  • 1.  help with FOP or another PDF generator?

    Posted 02-05-2007 16:37

    Hi all,

    I've got a docbook book that produces good looking
    html and chunked-html via xsltproc. But I've had
    bad luck trying to generate PDF.

    I don't think I'm doing anything fancy. No images
    of my own, just callouts and "draft.mode". No catalogs
    or XLinks.

    The following all failed in different ways:
    xmlto, dblatex, xmlroff.

    Using FO genereated with fop.extensions, FOP 0.20.5
    hangs with

    [INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
    [INFO] FOP 0.20.5

    [INFO] setting up fonts
    [ERROR] property - "background-position-horizontal" is not
    implemented yet.
    [ERROR] property - "background-position-vertical" is not implemented yet



    Using FO generated with fop.extensions OR fop1.extensions,
    FOP 0.93 crashes with

    Any suggestions?

    It would be awkward to send my FO. (proprietary)

    Which PDF generator should I focus my efforts on?
    Should I try another FO generator?

    Actually, I just verified that I get the above errors with
    both versions of FOP when using a minimal docbook doc:



    PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN"
    "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd"
    [
    ]>
    <book>

    </book>

    It seems like the SAX implementation is missing a required feature:

    caused by org.xml.sax.SAXNotSupportedException:
    http://xml.org/sax/handlers/LexicalHandler

    You seem to be using GNU's JVM, trying using another JVM with a proper
    SAX implementation.

    Thanks Trygve, that was my issue.

    Now my issue seems to be how to tell FOP to use a http proxy.

    Anybody know?

    Hi Troy,

    Have a look at http://docbooksml.sourceforge.net. Docbook sml generates
    (beside other formats also) pdf using fop 0.92.

    Best Regards

    Joerg
