Apache FOP format text

I'm using Apex en Apache FOP to producce PDF reports.
In the table i have some text for example: 'This is a <strong>short</strong> letter for me'
When i have print the report, the text will not be parsed, because the text 'short' isn't bold. How can i do that ?

Hi Bruinsmm,
Thanks for reply.
I did what you mentioned and it is working fine.
I could generate pdf file,
but when i am using report layout, it is giving me error
(The adope reader could not open test.pdf because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged
(for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)
is there any thing should be running with tomcat??
Thans and best regards.

  • LOGO in PDF file (Apache FOP)

    Hi all...I'm using the Apache FOP PDF printing option with the jsp packaged in the AppEx 3.0.1 install. I would like to put a logo in the header of the generated PDF file. I made a compy of the default generic columns layout and added this to the header section in Page Template:
    <fo:block>
    Test Header Changes
    <fo:external-graphic src="file:///tmp/FastenalLogo.png"/>
    </fo:block>
    The following error is then generated in the logs:

    Is it not possible to import an external image file into a PDF rendered by the Apache FOP? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Carl --
    I changed the image source to this:
    <xsl:variable name="_SECTION_NAME" select="string('master0')"/>
    <fo:static-content flow-name="region-header">
    <fo:block>
    Test Header Changes
    <fo:external-graphic src="http://epsilon.fastenal.com:7784/i/FastenalLogo.jpg" />

    <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="page-header">#PAGE_HEADER#</fo:inline>
    </fo:block>
    </fo:static-content>
    I can access the image through my web browser using the URL, but my log is throwing these errors:

    Could the fo block be in the wrong place in the document? I'm not very familiar with XSL-FO and may have just placed it wrong.
    One other thing I just noticed. The webserver is actually using SSL, which on windows systems results in a pop-up about security. If I change the URL to https using the SSL port, I receive a message about security certificates.
    Thanks,

  • Apache FOP not displaying Cyrillic properly

    Hi,
    I am using apache FOP to generate pdfs' in Russian. I have embedded the fonts into the application but the output is being displayed as html numerical codes.
    The html numerical codes are stored in the database but I am unable to render them properly. I know the fonts are embedded correctly because when I apply the fonts to English text, Russian characters are displayed in the pdf correctly.
    e.g the Russian characters are displayed like this:
    &#1087;&#1088;&#1086;&#1076;... etc
    Why are my codes not displaying properly ? I'm a bit lost at this point.
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    thanks for the reply.
    To clarify things a bit. My web page is submitting Russian text which is being stored in an Oracle database. This text is being stored in the &#xxxx; format. This formatting is displayed properly in a web browser but I am using Apache FOP to produce a pdf and the Russian text is not being displayed as the Russian characters but as the relative &#xxxx; codes. So these codes are not being translated back into their Russian Cyrillic symbols.
    I have configured FOP and embedded the Cyrillic TTF but these codes are still not displayed. I can apply the Cyrillic font style to English text and Russian characters are displayed so it seems that that cyrillic TTF is embedded properly.
    I am not generating an serialized xml file but rather creating a javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource object and with my xsl file I create the pdf code snippet below:
    thanks
    Paul
              //Setup a buffer to obtain the content length
              ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              // add fonts for Russian and Chinese certificates
              String fontConfig = path + "fonts/fontcfg.xml";
           FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
           fopFactory.setUserConfig(fontConfig);
           FOUserAgent foAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
              //Setup FOP
              Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,foAgent , out);
              //Setup Transformer
              Source xsltSrc = new StreamSource(new File(xslFile));
              TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
              Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xsltSrc);
              //Make sure the XSL transformation's result is piped through to FOP
              Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
              //Setup input
              Source domSrc = new DOMSource(xmlDom);         
           //Start the transformation and rendering process
              transformer.transform(domSrc, res);
              //Prepare response
              response.setContentType("application/pdf");
              response.setContentLength(out.size());

              response.getOutputStream().write(out.toByteArray());

  • PDF Printing with XSL-FO and Apache FOP

    Can anyone show me in the right direction for this? I've been hitting a wall for the past 2 weeks or so and it's really starting to infuriate me. How am I supposed to work this out? Where do I start? Let's say I create a layout file with a WYSIWYG XSL editor, in what format do I export it? XSL, XSLT or XSL-FO? I figured it was XSL-FO, but who knows. I tried them all anyways, but nothing seems to work. I seem to be missing a step or something, 'cause something's definitely not right.

