My last patch *did* fix the problem. It looks like you're using version 1.1.0. You should be using version 1.1.1-dev (which will become version 1.1.1 when I get around to doing a release). You can confirm the version you are using by running the command `XML2AFP.sh -v` (unix) or `XML2AFP.bat -v` (windows) It should print out something like: XML2AFP 1.1.1-dev Cheers, Joe |

The issue lies with handling of border-width="0px" inside your example fo. The AFP Renderer incorrectly treats this as a non-zero width, and so displays a border. I had tried to do a fix for Steve, but it looks like I missed a scenario. If you delete the border-width="0px" attributes from your example, the results look more like what you would expect. If you have full control over your fo generation, you can simply remove these. In the meantime, I'll try and fix up the source to get the correct behaviour. Cheers, Joe |

Hi David, How's tricks? I've had a look at the attached and put it through my copy of afp-renderer. My output doesn't have the required fonts so it looks a bit poor, but I think you're using the original afp-renderer.jar. Joe sent me an amended version, I downloaded it and used it for testing when I was on the project - I've attached a copy just incase you've lost it :o). Hope the project continues to progress.

Hai, We are trying to generate a fully resolved AFP. As per the link, http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/afp-extensions.html <afp:page-group id="PGG001"> <afp:tag-logical-element name="key" value="value"/> </afp:page-group> We did add the TLE's to the stylesheet that we use.Now the question is Where in the stylesheet this should be added. We know Page gorup element is linked to Page sequence element. Or can this be added anywhere. WE did look thru a HEX editor to see the contents of generated AFP file We don't see the Keys and its values. Any help would be appreciated. Prakash |

Jo, Just to let you know that we tested the changes this week, the PDF and AFP now look the same. Thanks again for your help, Steve.

We're using AFP Renderer with promising results. However, our customer requires that we provide "fully resolved AFP". One difference we can see visually when we inspect the files is that our AFP files are missing indexes/keys. I found something on the web called ACIF (AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility) that generates AFP OBJECT files. It says, "Object files are a concatination of AFP Resources (Overlays, Page Segments, Formdefs, Pagedefs, and Fonts) ACIF Indexing and AFP Output file." My question is, can AFP Renderer generate fully resolved/indexed AFP files? Can someone clarify how our Java application running on Solaris could achieve this? |

Hi Steve, Curiosity got the better of me, and I made some time to explore your problem. I found a hardcoded rectangle line width in AFPRenderer.java, which is used any time that any type of border is specified. I've created a patch to work around the problem, and confirmed that it works for your example po. I've attached the patch and the corresponding afp-renderer.jar to this email. I'm not going to publish a bugfix release at this stage until Pete can do a proper review, but this might help you get past your current issue. Regarding a (free) afp viewer under Linux, I've got the same issue. I googled without much success. If you hear about anything, I'd like to know.

Hi Pete, I've added the border command to the 'simple.fo' example that comes with FOP, it's appears to be acting the same as our test version at work, i.e. no border in pdf, but a border in afp. Also, can you recommend an afp viewer that will run under Linux? I use IBM's afp viewer plug-in for IE/Netscape, but I develop on Linux so changing from Linux to XP just to view the afp is a pain. Let me know if you need any more info. Cheers, Steve.

That sounds suspiciously like a bug. I'll try and reproduce the problem locally, but unfortunately I don't have much time for hacking at the moment, and Pete is on holidays for a few more weeks yet. If your implementation timescale is less than a month, you'll probably need to look at removing the border (sorry!)

Hi All, First of all thanks to all involved for the AFP Renderer, most useful. We're in the process of testing it prior to it being used in a production Unix/Mainframe environment. So far we only have one problem... We have one set of xsl:fo that is converted into PDF via FOP and into AFP via the AFP Renderer. The AFP is eventually FTPed to our mainframe where it's printed. The xsl:fo has the following block of code:- <fo:block background-color="#ffffff" border-color="#000000" border-style="none" border-width="0pt" font-size="10pt" margin-bottom="0.3in" margin-left="0.1in" margin-right="0.1in" margin-top="0.1in" width="100%"> On the top of all pages... </fo:block> In PDF the border doesn't print, but in AFP it does. Ideally we would like PDF and the AFP to be the same. Now I know we can remove the border attributes, but the xsl:fo is produced by a third party tool, so we have a few hoops to jump throught to get them to remove all the border commands!! We're using afp-renderer-1.1.0-final. Please let me know if there are any other alternatives. Thanks, Steve. |

Hi Alfonso, As Joe said I'm in New Zealand at the moment and won't be back until the end of March, if you follow the example it should work. However as you probably know what it does is include a reference to your external graphic resource, so you need to make sure this is installed on your printer. Otherwise try debugging the AFP renderer and check that it is invoking the include page segment method, if not you probably have something wrong in your FO xml. Good luck, if you still have problems I'll send you a simple example in early April. Rgds, Pete.

