Using PDFBox
I saw some references to Apache PDFBox and took a look at it. I currently use FOP / XSLT, etc to generate printed documents. Is there some specific feature(s) of PDFBox that I should take a closer look at??? Jeff
Second Page not Printing
I have a simple page layout for an output that will never be longer than two pages. Page 1 prints fine. I have a maximum of 80 comment lines. However, when I hit the bottom of page one, the output does not advance to the second page. I am using a for-each to step through all of the comment lines. Any ideas on what I have forgotten to do?

Reset Page Number Causes Blank Page to Print
I receive a single, large XML invoice file. A single file contains multiple invoices of varying length. When the XML contains only ONE invoice my page numbering works fine. However, when I have multiple invoices in a single file, I need to reset the page number back to one (1) for each new invoice. I do this using the following: xsl:for-each select=statements/statement/detail fo:page-sequence master-reference=multiinitial-page-number=1 fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before font-size=9pt white-space-collapse=false white-space-treatment=preserve This causes the page numbering to restart at page one BUT it also causes an additonal page to print with a blank body. How do I prevent the additional page from printing?

Last-Page text Overlaps Region-Body Text
Last week you all helped me resolve my last-page issue. Great! I
thought I was finished but here is a new twist.
My region-body runs to the bottom of a page (1 inch from the bottom).
The region-body only contains the detail rows of a table. This works
perfectly. However, on the last page, the summary block needs to print
about 4 inches (this will vary) from the bottom of the page. Therefore,
when the region-body fills the last page with table output, the summary
block prints on top of the region-body table output.
Here is the start of my last-page code:
fo:block id=last-page line-height=.14in
keep-together.within-page=always
linefeed-treatment=preserve white-space-collapse=false
margin-top=.22in
fo:block-container position=absolute top=4.2in left=.01in
fo:block font-size=10pt
fo:external-graphic src=url('java/images/FI_Graybar.jpg')
width=7in height=0.7in
content-width=scale-to-fit

font-size=9pt font-weight=bold

/xsl:text
How can I prevent the last-page output from printing over the
region-body output??

This seems relatively simple.
I assume the problem is that your data has 233.94- and
format-number requires -223.94.
I don't know the syntax offhand but there is a method in the xsl
to check the last character of the data field.
You could just use the value of (if {last character} = -) for
an xsl:choose condition to parse the inv-amt input field, to move the
- to the front with a concat() function then pass the result into the
format-number.
(of course it's even easier the way I did it, where the program
generating the XML data already formats numbers into text and calculates
absolute positioning to print them)

Subject: Placing the minus sign(-) to the RIGHT side of the

I am using FOP to produce an invoice in a .PDF. Everything
works.
However, when a negative number is produced in my right
justified table column, the minus sign causes the decimal point to be
mis-aligned.
I found the format-number function and this addresses the
problem. Now the issue is that my system generates a negative value in
the form of:
233.94-
(the minus sign is always to the right of the value) This
cannot be changed. When I submit the value to format-number, it
returns a NaN error.
select=format-number(inv-amt,'##,###.00;#.00-')
In summary, I need to produce a column of numbers, right
justified, some of the values are negative with the minus sign to the
right. At the same time, the vertical alignment of the decimal point is
required.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Top Margin vs First Printable Position on a Page
Friends,
If I use MicroSoft Word and print ABC with the top margin set to 0, I
get the ABC in the extreme upper left corner (about one-tenth of an inch
from the top) of the printed page on my printer.
I need to get an image to start at the extreme, upper left corner of the
printed page. It seems that the best I can do with FOP, is about
one-half inch from the top of the page. I have carefully reviewed the
graphic (.jpg) and I am confident that it is in good form.
Here are my region-before settings:
fo:region-before extent=10.7in
line-height=1in
background-image=url('java/images/RI_Thrive_nospace.jpg')
background-position-vertical=bottom
background-repeat=no-repeat
margin-top=.1in
margin-left=.25in
absolute-position=fixed
font-size=0pt
display-align=after /
If I change the extent, it chops off the image at the top.
Any ideas

RE: Out of Memory Error from Java
David, Thanks for the additional input. As your excellent article implies, the solution is not as easy to implement as the concept implies. Specifically, my region-body is primarily a single, four-column, table that is eventually followed by some summary text. When the table contains more than 4,500 lines I get the out-of-memory error.

