[afp-renderer-users] Difference in AFP and PDF borders

[steve b. <ste...@gm...>]

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.
