RE: [afp-renderer-users] Line Spacing and Medium Map

[Prakash R. <P.R...@eu...>]

Pete,
 
We have the AFP fonts. It looks like the PDF is not ok. Is there a way to
change the line spacing without changing the fo?
 
The name specified in the IMM command is the name of a copy group in the
used formdef. The parameters (tray, duplex, jog, etc) specified in the copy
group is then used during print. In this way you can specify the print tray,
duplex, etc. That is the way ISIS work. Isn't that the way AFP works as
well?
 
Best regards,
Prakash.

Prakash,

You must have AFP fonts available for line spacing to work correctly, this
means that you need to have AFP font files that match the font metrics you
are using for PDF.

Regarding your second point, the form def should be handle by the software
wishing to print the AFP, the AFP Renderer is not intened as a full print
solution, any additional print information such as print tray, paper etc
should be handled by the software embedding the AFP Renderer. 

How would each page having an IMM command assist in specifying teh print
tray?

Rgds, Pete

Hi All,
 
I have tested the AFP renderer. Not competely successfully. May be I'm doing
something wrong. May be the renderer. I hope someone can answer that.
 
The line spacing in the AFP is different than the PDF generated from the
same fo. It looks like the line spacing in the AFP is too large. The partial
fo source:
 
<fo:block-container border-width="0.1mm" border-style="solid" width="49.9mm"
height="16mm" left="140.1mm" top="91.5mm" position="absolute"
font-size="8pt">
<fo:block padding-top="1mm" text-indent="1.5mm">Line 1</fo:block>
<fo:block text-indent="1.5mm">Line 2</fo:block>
<fo:block text-indent="1.5mm">Line 3</fo:block>
<fo:block text-indent="1.5mm">Line 4</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

Can someone tell me how the line spacing is determined.
 
Secondly. Shouldn't each AFP page start with a IMM (Invoke Mediup Map)
command? The name of which should be the same name as specified in the fo
master-reference. If that name is the name of the Copy Group in the Formdef
one can specify the print tray. This is now not possible.
 
Looking forward hearing from you all.
 
Prakash.