Create a .PCL file instead of a .PDF
FOP-0.95 RedHat Linux Java 1.5 Creating the PDF file is not a problem. The output is perfect. Printing What: a short doc that includes one logo file (.gif) and one watermark (.jpg). The user has a requirement that the SAME data must also produce a .PCL file. My Java program (from the Apache web site) has been changed as follows: Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PCL, foUserAgent, out); My fop.xconf has been changed as follows: renderer mime=application/vnd.hp-PCL renderingquality/rendering text-renderingbitmap/text-rendering /renderer The PCL file is produced with two problems: 1. It chooses Legal Size paper by default 2. The Logo (a .gif) shows up as a solid black rectangle 3. The watermark (a .jpg) does not print Any ideas/suggestions??? Thanks. Jeff
Background Image Covers both Region-before and Region-body
Fop-0.95 The current version of the output works perfectly. It consists simply of two parts: 1. a region-before that contains a logo and header text 2. a region-body which contains the detail lines. New change: the user wants a background image to cover BOTH the region-before and the region-body (the entire page) without making any other changes. How would I define this? Any hint is greatly appreciated. Jeff

RE: Using CHOOSE to control image in region-body
My Friends,
Thank you for the many suggestions! I have tried them all and my issue, as
suggested by Jean-Francois appears to be related to the fact that my xml tag
send-fax is not a direct child of the node I am processing. Instead, it a
remote descendant. Therefore, I used the following code:
xsl:when test=count(//send-fax = 0
I will have to review some docs to clearly understand the remote descendant
issue. It points out that I should have done a better job in my original
template design.
Thanks for all the input!

Subject: RE: Using CHOOSE to control image in region-body
Hi,
If you read send-faxY/send-fax, it is possible that there are some extra
invisible charaters.
If you want, you can investigate with string-length() and if 1, try to
determine (then discard) unexpected characters.
However, I can imagine 2 simple solutions that should help:
First solution should be to use normalize-space() function, like this:
xsl:when test=normalize-space(send-fax)='Y'...
Another solution consists in using contains() function:
xsl:when test=contains(send-fax,'Y')...
Just for curiosity, what XSLT engine do you use?
HTH,

Hi, Jeff,
I whipped up a small test to show how to solve your problem.
Here's the
contents of the (very simple) input XML file:
test
send-faxY/send-fax
/test
Here's the (also very simple XSL file):
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes?
xsl:stylesheet version=2.0
xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform;
xsl:template match=test
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=send-fax = 'Y'
xsl:messageFound it/xsl:message
/xsl:when
xsl:otherwise
xsl:messageNo joy/xsl:message
/xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose
/xsl:template
/xsl:stylesheet
When I run that XML file against that XSL file, I get found
it on my
command line.
I bet you can extrapolate from there how to get the XSL-FO
content you want.
If not, let me know and I'll try to help further.

Error when using XSL with French Characters
My Friends, Fop-0.95 My style sheet has been working perfectly. However, the user submitted some text in French. In the text was a letter e with an accent above it. That character caused the following error: Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence. My .xml looks fine. The e with the accent above it is perfect. First line in my XML: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? Here is the first line of my XSL: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? I am confused over why the UTF-8 for the XML understands the character but the UTF-8 in the XSL does not? I found an article that suggests that the problem would be solved with: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=8859-1? Would this be a viable/recommended solution? Do you have a better idea?

You're giving us very little to go with here, but it seems to me like this needs to be caught in the XSLT stage. Instead of blindly generating cells/columns for all eight 'columns' in the input, you need to exclude those, and make sure they are skipped (so the FO only gets to contain five columns, not eight). As soon as a fo:table-cell is generated with some content, no mechanism in XSL-FO exists to magically ignore those during formatting. It's not like you can do any 'evaluation' in the strict sense during formatting anyway, so I'm assuming what you describe above as 'evaluate the record and evaluate data' takes place in some xsl:template.

Using TTFReader to Create Font Metrics
I installed fop-0.94 binaries and the org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader binary is apparently not included. I installed the fop-0.94 SOURCE and I now have the entire set of source file including: TTFReader.java. How do I go about compiling the source library so that I can create the font metrics file (.xml)? I plan to use the command as specified in the docs: java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\commons-logging.jar;lib\commo ns-io.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader myfont.ttf newfont.xml Thanks. Jeff