Hi Alfonso, Pete and I are using this feature currently without any problems in a production system. Unfortunately, we're both on holidays right now, and I can't get hold of any examples for you right now. If you can hold on, I'll be back in the office in the next fews days.

Carsten,
The renderer does not currently provide support for embedding images.
Please feel to submit a patch if you wish to develop this support
yourself, alternatively I will add it to our enhancement list.
The normal way to embed images in AFP is to use a include page segment
or overlay. This is a separate AFP resource and that you would need
developed (there are many companies who can do this for you, please see
our supporters page). You can then reference the Include Page Segment or
Overlay and it will be included provided the resource is added to your.
This is the most suitable way to include images as it reduces the size
of the AFP data stream (i.e. only a reference is added rather that the
complete raster image).
The syntax for using include page overlays/segments is fully documented
on the web site.=20
Rgds, Pete.

checked HSH Nordbank]
Hello,
i'm new to this forum, but any help will be appreciated.
I tried searching for this problem/error in the internet but couldn't
find
anything!
We want to put our company logo into the AFP document.
Unfortunaley this doesn't work!
After rendering the AFP Document doesn't have any image.
We got no error messages only a warning from FOP :
[INFO ][massendruck.render.AFPRenderBean:73]: building formatting object

[WARN ] [massendruck.render.AFPRenderBean:104]: Some static content

not fit in the area.
For including the image we use following snippet in the XSL-File :
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell text-align=3D"center" number-columns-spanned=3D"2">
<fo:block font-size=3D"7pt" line-height=3D"14pt">

</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
Anyone know why I'm getting this and how I can solve it?
Or how to include an image in the AFP Document?
Thanks in advance!

IBM does a pretty good job at obsfucating their urls. The document you want if probably "AFP: Programming Guide and Line Data Reference". To find this, follow the link on the AFP Renderer resources page at http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/resources.html to the IBM Printing System Support Manuals. Click on the "AFP Architecture" link, which takes you to a funny search results screen. The top result is the document you probably want. Good luck, Joe |

Hi all, I must write a program to read an afp stream to extract some (anagrafical ) data from it. I cannot find, on the web, a good documentation of the format of the file. As you write an afp stream I suppose you know a lot regarding the format: could someone please send some links to find some info ? I've followed those in one of the email of this list but I had problems finding what I am looking for.. thanks Michele Cannella |

The AFP Renderer development team is pleased to announce the release of AFP Renderer 1.1.0. This latest release can be downloaded from http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/download.html. The important changes since the last release (1.0.2) are: * added support for outline fonts * added sample fonts with distribution * added XML2AFP command-line utility * added examples * fixed rendering of tables removing double lines * fixed rendering of tables in landscape * fixed shading table cell problem in landscape * expanded and updated documentation Existing users should read the notes on upgrading the configuration in http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/configuring.html, as the structure of afp-fonts.xml has changed slightly. For more information about the AFP Renderer, see http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/. |

If the two documents are binary equivalent, then you should be able to discount the environment in which the AFP Renderer runs as a problem here. How is the generated AFP document being transferred to the MF? Is there some sort of line ending conversion happening in the transfer? (this should not be done, as it will corrupt the document). > If nothing becomes apparent, can you please send along the input XSL-FO, the > generated AFP document and the afp-fonts.xml file you are using. > Will try to send you the FO doc. > > Again my rewording my question,Can I send the AFP doc generated on windows > directly to MF without any conversion ? Yes, this is exactly the environment in which Pete and I use the AFP Renderer. Cheers, Joe |

Hi Avijit, The AFP Renderer will easily support the scenario you describe. Just copy the fonts into a location accessible from unix, and configure the afp-fonts.xml to point to the fonts. You then have the problem of generating valid XSL-FO from your XML, but one step at a time. Good luck, Joe |

It's hard to determine the problem from the description, but we may be able to gather further information to troubleshoot the problem. A few questions for a given document that doesn't work on Windows: * If you generate the same document on Solaris, does that print correctly on the MF? * If the document generated on Solaris works, can you compare the that to the doc generated on Windows to see the differences? (Most binary diffs tools should be fine, or even pipe the output of `od` through diff) If nothing becomes apparent, can you please send along the input XSL-FO, the generated AFP document and the afp-fonts.xml file you are using.

Hi, I am trying to convert an xml document to various output formats including afp. Currently we have a cobol mainframe batch program that converts a word perfect file. I was wondering if I can use the mainframe OS 390 afp fonts to render an afp document in unix ? Please give me some direction. Regards, Avi |