    Hello Mathieu
    i assume that the default PDF printing is working, but that you want to create some better looking reports and therefore use a different non-generic XSL-FO.
    You can do several things in Apex but you can use the Apache-Fop conversion also indepent from Apex.
    What you need is:
    1) An XML (Data) File. You can get it from your report query when you say export it to XML.
    2) The XSL-FO (Layout) file. THis is the processing instruction that says how convert the XML Data into an XML-FO. You can create it manually or with some tool.
    3) The next step is to render the XML-FO into any output format (pdf, rtf, html)
    The creation of the XML-FO and of the PDF are done by the apache fop converter (cocoon or Batik framework if I remember correctly) in a single process but you can influence it so that both steps are done separately. See also: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/running.html
    The advantage is that you usually get much better error messages from the single steps.
    My recommendation would be to do all the steps with a very basic report first.
    Then gradually improve the complexity of the report, the data and the layout.

  • Help generate dynamic table in xslt for apache FOP

    For the following xml file, i need to generate an xsl-fo file to be converted into pdf.

  • Apache FOP Examples

    Hi,
    I am interested in using Apache FOP & Apex for PDF creation as are multiple others, can anyone post some finished example PDF's for those of us considering this method to look at?
    Thanks!

    I believe that this <xsl:value-of select="$ITEMS/LIST_ITEMS/ITEMS/def"/> will not work. You need to derive the value stored in ITEMS using $ITEMS and then concatentate the rest of the text to construct the path...
    Try this: 
    <xsl:value-of select="concat($ITEMS, '/LIST_ITEMS/ITEMS/def')"/>
    Thanks,

    In this day I have one issue and I was not able to resolve.
    Basically I found many post that speak of something similar. But don´t found one particular solution.
    I have one installation of APEX 3.1 and installed APache FOP 10.1.3.2.0, but this installations are on E-business suite 11.5.10.2
    First installed EBS 11.5.10.2 , then migrated DAtabase a 10.2.0.3, then installed APEX 3.1 and now installed OC4J Containers 10.1.3.2.0 and configured Apache FOP, my SO is Linux 4, I have jdk 1.4.2.
    I'm trying to print some reports as PDF and I have the following problem:
    I followed the step "5.Installing and Configuring Apache FOP" of http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html

    </orion-web-app>
    I have loaded the most stable jar files(fop-0.20.5) required for the generation of PDF.
    The same application runs well in JDeveloper(10.1.2.0.0)
    Could somebody help me out with this.
    Its very urgent.
    Need to be able to deploy this by evening.
    Thanks

    This means the code loading the element mappings does not recognize
    the SVGElementMapping as an ElementMapping, as it expects. The most
    likely reason is that they are loaded from different class loaders -That was the reason of my simple suggestion above.
    There are many ways that you can try now.
    One way is to put all libraries in your war into ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/applib. Also remove the following line
    <web-app-class-loader search-local-classes-first="true" include-war-manifest-class-path="false" />
    since this search-local-classes-first is problematic sometimes.
    It might be nice if you can verify that the classloader that loads SVGElementMapping is different from the one that loads Elementmapping at that point of code.
    Now Could somebody help me out as this is the problem of OC4J .Hmm, I would not say "problem of OC4J". A usage error or a false incompatibility at worst. "False" because there should be many normal and standard ways to make it work.

  • BIP Word Template and Apache FOP

    Hello:
    Can I create a report format using the BIP Word template .. export it as XSL-FO file and use it with the open source Apache-FOP from APEX?
    Is there some technical constraints or licensing issues with doing this ?
    Yesh

    The xslfo, you created from BIP , will have reference to functions , which are customized function written by oracle BIP in JAVA,
    so the apache-FOP has to know , that these functions are custom ones, not as normal XSL-fo...
    Manual Conversion from RTF to XSL-FO, and using them in Standard support should work i guess.
    The standard Supportgives only to XSL-FO, Advanced support helps you to get the RTF template , but for this, installation of BIP licensed is needed :)
    With e-biz license,i dont think, you can install BIP separately, that has to be with E-biz only.

