Hi Steve, Does sound like a bug, if you can send me a complete FO which reproduces the problem I'll have a look at it on my return to the UK in April. Cheers, Pete. steve beattie <ste...@gm...> wrote: Hi Joe, Thanks for the info. I think I have a copy of the source code, so I'll have a look to see if I can spot anything that looks buggy.

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.

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 Jo, That's excellent, thanks for your help. I'll try it out this week. Cheers, Steve.

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.
