SVG styles being ignored
Hi all, I have a document which imports an SVG as a full page graphic. It used to display fine, but recently I started having problems with it. The problems started after I recently edited the image in Inkscape (it's been unchanged for a couple of years). Since the image was created in Inkscape, and has only ever been edited in Inkscape, I'm not sure why it's started having problems now. I'm using FOP 2.3 on Ubuntu 18.04, with Java 11.0.4 The first issue was that the image was displayed at the wrong size - it was resized so only the top left quarter of the image was displayed (but sized to fill the entire page). I've tracked this down to a change in how Inkscape is setting the page width and height in the document. It used to specify (according to my gitlab history): width="744.09448819" height="1052.3622047" Inkscape recently changed things to: width="210mm" height="297mm" Since it's an A4 page (210mm x 297mm), the change seems perfectly reasonable, but FOP doesn't seem to like it. Changing the units back to the unitless values seems to have fixed that, so this issue is more a curiosity than a problem for me at the moment. The bigger issue is that FOP has stopped rendering styles on some graphics. This seems to be mostly limited to text styles - colours and border styles. Even if I convert the text to a path, then it is still displayed as flat colour. I've put some examples of the problem I'm seeing, along with a cut down FO file, here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gFt4qC-30GA1VapKicCvTDjrbbiE093e with-styles.png shows how the image should look (and does look in Inkscape) no-styles.png shows how the image is rendered by FOP when it's converted to a PDF. I've also included the SVG file, generated PDF and my fop.conf file. The SVG includes the font Archivo Black (which is referenced in the fop.conf), but I see the problem with standard fonts as well. Also included, is test-wrong-size.pdf, which shows how the PDF is rendered before I changed the page units from mm. So far the only work around I've found is to export the image as PNG from Inkscape, and include that in the document instead. I'd prefer to be able to directly include the SVG though.

Skipping page numbers on cover sheets
Hi, I want to add a front cover sheet to a document. The document is two-sided, consisting of multiple chapters (each being a page-sequence) with the page number in the header. My problem, is that when I add the cover, it is treated as pages one and two (I want the first 'real' page to start on the right, so I insert a blank page after the cover). This means that the first chapter starts at page 3, when I want it to start at page 1. Is there a way to force the first chapter to be page 1? I've tried setting initial-page-number=-1 for the front cover, but that didn't work (I'm not that surprised). I can't think of a way of setting the first chapter to start on page one, without either all chapters starting on page 1, or duplicating the page-sequence definition for each chapter type for the situation where it's the first chapter - since the initial-page-number is an attribute to fo:page-sequence, I can't stick it into an if. My template is here: http://yagsbook.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/yagsbook/trunk/xml/xslt/pdf/yagsbook.xsl?revision=78view=markup I add the cover at line 349, I match each chapter at line 399. -- Be seeing you,Games: http://www.glendale.org.uk/ Sam.

I need only the first chapter to have initial-page-number=1. Can page sequences be nested?

You would of course have to split the page into before, body and after regions and place some of the content in the erstwhile head and footer. Alternatively a trick VH showed me is to print content twice covering 200% of the available width and use left/right indent at 0% and -100% alternately. This is how I print tables across two pages. Haven't tried that. I do already make use of the header/footer, so I don't know whether that prevents use of this technique. When I get time, I might look into that. I do have a workaround for tables - I have a chapter type which has a single column, and save all the big tables until then.

There have been a lot of fixes between 1.0 and 0.95, some of them relates to multi-column layout. Apologies, I lied. I had downloaded 1.0 last week to test against to see if that fixed things, and had forgotten that I'd changed my scripts to use the fop-1.0 install rather than the system default. So yes, I'm seeing the problem on 1.0. Whilst putting together a simple example of the problem, I've discovered that it works fine on the first page of each chapter. On the 2nd and subsequent pages (even/odd makes no difference) of a chapter, I see the problem. Each chapter starts on a new page (it's been 10 years since I wrote these stylesheets, so my knowledge of fop is a bit rusty. Chapters seem to begin a new fo:page-sequence/fo:flow). It also doesn't make a difference which column the image is in. 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? Attached.