  • Printing XLS, HTML, or RTF using Apache FOP

    Hi,
    Is it possible to print XLS, HTML, or RTF reports using Apache FOP? If not, is there another open source or free print server that will do this?
    Thank you.
    Martin

    Hello,
    >>
    Your going to want to study the Cocoon sitemap concept to see how to pipeline the xml and xsl to the right output.
    >>
    To get this working correctly you need to understand the Cocoon sitemap concept and how to read data out of the XML file your posting in order to pipeline it to the right rendering format. It's pretty much a hands on affair so it depends on what your trying to do, sorry there is no easier way to do it.
    In a future versions it will be easier to do this as you will be able to select specific end points per report.

  • Do I need to use Apache FOP ?

    Hi,
    I am configuring Oracle BI Publisher with APEX following the instructions in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html .
    After completing step *3 Installing and Configuring Oracle BI Publisher on Windows* I am able to print reports in desired PDF, DOC, XLS format etc from APEX and all the functionalities seem to be available.
    So my question is why should I follow step *5 Installing and Configuring Apache FOP* ? Is there any other extra benefit of doing that ? Am I missing anything here ?
    Please advise,
    Thanks
    Ashish Agarwal (PMP, OCM & OCP)
    http://www.dbcon.com.sg

    Hi Ashish,
    Sure, not a problem, please see my answers below:
    1) correct, you either use BI Publisher or Apache FOP or other XSL-FO processing engines as stated under #6
    2) the main advantage of using BI Publisher over Apache FOP is that BI Publisher allows for WYSIWYG report layout creation using the MS Word plug-in, and then using these templates as RTF based report layouts in Application Express. With Apache FOP or other XSL-FO processing engines you can't use RTF layouts, so you would have to design your report layouts using XSL-FO, which if done manually isn't exactly easy. There are other third-party visual design tools available though that provide help with that, just google for "xsl-fo design". Also, BI Publisher of course provides several advanced reporting capabilities when using this product directly, that are not available with the APEX / BI Publisher integration.
    3) BI Publisher Desktop, i.e. the MS Word Plug-In is part of the BI Publisher product, it's not a stand-alone product. So if you're a licensed BI Publisher user, you're also licensed to use BI Publisher Desktop. And BI Publisher Desktop doesn't provide much value if used stand-alone without the server.

  • Missing Format Text, Insert, and Edit Source, etc Options on Some Pages

    I’m having trouble understanding why certain pages have more edit options than others. I’m new to Sharepoint Workspace 2010 and I’ve been reading/ researching for answers for 2 days now. I tried to HyperSnap in some pictures however it will not allow me
    to until my account is verified and it's not sending a verification email, sorry!
    Issue: 
    On some pages, I have the edit pencil with lots of great edit options such as Format Text, Insert and Edit Source. (This is good!)
    On some pages I have no edit pencil, but when I go to Page
    à Edit Page à I get few edit options, not including Format Text, Insert or Edit Source. (This is not good)
    After reading other somewhat similar posts, I noticed that on the pages where I get lots of edit options, they show SitePages in the URL. Where I get few edit options, SitePages is not in the URL.
    Is there a fix so that I can have the expanded edit options in all of my pages? Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    In SharePoint we don’t have edit page options [ribbon toolbar page edit formatting options] for all types of page for application page we cannot edit application page like site pages
    again the missing edit button might be due to many causes:  
    Can you verify that it's not a permissions issue? Try navigating to the page in edit mode by appending to the url: your-site/Pages/YourPage.aspx?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Design
    Or you can try this
    your-site/Pages/YourPage.aspx? ?ToolPaneView=2
    1. You can check  that on some pages the ribbon is hidden by default. You need to make it visible by clicking on "Show Ribbon" on the "Site Actions" drop-down menu.
    2. You haven't been doing Visual Upgrade (which actually replaces your master page with the v4.master)
    3. If you have different master page and may be your master page is not 100% compatibile with SP2010, nor does it use the elements from v4.master (collaboration) or the example nightandday.master
    To add the button in your page you could use the <SharePoint:PageStateActionButton id="PageStateActionButton" runat="server" Visible="false" /> (if you've seen already that would generate the button on the left side of
    the ribbon)!
    Please can you ping the URL of the page and how you crated that page to further assist, we would be happy to help.

