Arabic pdf using FOP

hello all ..
i m able to generate the pdf in arabic format using FOP 0.20.4 but the problem is that the data that comes from database (arabic data in oracle database) is not displayed properly and the direction of the data is not correct. Please help me if someone has tried to generate the arabic pdf.
thanks in advance
gurpreet singh

No i m not using iText. I m using FOP. But if u know
the solution for iText then please help me as i tried
to use that too but arabic data is not displayed.
Gurpreet SinghKaaka, yeh dekho. http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/#part3
There are a number of examples using Unicode and fonts- they might be of some help.
I am not too familiar with iText, so you may want to ask specific questions over there.
Here is a link for FOP:

Converting xml file with arabic content to pdf using FOP

Hello all
I am trying to convert a dynamically generated xml file in which most of the data comes from the oracle database with arabic content, to pdf using FOP. I have used "Windows-1256" encoding for the xml. If i open the xml generated with the internet explorer the arabic content displays properly but the pdf is not generated and the acrobat reader shows the file as corrupted or not supported. Please help me. Its very urgent.
Thanks & Regards
Gurpreet Singh

There is no direct support for importing RTF from an XML extract. Perhaps feature 1514 "Mapping formatted XML data into multiline field" will be of some use. This was released in 11.0, I believe.
Essentially you can establish paragraph and certain text formatting like bold and underline when you include the proper token information in the data. I believe this is similar to simple HTML tokens.
Example: <FIELD>First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.</FIELD>
The result is something like this:
First paragraph of data.New paragraph with bold and underline text. Rest of paragraph normal.

means that a native library is missing (ie .dll on windows, .so on most unix, .sl on other unix). The default behaviour is to try and load librarys from the CLASSPATH variable, but apps can try to locate them in other ways.

Output Charts to PDF using FOP

Does anybody know is it possible to output ones charts to PDF format using the FOP??

Hello,
You could use something like the Report to FOP howto and by posting the SVG source get a PDF. I have never done that but in theory it should work.
I have taken the source by hand and rendered FOP and that works, the only issue was the styles and class's had to be all put into the custom CSS section of the Chart attributes.

Generate multiple PDFs using FOP

Hello,
please take a look to the following code snipplet it is intended for the generation of a PDF document. The PDF-content is written to an OutputStream which works quite well.
The problem is that I want to append some more PDF content to the OutpuStream, but these seams to be impossible. Is there anybody who merged several PDF-Streams to one "big OutputStream" ?
try
driver.setOutputStream(pdf);
//Setup XSLT
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslt));
//Setup input for XSLT transformation
Source src = new StreamSource(xml);
//Resulting SAX events (the generated FO) must be piped through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler());
//Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
transformer.transform(src, res);
System.out.println("first transformation...");
finally
pdf.close();
}

Hang on, your thread title suggests you want to generate multiple PDF documents from a single xml source, but the text is talking about combining pdf content.
I'm not sure which one you really want so I'll the first one.
I've recently had to generate multiple pdf documents from a single xml source. I used the following (hoping the tags render okay):
 <xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="html">
 
 <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
 <xsl:call-template name="masterSet"/>
 
 <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
 </fo:root>
 </xsl:result-document>I used the Saxon engine to split the xml into multiple .fo documents and then ran FOP over each of these.
The 'xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="html"' element does the splitting. Obviously, the filename variable defines the path to the outpute file. You'll no doubt define that within some kind of for-each loop.

Printing PDF documents using FOP

Hi,
I seem to be getting the following error when printing to PDF using FOP:
report error:
ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1186
ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
I've set up PDF printing by following the (FOP) instructions in the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
I've verified that my OC4J container and the jsp page apex_fop.jsp is running as it should as I can get PDF documents back if I call the jsp page outside of APEX (by sending in my own template and xml request parameters).
I've also verified that I do hit the apex_fop.jsp page when trying to print from within the APEX application. The problem is that the two parameters template and xml are both null when trying to print PDF from APEX.
It appears as though APEX is not sending in the template and xml request parameters.
My test case is to create a simply report query in shared components, use a generic layout, select the pdf option and click on Test Report. The result is the error shown above.
Any ideas? I know I'm close!
btw, I'm using 10g and APEX 3.1

Not sure what to make of this, but it does give the xact same error each time.
For what it's worth, I can successfully call a test page per Marc Sewtz's blog, so conceptually something is working, which is progress. I'll keep at it, but suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the direction.

