xsl-fo

What's the difference between XSLT and XSL-FO ? Every resource I've read deal with them as if they were 1, or at least very closely tied.. Murph I was wondering about the basis of the question because I thought it was easy to answer, however as soon as you go here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/ it becomes clear that its actually a good question - because pretty much the first thing on the page is this statement: This specification defines the features and syntax for the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), a language for expressing stylesheets. It consists of two parts: a language for

I need to get text aligned right and left on the same line. This should be possible, but i can't seem to find a way. I'm using Apache FOP to convert xml to pdf. Can someone help me to get this right? Elegance wasn't a stated requirement, but this should fit the bill: <fo:block text-align-last="justify"> LEFT TEXT <fo:leader leader-pattern="space" /> RIGHT TEXT </fo:block> This works by justifying the last line of text in the block, so that the text begins at the left of the line and ends at the right. The leader, which is usually used on Table of Contents pages, stretches to fill the space

I'm having some issues getting the external-graphic to show in my PDF. I've tried using all sorts of paths using the url() but nothing seems to work. Is it something else I'm missing? <fo:table-cell> <fo:block> <fo:external-graphic src="url(ss/naam.png)"></fo:external-graphic> </fo:block> </fo:table-cell> I am using Apache FOP 1.1 Ver. first you should tell apache FOP that where is base path in follwing way. You should copy code as it is. fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); // for image base URL : images from Resource path of project String serverPath = request.getSession()

I'm using XSL-FO to generate an account statement print out. The PDF is actually just a simple table with a simple header on every page. The difficulty is that I have to display transaction volumes per page, e.g. Page 1 +------------------------------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | Text | Credit | Debit | Balance | +------------------------------+-----------+-----------+---------------------+ | Previous month | | | (*1) 1000 | | abc | 1000 | | 2000 | | abc | | 500 | 1500 | | abc | | 200 | 1300 | | ... | | | | | Carry over | (*2) 1000 | (*3) 700 | (*4) 1300 | +----------------

I create pdf files from xml files with FOP. I would like to display something on the last page of the pdf. The thing is I can not know how many pages are needed to display the content so how can I know I am on the actual last page? (each page-sequence can generate 1+ document pages according to the size of the content) Thanks. You can specify conditional page masters for general page layout and headers and footers (fo:static-content): http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#page-position Usage: 1.) In your fo:layout-master-set, define the different page masters you want to have. For example, a normal page

Could anyone suggest me a way to make long words (like serial numbers) to be wrapped? I tried some commercial software and there is no such issue. Is it a fop bug or probably there is a solution available? I can't insert zero length space after each character of every word in document. This solution sounds insane for me. You can specify the wrap-option attribute in your fo:block like so: <fo:block wrap-option="wrap"> ... stuff </fo:block> Here's the XSL-FO specification for this attribute: XSL Definition: Value : no-wrap | wrap | inherit Initial : wrap Applies to : fo:block, fo:inline, fo:page