    Obviously, as seen above, I'm doing something wrong or Live View does not do all the functions that Design View use to do.  I realize I can still access Design View in non-Fluid Grid Layout documents and that is my current work-around.  I copy from my Word file into Design View available in non-Fluid, then copy that code into my Fluid Grid Layout document, not real efficient use of my time.  And, even that work-around may not be available after the next upgrade.

    Hans thank you for your reply and attention to this matter.  Moreover, with your steeped expertise I do not, in any fashion, intend to be flippant or capricious. 
    However, I do not believe the reply is on point since I'm not discussing the insertion of an HTML tag/element; but rather, the placing of complex formatted text into my various web pages.
    Design View and  2014.1 Live View seem to serve different functions.  That is, Design View, for us, serves as a highly sophisticated HTML5 code generator that allows us to properly display complex formatted text that originally is created as a Word docx file.  As I noted in my original post, the complex formatted text from the Word file is then pasted into Design View and thus properly renders on the web page.  I invite you to try this yourself.  Simply copy my properly formatted text in my original post (that can be found at "Using Design View the web page rendered this way:") to a Word file, and it will retain the complex formatting, then copy that Word file text to both Design View and  2014.1 Live View files.  Please apprise me of your results.
    Discussion has been had in at least two separate threads on the Design View disappearance in Fluid Grid.  In https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1597260 staff member Lalita wrote "It would be helpful for us if you list the issues you are seeing with fluid grid live view editing."  And in https://forums.adobe.com/message/6807088#6807088 staff member Subhadeep wrote "If you can list down the workflows you are trying while editing in Live View & the issues you are facing in doing so, it will help us understand what is amiss & suggest alternative workflows to do the same."  I believe I've pointed out issues when attempting to use Live View for functions or work flow that customarily had been done in Design View.
    Being a CC subscriber, if someone can provide me with a workflow using other additional Adobe products to get my complex formatted text from Word ultimately to my Dreamweaver web page, be it an image insert or whatever, I would take the suggestions.
    The difference in the coding of my example in my original post is as follows.
    Code when using Design View is:

    It is readily apparent that Design View is a much needed code generator in the Dreamweaver product.  Live View serves completely other, and needed, purposes.  Therefore, I still, after all the forum discussions, do not understand why Design View has been removed from Fluid Grid.
    Again Hans thank you for your reply.  But unless I'm missing something, citation to the links you provided does not solve my problem.  And that problem is this: If Design View is on its way out and thus will be completely removed from Dreamweaver at some point, then how do I provide my information (i.e. complex executive job descriptions) on my website?
    Apparently a vote is taking place https://forums.adobe.com/ideas/3922 on the issue of placing Design View back into Fluid Grid.  I do not understand why the need for two rather disjunctive functionalities are at the mercy of the democratic process.  These are matters of engineering principles not "town hall gatherings".

  • Regarding email notifications, I want to receive "Submitted Data" and Formatted Text... Is this possible?

    It seems as though I cannot receive formatted text, which is crucial to my form submissions making sense.

    Thank you so much, Ram!  I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!
    I am wondering if it possible to manually create a node in RSA6 for the InfoSet.  I tried it by doing the following:
    I went to RSA6 and clicked on the white icon for "Create Node".  I then entered the number "8", followed  by the name of the InfoSet.  (I entered an "8", because all our DataSources seem to start with an "8".  I'm not sure why.) 
    The DataSource now shows up, but when I double-click on it, nothing happens.  When I select it in the hierarchy and then click the icons for "Display" or "Change" or "Check", I just get an error message that says, "You have not selected any DataSources."
    Also, do you know where I can get my hands on the white paper? 
    Thanks again!
