Hi,

  I have a C# application which successfully generate a .PDF file when a button is clicked on a WinForm. It then open the .pdf by calling process.Start().

  But I have a problem, which is that after I call driver.run(), there a thre new processes running which don't stop and prevent my application from exiting. Here is what the process list in vS debugger shows :

0               9148    Worker Thread   <No Name>               Normal  0
0               9268    Worker Thread   Event Dispatcher Thread         Normal  0
0               9672    Worker Thread   UI Thread               Normal  0

Any idea ?

Best Regards,
Fabien.

Hi,

I wanted to know that if we use nfop then can we create the pdf in japanese.

To write in japanese we need to use font ms gothic font.

Please advice me as this is very urgent.

Hello, I know that there are many ways to specify the font's directory, wiht
a configfile or programatically, but if I'm using the library
ApacheFop.Net.dll from a C# application, how can I tell nFOP to use the
fonts that are located in c:\windows\fonts ? I'm using the font Arial
specifically and it is installed on my system (I have the arial.ttf file),
the OS is Windows 2003 Server EE SP2.

Hello,

I'm just testing NFOP for hours and it is a nice tool, thanks to have 
ported FOP to .Net. And thanks to have made an update this year, that's 
really great.

I've just found an ugly stuff : image path must be full path. Is it a 
native FOP problem or a NFOP problem ?

Cheers
cyrille.

We are developing an application that produces PDF document and requires
transparent GIF images to be embedded in the documents.  Certain GIF
images containing transparency information are corrupted when viewed in
the PDF output generated by nFOP.  Most often the transparent area is
translated to black in the PDF.  Has anyone had success using
transparent GIFs with the current version of nFOP?  Do the developers
have intentions of improving transparent GIF functionality in a future
version of nFOP?  Thanks for any help!

Hello there

I would greatly appreciate a small amount of your time to assist with
my doctoral research at The University of Newcastle. The research
concerns open source licensing and we're seeking developers working on
Java projects. The research is supervised, ethics-approved, anonymous
and results will be freely available. Participation will also provide a
custom licensing report for your project. To learn more, please visit:

   http://licensing-research.newcastle.edu.au

Thanks for reading this email, and I hope you'll consider participating.

[Apologies for the off-topic message; no further emails will be sent]

You are invited to participate in an academic research project that I am
conducting into open source component licensing. The research is part of
my Doctorate of Business Administration degree at the University of
Newcastle, Australia, and is being supervised by Dr Len Whitehouse. The
research is entirely non-commercial, and full results will be made
freely available to any person who is interested. It is hoped that the
research will offer useful information about how component licensing is
approached in practice.

We are looking for Java software developers who are working on either
commercial or open source projects. Participation in the research is
entirely voluntary, and privacy has been carefully addressed to ensure
that participants cannot be identified. The research has received an
ethics clearance from the university.

Participation will usually take less than 30 minutes. If you
participate, you may optionally view a licensing compliance assessment
report for your project. This may be of general interest or assist in
planning licensing compliance strategies.

If you are interested in learning more about the research, please visit

Hello,

Do you guys know of a .net or C# component that could help me to interpreter 
and draw SVG tags from a XSL-FO File to a PDF file.

The NFOP version I´ve working with doesn´t support SVG Rendering.
Has anybody had success working with SVG?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rober

Subject: [Nfop-developers] Here's how to use (Unicode) fonts

There have been some questions concerning how to use (Unicode) fonts in=20
NFOP.
Generally, there are two methods: 1) By using userconfig.xml (not sure=20
how or even if this is implemented with NFOP) and 2) by coding (that's=20
described here). Both methods actually are doing same, at last.

The following method will ***not embed*** the fonts added into the PDF=20
document,

=3D=3D=3D>> Could anyone please point me to understand how? <<=3D=3D=3D

some parts of the code are Windows-specific, anyways, here's how:

1. Create the font metrics files=20
(http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html).

2. Get the NFOP source and add a folder /fonts/resources. Put the=20
metrics files there and in their properties, set the Build Action to=20
Embedded Resource.
Note that setting up the fonts at every rendering event takes some time=20
(the more fonts, the longer), so it would be probably be a better idea=20
to have the fonts setup done in satellite assemblies, each one for a=20
couple of fonts commonly used together in an XSL:FO project.

