5
David, A couple of notes from experience: Don't use transparency in GIF's (goes black). Don't use JPG for PCL output (can crash FOP). Don't scale images containing text (pixelates: use a factor of 2 if necessary). Cheers, Roland -Original Message- From: David 'Dox' Shevitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 14 April 2005 8:29 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Best Practices for Images and FOP 0.20.5 Thanks, Jay. This is exactly the type of information I'm trying to compile. In regards to FOP, one of the challenges I've been having is ensuring that images are either a) their normal size, if they are smaller than the page, or b) scaled down if they are larger than the page. It seems like I get inconsistent results with my PDF output, and I'm not sure if its a problem in my process, or just a temporary limitation of FOP. It was this situation that made me wonder what others did to ensure their graphics appeared as they wanted. I agree with you as well--I use JPEGs for the documentation I write for my company. It's helpful to know that JPEGs and GIFs are the best for FOP--given the sheer number of file types for graphics that exist. Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Dave, I can't point you to a guide, but I can share my experiences. Being a technical writer, I've had occasion to embed lots of screen shots in lots of documents and then render PDF versions of those documents with FOP. In the process, I've learned a couple things. Naturally, you need to do all the things that help when working with any image: Use an uncluttered image. Use an image with good contrast. Try not to scale it too drastically. For FOP in particular, you can help yourself out by using its native image formats: GIF and JPEG. Ever since some fellow decided to start suing companies that use GIFs, I mostly use JPEGs. You can get other image formats to work with FOP, but that's more overhead. Other than that, it's better to make a big image small than it is to make a small image big. That's true in general, of course, but it seems to be even more true in PDF (note that this isn't especially a FOP thing - it's a PDF thing). Good thread to start.

I'm hoping to find some sort of guidelines or best practices document that describes how to use images in FOP. Two examples: are certain image types better than others? What is the best way to control the size of the image so it looks consistent throughout a pdf? Again, I'm sorry if these questions have been addressed before, and I just missed it. But I do appreciate any help!