Problem with number-fields in PDF Output Using FOP

When generating PDF Output using FOP as described in the utilitiy provided in the HTMLDB Studio http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:44:12104450162492733947::::P44_ID:1522
formatted numbers over 1,000 are resolved as characters (because of the comma) and are therefore right justified. This results in alignment issues for numeric columns.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to work around this.
Thanks,
David

Hello,
Your probably going to have to edit the xslt to get the result either by stripping out the comma or by setting that column to explicitly align the way you want it.

Sync Text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP

Hi,
How to sync text alignment in HTMLEditor and a PDF generated using FOP ?
I tried setting the dimensions of HTMLEditor and PDF in pixels by calculating the size in Pixels for A4 paper size with a particular dpi value.
Have done the font settings as well. The problem is I see uneven line cuts in the PDF as compared to HTMLEditor.
Thanks.

It's not a realistic expectation. You are expecting the PDF produced by whoever provided your FOP implementation to observe exactly the same typographical rules as HTMLEditor. Basically it won't, and there is no way to enforce it. Line breaking/hyphenation/word spacing algorithms can be of great complexity. You are expecting two systems that aren't specified to agree, to agree.

Chinese Charcters in PDF using Apache FOP

Hi,
I am creating a PDF using Apache FOP.
This data contains Chinese characters.
On APEX 3.1, I couldn't contain Chinese characters in PDF.
On APEX 3.2, is it possible?
Is there any way that I don't have to use BI Publisher?
Please advise on this.
Thanks

Hi, Karthik

Convert arabic word document to pdf using Inbound Refinery

convert arabic word document to pdf using Inbound Refinery creating problem. After pdf convert the converted pdf changes to left to right instead of right to left.

In that case you will need to look at the Adobe LiveCycle ES PDF Generator product, as it is licensed and suitable for server-based conversion. Adobe Acrobat can not legally be used in the environment that you describe.

How to open an Arabic PDF in Illustrator CS3 ME without outlining the font?

Hi,
I need to use Illustrator CS3 ME (Middle East) in order to edit some pages of an Arabic PDF file.
Now, the problem is that as soon as I open the page in Illustrator, all of the Arabic text gets outlined. The English text doesn't get outlined.
I need to edit the text, so this is a big problem.
I don't have the original source files (InDesign).
Also, it is too much editing to be doing in Acrobat.
Is there some sort of solution for this?
Thanks,
Ola

Hi,
The font is Arial, which fully supports Arabic, as far as I know.
How do I enable glyph protection in the prefs?
How do I set the glyph substituion in the type palette? I am sorry for the
ignorance, but I usually work with InDesign, and quite rarely with
Ilustrator. This is a special case for me...
The formatting is very ordinary. Nothing special.
I really hope there is some solution for this....
Ola
2010/6/4 Mylenium <[email protected]>
What fonts does it use? Is glyph protection enabled in teh prefs? What are
the settings for glyph substitution in the type palette? Does it have any
specific formatting? If it gets outlined, it was probably mangled in ways
that prevent using the life font or the relevant font is missing
alltogether...

Report Output in PDF using htmldb_example.xslt yields blank page; commas

I am able to generate a PDF file from a given region using FOP (Formatting Objects Processor). The file that is produced in the Adobe reader produces a nice report with a header and footer region. However, there is always a blank page (containing the header and footer information only). Also, the report produced contains mixed data (text, dates MM-MON-RR and numbers (1.00 3.00 named Hours and Days) and totals. For certain reports, the total lines for the 2 number columns could get into the thousands (1,996.54 284.52). When the comma in the number is introduced, the total row will no longer align with the detail rows.
I know that htmldb_example.xslt is only an example, but has anybody experienced this behavior?
Of note, the example file "hr_employees.pdf" that is downloaded from Oracle also has a blank page.

Code changed in htmldb_example.xslt to fix comma/number format and extra page:

<fo:block font-size="8pt">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=".=translate(.,translate(.,'0123456789+-,.',''),'')">
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">end</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="string(number(.))='NaN'">
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">end</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block
Page break code, before:
<fo:table break-after="page" font-family="Helvetica">
after, (no extra page):
<fo:table font-family="Helvetica">

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.