3. Some patches:
3.1. URLBuilder.java:
    public static URL buildURL(String spec) throws MalformedURLException
{
        if (spec =3D=3D null) throw new NullPointerException("spec must =
not=20
be null");
        // #RS 2006-10-10: 1. "new File(spec)" fails when "directory"=20
doesn't start
        // with a drive letter (or two backslashes, possibly).
        // On the other hand, "new URL(spec)" does fail when "directory"

doesn't
        // start with "file:///"
        return new URL(spec);
//        File f =3D new File(spec);
//        if (f.exists()) {
//            return new URL(f.toString());
//        } else {
//            URL u1 =3D new URL(spec);
//            return u1;
//        }
    }

3.2. PDFRenderer.java:
    private String getUnicodeString(char c) {
        StringBuffer buf =3D new StringBuffer(4);
=20
        byte[] uniBytes =3D null;
        try {
            char[] a =3D {c};
            // #rs 2006-10-10: UnicodeBigUnmarked fails with a
            // java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException. It doesn't exist=20
on  Windows.
            //uniBytes =3D new String(a).getBytes("UnicodeBigUnmarked");
            uniBytes =3D new String(a).getBytes("UnicodeBig");
        }=20
        catch (Exception e)=20
...

3.3. Driver.java:
    public Driver() {
        _stream =3D null;
        _treeBuilder =3D new FOTreeBuilder();
        setupDefaultMappings();
=20
        //#RS 2006-10-12: Support for additional (Unicode) fonts
        try

        }
        catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException fnfExc)
        {
            getLogger().fatalError(fnfExc.get_Message());
        }
    }

3.4. Configuration.java:
    private static URL buildBaseURL(String directory) throws=20
java.net.MalformedURLException {
        if (directory =3D=3D null) return null;
        // #RS 2006-10-10: 1. "new File(directory)" fails when=20
"directory" doesn't start

            URL baseURL =3D new URL(directory);
            return baseURL;
//        }
    }

3.5. PDFDocument.java:
    // #rs 20070321 Set to ISO as otherwise, there would be a=20

4. Add a new class CustomFontsConfiguration.java. Adapt the code to your

There have been some questions concerning how to use (Unicode) fonts in 
NFOP.
Generally, there are two methods: 1) By using userconfig.xml (not sure 
how or even if this is implemented with NFOP) and 2) by coding (that's 
described here). Both methods actually are doing same, at last.

The following method will ***not embed*** the fonts added into the PDF 
document,

===>> Could anyone please point me to understand how? <<===

some parts of the code are Windows-specific, anyways, here's how:

1. Create the font metrics files 
(http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/fonts.html).

2. Get the NFOP source and add a folder /fonts/resources. Put the 
metrics files there and in their properties, set the Build Action to 
Embedded Resource.
Note that setting up the fonts at every rendering event takes some time 
(the more fonts, the longer), so it would be probably be a better idea 
to have the fonts setup done in satellite assemblies, each one for a 
couple of fonts commonly used together in an XSL:FO project.

3. Some patches:
3.1. URLBuilder.java:
    public static URL buildURL(String spec) throws MalformedURLException {
        if (spec == null) throw new NullPointerException("spec must not 
be null");
        // #RS 2006-10-10: 1. "new File(spec)" fails when "directory" 
doesn't start
        // with a drive letter (or two backslashes, possibly).
        // On the other hand, "new URL(spec)" does fail when "directory" 
doesn't
        // start with "file:///"
        return new URL(spec);
//        File f = new File(spec);
//        if (f.exists()) {
//            return new URL(f.toString());
//        } else {
//            URL u1 = new URL(spec);
//            return u1;
//        }
    }

3.2. PDFRenderer.java:
    private String getUnicodeString(char c) {
        StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(4);

        byte[] uniBytes = null;
        try {
            char[] a = {c};
            // #rs 2006-10-10: UnicodeBigUnmarked fails with a
            // java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException. It doesn't exist 
on  Windows.
            //uniBytes = new String(a).getBytes("UnicodeBigUnmarked");
            uniBytes = new String(a).getBytes("UnicodeBig");
        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
...

