Is there any special way to display newline, space characters,
carriage  returns in XSL-FO? I'm using XLS Formatter V3.2 and
it times the newline characters in the text written in XML,
which I want to display in XSL-FO file.

Any solution to this problem?



Regards,
Umer

You should use the following properties to achieve the desired result:
7.15.7. "linefeed-treatment"
7.15.8. "white-space-treatment"
7.15.12. "white-space-collapse"

Read the spec for the additional details.

See Victors reply for a real how to.

First you need to realise that the XML source document is
(most likely) marked up semantically, not using presentational markup.

>From that structure, you may want to apply presentational information
based on structure, e.g. a new line at the end of a paragraph.

Use that approach and Victors syntax and you'll solve your problem.

I am using XSL Formatter to generate PDF from XML. I am trying to
display an image on full length of the page, using the XSL code
given below:

  -------------------------------------------------------

<fo:block-container position="fixed" top="0" left="0"
height="{$pageheight}px" width="{$pagewidth}px">
  <fo:block>
   <fo:external-graphic src="url('{$imagepath}')"

	 scaling="non-uniform"

	 content-height="{$pageheight}px" content-width="{$pagewidth}
px" />

	 </fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

--------------------------------------------------------------

The PDF generated has image displayed on full length of the page,
however, it creates a thin white strip that runs across the top of
the image. I mean, the top corner of the image does not touch the
top corner of the page. Am I missing something? I have tried
specifying "fo:simple-page-master margin_top=0" as well as
"<fo:region-body margin-top="0" margin-left="0" margin-right="0"
margin-bottom="0" />", but to no avail.

I want to know if it is a built-in feature of XSL or XSL Formatter
that there always remains a gap between the top corner of the page
and the top corner of the block-container.

Regards,
Umer

Thank you for using XSL Formatter.

fo:external-graphic is treated as an inline object which generates
a line area.

The default height of line area is 1.2 * (line height).
Please specify line-height="1.0" for the block.

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

Tokushige Kobayashi

Thanks a lot for your kind help. It works now.

Thanks Tokushige Kobayashi for your help!

I have one more question for you. What is the default DPI resolution
of PDF generated using XSL Formatter? How can I assign it my own
value? I have searched Online Manual of XSL Formatter and but am unable
to found any information there.

Hi,

I use FOP.

I need of your knowledge in XSL-FO:

Is it possible to define in the XSL-FO that when you print
automatically you print in duplex (I'm not sure about this word (I'm
french) but i want to say print in front and behind the page)mode?

Thanks for your feedbacks anbd your help

Printer-specific commands are outside the scope of FO itself. Either you
will use the normal printing interface for your printer or your FO
implementation will provide some implementation-specific facility to add
printer and job options to its output.

I will note that even in FO 1.1 the FO specification is slightly
underspecified in that it implies knowledge of whether the pages are
duplexed or simplexed but provides no direct way to indicate this.

That is, any property with the value "inside" or "outside" implies
formatting-time knowledge of where the binding edge is for each page but
FO provides no standard way to statically specify the binding edge
(possibly because it is really a print-time property). This suggests
that FO implementations should also provide a run-time parameter for
specifying simplex or duplex printing and which edge will be the binding
edge. I don't believe any implementations currently do this (but they
are all evolving so quickly it's impossible to keep up with their features).

Cheers,

Eliot

If you mean you have a printer which can print on both sides
of a sheet of paper, and you want to enable this printing mode,
then no, this hasn't anything to do with XSLFO.
You can check your printer's manual in order to see whether you
can make this mode a persistent default, you can try the same
with the printer options of your operating system. If you
use the Java printing subsystem, check the java.awt.print.PrinterJob
class, the print method may take a PrintRequestAttributeSet parameter.
I think you should put an appropriate
javax.print.attribute.standard.Sides objet into the set. Check the
JavaDoc and other possible sources, like the usual Java guru forums.
The javax.print.* interfaces are not for the faint of heart.

J.Pietschmann

I am sorry to be late, but I can not understand what
you mean by the DPI resolution of PDF.

PDF file consists from commands, it is a kind of vector format.
DPI may not be relevant.

Hi,

What is this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap Space

Is it my memory or the memory of FOP?

Thanks for your answer

This is a FAQ. See the website for a solution:

http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html#memory

Chris

This is the FOP who ran out of your memory.

Possible reasons are: either your stylesheet is not optimized for FOP
implementation limits or FOP is not conformant for your workflow.
Possible solutions are: optimize your stylesheet and/or add additional
memory to your computer and increase swap file.

The amount of memory available to FOP or any Java program is not necessarily
connected to amount of memory on the machine. By default a Java program gets
just 64 Mbytes of memory allocated. With this most FO Formatters can only
manage the simpliest of documents before running out of memory.

You need to tell Java to use more memory with the -Xmx option added to the
command line call of Java. This along with suggestions on optimising the
stylesheet are discussed on FOP's website in the link I posted previously.

Hi,

That work it's great! thanks all

I have know another probleme I wan't to make this transformation with
a webservice .net

so I have found a class called nfop but know I don't know where I can
add the commutator -Xmx512m? Has anybody an idea?

Or Can I use the fop.bat with my webservice or is it impossible?

Thanks for your ideas

Long time has passed since the last post on this topic so I hope this
is still useful.

My Java application does exactly that. It applies different xslt style
sheets to different data inputs and creates one PDF report. My
application runs each xsl-fo generation process separately storing the
output in a byte array. When all the pdf snippets are generated it
uses a free Java library iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) to
combine the PDF snippets together into one PDF document.

Hope this helps,
Max Z.

Hi,



Is there any way to fail a transformation if the XML contains a certain
tag?



I know you can not have it in the DTD and it would scream at you, but I
have a single DTD that supports 3 formats.



I'm creating PDF, CHM and plain HMTL output from the same XML. The
problem is that the PDF can't use some of the CHM tags.

I've created an XSL to process the XML into a PDF compatible xml output,
which means you have to process the XML twice. Not perfect, but seems it
is the only way to do it without interrupting the flow.



I basically want the XSL to fail if it detects the tag <toc_book> in the
XML and not create the PDF, so the user knows they've screwed up and
need to go back and process the XML properly. At the moment it just
creates the PDF anyway.



Is this possible?



Sorry if this makes no sense!

Probably a basic question, but how do you create bookmarks using XSL:FO
for PDF?



I have a large document that needs navigation, and being able to convert
the TOC into bookmarks would be an extra help.

Nicola,
The bookmark issue really is a XSLT engine issue.

Some XSL-FO processors have bookmark extensions and some don't.

XSL-Formatter = yes
http://www.jsa.or.jp/domestic/instac/committe/H15report/report-contents/ep/docs/\
xsl_ext/xfo-extension.html

XEP = yes
http://www.renderx.com/tutorial.html

FOP = yes
http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions.html

It is possible that you will have to pay for the full version with
some of these in order to get the extensions to create bookmarks.

Since the version 1.1 XSL-FO specification has formatting objects for
bookmarks (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#d0e14045).

And Altsoft Xml2PDF (http://alt-soft.com/products_xml2pdf.jsp) has a native
support for them.

Since the version 1.1 XSL-FO specification has formatting objects for
bookmarks (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#d0e14045).

And Altsoft Xml2PDF (http://alt-soft.com/products_xml2pdf.jsp) has a
native
support for them.

Please ignore vendors sales pitches Nicola.
