Converting xml/xsl to pdf

Hi,
I am using apache's FOP 0.20.3, xerces 2.0.0.beta4 and xalan j.2.2.0 to convert xml/xsl file to pdf. The code is same as the one given in the org.apache.fop.apps.Driver class.
<pre>
     Driver driver = new Driver();
     driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
     InputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(new File(xmlFile), new File(xslFile));
     try
          XMLReader parser = inputHandler.getParser();
          driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFile));
          driver.render(parser, inputHandler.getInputSource());
     catch (FOPException fope)
          fope.printStackTrace();
     catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe)
          fnfe.printStackTrace();
</pre>
The xml and xsl files I am using are glossary.xml and glossary.xsl files that come with FOP.
Now, this code compiles successfully and while running gives the following exception:
<pre>
[ERROR]: Logger not set

Convert XML file into PDF file

<b>XML to PDF</b>i want to Convert XML file into PDF file pl. any one can suggests API's

Hi,
There are many ways to convert XML files to PDFs through java.
One of the easiest way is by using iText.jar which have classes for conversion.
The following are the required steps
1. Create a document object for the XML file ( Using DOM or SAX parser).
2. Parse the xml document and extract the content to write in PDF.
3.Create a itext Document object.
4.Get a PdfWriter instance for the PDF file.
5.Write in the pdf the extracted text using the document object.
Refer <a href="http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/examples/com/lowagie/examples/general/HelloWorld.java">here</a> for a simple pdf writer example.
Refer <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/xml.html">here</a> for examples of XML Parsers.

Proprietary Sys.= XML= XSL-FO= PDF In memory transform

I am trying to preform an in memory creation of a pdf (using XSL-FO and FOP) from data contained in a proprietary system.
The process I am using is:
1: get xml of the data in the proprietary system (this works and the xml is fine)
2: create the XSL-FO using the xml from stage 1 and an xslt (where I am going wrong)
3: transform the xml to pdf (this works if I save the XSL-FO.xml and the xslt used to disk and then run FOP seperately)
When I run the code I get a Fatal Error from FOP - Content not allowed in prolog. When I write the XSL-FO file to disk and look at it, it's not been transformed to XSL-FO and is missing all the mark-up.
I have put the code below - any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks
// Setup XML input - The methods to create the initial xml return a String
StringReader inSource = new StringReader( inResult );
// Setup XSLT Stylesheet - The fo styles are stored in the proprietary system
String foXSL = getStyleSheet("FOStyleSheet");
ByteArrayOutputStream foXMLba = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer( new StreamSource( new StringReader( foXSL ) ) );
Result foRes = new StreamResult( foXMLba );
transformer.transform( new StreamSource( inSource), foRes );
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF );
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
driver.setOutputStream( pdfOut );
driver.setInputSource( new InputSource( in_foResult ) );
driver.run();

an xslt (where I am going wrong)Yes, I would say that's a good guess at your problem. It does indeed sound like one of the common XSLT errors, where none of your templates are being matched and the default handling takes over; all that does is to copy the text nodes to the output.

Is XML+XSL possible within a PDF?

Hello!
After much searching all I could find were articles about converting xml+xsl INTO a pdf file. I'm wondering if I could embed XML+XSL INSIDE a pdf file and have it render. Does Reader support XSL processing? I'm new to pdf generation in general so any tips or advice would be useful and there is very little on the interwebs about XSL inside a pdf.
Thank you!

After looking at http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opensource/index.html I was under the impression that Reader used the Sablotron engine for some reason. What adobe products use Sablotron and XSL then?

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1940
in this blog they mentioned source & target path, but I read the values directly Through sender communication channel with out giving the source and target path in udf(calling the java code from imported archive, and excuted for converting xml to pdf file),
but i am getting above error,
Is there any possibility to return the converted pdf values to target field through udf
Pls help me.

Hi
Can u tell us what is the function of the UDF in your case ?
Apart from Converting the given input xml to pdf output, I dont see there is any other functionality within the UDF .. and the XMLTOPDF Class requires the two inputs to be passed when it is instantiated in the code
and now if you don't pass those parameters, it's going to throw an IO exception

How to convert xml file to xsl using java

Hi all,
I have an XML file with which i need to convert(transform) it to an xsl file using java.
I am new to converting xml file to xslt.Please send me if u have code .
Thanks in advance
regards
Ram

You seem to be asking the wrong question. An XSL file can be used to transform an XML file, but transforming an XML into an XSL does not make sense. The API for running XSL transforms on the Java platform is described here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/package-summary.html

Problem using xsl to convert xml to xml

I have and xml doc that has a format similar to this:
<HEADER>
<ORDER_NUMBER>
<ORDER_DATE>
<LINE>
<LINE_NUMBER>
<ITEM>
</LINE>
<LINE_NUMBER>
<ITEM>
</LINE>
</HEADER>
When I convert from xml to xml using xsl I do not get the second occurence of <LINE>, everything else looks fine.
Please help.
Thanks, John

Hi John,
I also have problems to convert xml to xml by xsl at command-line interface as follows.
CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib/xsu12.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/lib/xmlparserv2.jar:$ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib/classes12.zip
java oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl source.xml -s myxsl.xsl destination.xml
and I received error message as "Error occurred while processing myxsl.xsl: Error in expression: '*|/'."
Actually, the source xml file and xsl script I used were copied from the book "Professional XML".
Do you know what's the problem and could you show me setting for the classpath?
Thanks.