File size when including SVGs
Hi all, I'm currently using FOP 0.93, and I've just started looking at using SVG images in the rendered PDFs. One thing that I have noticed is that the image size of the resulting PDF grows considerably. It would appear that if I import an SVG multiple times, the resulting PDF includes a new instance of the image. If I have a 20k SVG displayed in the header of a 20 page document, then it adds 400k to the PDF (before compression). Is this correct? If so, is there a way around it? My plan is to use a small number of SVGs a large number of times, so being able to embed an image once, and simply reference it each time it is used in the PDF would greatly reduce space. If this isn't the case, then I obviously need to try and figure out why my PDFs seem to grow considerably if I repeat the same image. I'm mostly importing SVGs as background images, but some are inserted with fop:external-graphic Thanks. -- Be seeing you, http://www.glendale.org.uk Sam.Mail/IM (Jabber): [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Missing log4j appender
I have just upgraded to fop 0.93 from 0.20.5, on Gentoo Linux, and I'm now running into some issues whenever I try to process files which worked prior to the upgrade. Running fop, I get the following error: log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.fop.render.RendererFactory). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. An empty output file is generated, then deleted. This error is thrown even if I just run fop by itself (I get that error, followed by a usage). I can see three possible causes: 1) It's a Gentoo issue, and not a FOP issue. 2) It's not a log4j issue (it is reported as a warning after all), and something has changed which is causing some other failure which can't be logged. Setting up log4j will tell me what the real problem is. 3) log4j needs to be setup somehow, which will fix the problem. Assuming 2 or 3, how do I setup a suitable log4j configuration file and pass it to fop when running it from the command line?

It appears that the real error was: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: file:///tmp/character.fo:2:351: Error(2/351): For fo:simple-page-master, fo:region-body must be declared before fo:region-before. Changing my XSLT has fixed the problem. Presumably this requirement has changed in the rewrite between .2 and .9, since it never complained about it before. I've also noted some other differences in the new rendering engine - time to revisit my XSLT I think!

fo:external-graphic problems
Hi, I'm trying to use FOP/Batik to embed an SVG file into a generated PDF document. My understanding of the best way of doing this is to use the fo:external-graphic element. However, when I do so, I get the following error: [ERROR] Could not load external SVG: Content is not allowed in prolog. [ERROR] Error while creating area : No ImageReader for this type of image (file:/home/sam/rpg/yags/habisfern/) To me, this almost looks like it's trying to load the directory the file is in, rather than the file itself (the above path is the directory which all files reside in). The XML I'm passing to FOP is as follows: fo:external-graphic source-document=words.svg width=5cm height=5cm content-width=5cm content-height=5cm/ I've tried various alternatives to the source-document, including enclosing in an url(), passing the full path etc. I have setup the baseDir config option, though this appears to default to the working directory anyway, so has no effect. I've tried most of the possibilities that I've found on various Google searches. Is anyone able to tell me what I'm doing wrong? The SVG was created in Inkscape, and loads fine in other viewers. I'm using FOP 0.20.5 and Batik 1.5.1. The latter is in the classpath when I run FOP. The environment is Gentoo Linux/AMD64. Thanks for any help. -- Be seeing you, http://www.glendale.org.uk Sam.

My web search found a list of attributes for fo:external-graphic, and I assumed source-document was the one I wanted since that was the first vaguely-useful one I found.

Re: fo:external-graphic problems
As a followup, now that I've got my graphics embedded in a PDF, is there a way of forcing the graphic to scale to the available area? According to the FAQ it would seem that it isn't currently possible: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/graphics.html#svg-scaling Is this still the case, or is there a clever way around the limitation? I'd like to be able to take any random image (probably drawn on an A4 canvas), and embed it into a column of a document, cropping to the actual image size (not page size) and scaling to fit the column. I'm assuming I could probably do something by querying the SVG document itself (though even this wouldn't work if I can't change the image dimensions), but a simpler solution would be preferred. -- Be seeing you, http://www.glendale.org.uk Sam.