3.3. Driver.java:
    public Driver() {
        _stream = null;
        _treeBuilder = new FOTreeBuilder();
        setupDefaultMappings();

        //#RS 2006-10-12: Support for additional (Unicode) fonts
        try
        {
            CustomFontsConfiguration.initialize();
        }
        catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException fnfExc)
        {
            getLogger().fatalError(fnfExc.get_Message());
        }
    }

3.4. Configuration.java:
    private static URL buildBaseURL(String directory) throws 
java.net.MalformedURLException {
        if (directory == null) return null;
        // #RS 2006-10-10: 1. "new File(directory)" fails when 
"directory" doesn't start
        // with a drive letter (or two backslashes, possibly).
        // On the other hand, "new URL(directory)" does fail when 
"directory" doesn't
        // start with "file:///"
//        File dir = new File(directory);
//        if (dir.isDirectory()) {
//            return new URL(dir.toString());
//        } else {
            URL baseURL = new URL(directory);
            return baseURL;
//        }
    }

3.5. PDFDocument.java:
    // #rs 20070321 Set to ISO as otherwise, there would be a 
    // UnsupportedEncodingException in PDFFont.toPDF().
    // Attention: The actual problem probably sits elsewhere, and this 
might lead to follow-up issues.
    public static final String ENCODING = "ISO-8859-1";
    //public static final String ENCODING = "UTF-8";

3.6. PFBParser.java:
    // #rs 20070321: Added the constructor.
    // Else, Visual Studio wouldn't step into the "static" block - d'uh!
    public PFBParser()
    {
    }

    static {
        // #rs 20070321: US-ASCII isn't supported on my system.
        // Use some other 2-byte charset.     
        try
        {
            CURRENTFILE_EEXEC = "currentfile eexec".getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
            CLEARTOMARK = "cleartomark".getBytes("ISO-8859-1");
        }
        catch (java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException e)
        {
            throw new RuntimeException("Incompatible VM. It doesn't 
support the US-ASCII encoding");
        }
        //try {
        //    CURRENTFILE_EEXEC = "currentfile eexec".getBytes("US-ASCII");
        //    CLEARTOMARK = "cleartomark".getBytes("US-ASCII");
        //} catch (java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        //    throw new RuntimeException("Incompatible VM. It doesn't 
support the US-ASCII encoding");
        //}
    }

4. Add a new class CustomFontsConfiguration.java. Adapt the code to your 
font and file names, etc., and generally, step through it debugging one 
time to see if it's all working with your system. The code is a bit 
rough in parts.

Togni,

I can only tell you that to the best of my knowledge the project is 100%
.NET, and based on that I would be very surprised if it didn't run on =
2003
Server.  I'm not sure what the criteria of "an explicit agreement" would =
be;
I can only tell you my best guess based on what I know.

Hy,

I have a problem with nfop, i don't know if it's possible, but in fop yes,
so why not ?

I would like to put arial verdana and century gothic fonts (it is in windows
by default) in nfop,

I do the xml metrics, but I don't see where I can link the font with nfop.

If you have a idea, or if you know something on this problem (like "it's
impossible !" or other thing for pleasure),

 it's really nice to send me a mail as soon is possible.

We are in a Hardcore deadline, and wee don't have the good font on our
document, it's really terrible for the client!

Sorry for my poor English.

And have a good day 

   Cordialy

Dear sirs,

=20

Is it possible to generate via nFop a PDF that contains the javascript
block to 'silent print'. This to prevent that a user needs to click the
print button for each report request ?

=20

We can do this now by opening the PDF after creation and adding a
javascript block (using tall pdf component API).  We want to eliminate
this step and add the Javascript block directly during the FOP
rendering.

=20

Hope you can help.

Hi!

I am migrating a .NET solution (on fop 0.2.5) using nfop dll (released last
year) to the latest fop version 0.9.2beta.
This new fop version has enhancements we would like to incorporate in our
solution (specially the new possibilities to control page breaks,...).

Do you have any plans on when a new release of nFOP will be available?
If this is not going to be in the near future, what do you advise regrading
this need to implement the "page-breaks" functionalities?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Best regards,

ACO

Hi,
It looks as though nfop has no way of displaying in a component as
opposed to creating a file - is this correct?
Cheers
Antoine
ps. I realise .net awt support is pretty weak - is this the reason?

-- 
This is where I should put some witty comment.

Hi NFop developers and users,

Are there plans to port the latest FOP code to J#?

Also I was wondering if the process of porting FOP to J# was documented?

Thanks,
John

Hi Forrest,

=20

I hope you find NFOP useful.  As with any SourceForge project the
license is indicated on the project summary page.  This page is at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nfop.  Under the green "Download NFop"
tag there is a note, License: Apache Software License.  This is the
license for NFop because it is a port of the Apache FOP project, and
that's the license it uses.  The text of this license is available at
http://www.apache.org/licenses.

=20

I believe you will find this license will allow you to do most of what
you'd like to do at zero cost and without much restriction, but you
should read through the license to ensure it's a good fit for your
organization and situation.