Converting XML and XSL into HTML

Hello!
I'm designing a servlet class that merges an xml file and xsl file into html that will be sent to the client. But I don't understand how the (sparsely documented) javax.xml.transform.dom package works. An exception is generated for a missing "version" tag, when I've included one that has worked on client-side xml/xsl pages before. If it matters, I'm using Apache Tomcat/JDK 1.4.
Here's the code:package mypackage.servlet.xml;

Hi!
I found the immediate answer with
dbFact.setNamespaceAware(true);As for parser, I'm just using the default JDK install. But I'd like to hear more on Xalan. Is it independent open source? How does Xalan compare to whatever is default in JDK?
Thanks

XML, XSL - HTML(JSP), bad UTF-8 encoding on Tomcat

I use simple transformation to create HTML (JSP) page from XML, XSL (both are encoded in UTF-8}. When doing this in embedded web server in JD9i developer, the result is fine. But when run at Tomcat 4.0.3, UTF-8 chars are displayed as 2 characters. It's interesting that the transformation gives different results:
- in JD9i the UTF-8 chars are left unchanged and shown good in IE browser
- in Tomcat the chars with acute (/) are transformed into "í" , "á" and so on and shown properly, whereas chars with caron (V) are encoded and shown badly.
Does somebody know solution to this ? Thanks.

Doing some more experiments reveals a subtle difference between GET and POST with Tomcat - it may apply to other application servers, but I have only tested with Tomcat 5 and Tomcat 6, so I can't say.
The following is essentially what most people have indicated you need to do to have your JSP handle UTF-8:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>My Title</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>This is what I couldn't get working with my GET (the default for forms) and ended up working when I specified the URIEncoding for the connector in the server.xml file.
It turns out that the above will work with no modifications to the server.xml file if the form method is POST. If you need to be able use GETs then you will need to modify the connector, otherwise it would seem nothing you do at the JSP or servlet level will make a difference, unless you want to convert each parameter manually:
String parameter = new String( request.getParameter("myParam").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8" );Edited by: ajmasx on Sep 27, 2007 10:20 AM

Convert Word doc to PDF

I need assistance on this issue:
"Enter Description of Issue:
We are trying to implement a solution to automatically convert Word documents generated by Siebel to PDF's in order to mail them to customers.
I see from other support requests you advice to find 3rd part software to do this. Can you tell me if you know of any 3rd party software that another Siebel customer has been able to use to do this?
We wish to call this software fom script or workflow so that the converted document can then be attached back into siebel and mailed to a customer.
I understand the principle of how we can get documents from the file system and then using com or a command line call an application that will do the conversion, but as yet we have not found a good 3rd party software to do the conversion."
So far, I suggest one Enhancement Request(12-161Y57N) to customer but seems is not enough.
The last update from customer side, was:
"Is it possible to just give me a plain answer to my main question.
Do you know of any other customers who have similar functionality and do you know what application they sed to do the conversion? "
Do you have any idea on regards on PDF converter?

Hi,
Can we convert the word doc to PDF using PI intarface.
I think it is not possible convert the word doc to PDF. Since they are Proprietary format of Microsoft and Adobe respectively
my source system sends a doc file & I have to convert it into a PDF doc and then further I have to sent it to target,
You might have to convert the word document to PDF using available software and then send to target system
You might have to develop some module program to convert.
There is one similar blog which explains conversion from XML to PDF. It might help you

Converted XML not showing multiple data entries correctly

Hello
I am creating a PDF Form from a xsd scheme but when I have data that could require multiple entries the converted xml is a mess. I am curently trying to create a way to add fields for multiple children. I created an expanding table and the fields are automatically copied when I click on „+“ or are deleted when I click on „-“ . If I have multiple rows for children then the converted xml looks like this :
The correct xml for multiple data entries should look like this (this is from a xml scheme not made in LiveCycle) :
Even if I copy the fields without creating a table, the converted xml is still a mess just like on the first image. Is there a way to show the xml from the PDF from correctly. I linked the xsd scheme that I am using for the PDF form: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B30LkLSwYgB4SFN5bTkyLW1fOVU/edit?usp=sharing

I am curently trying to create a way to add fields for multiple children. I created an expanding table and the fields are automatically copied when I click on „+“ or are deleted when I click on „-“ . If I have multiple rows for children then the converted xml looks like this :
The correct xml for multiple data entries should look like this (this is from a xml scheme not made in LiveCycle) :
Even if I copy the fields without creating a table, the converted xml is still a mess just like on the first image. Is there a way to show the xml from the PDF from correctly. I linked the xsd scheme that I am using for the PDF form: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B30LkLSwYgB4SFN5bTkyLW1fOVU/edit?usp=sharing
