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.

In office word bi publisher plugin, load the xml, the chart can be generated.
The above exception only occurs in some linux and solaris platforms, but never occurs in windows.
The following plateform throws exception.
Oracle Linux Server release 5.6 + java version "1.6.0_25"
The following plateform doesn't throw exception.
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage) + java version "1.6.0_05"
The strange thing is in those platforms which can throw exception, if the code is not running in EJB, the chart still can be generated.
In other words, if the normal web or standalone app invokes that program; the chart can be generated.
The java code is as below.
 public static void generate(String inputXML, String pdfTempPath, String outputPDF) {
 Reader reader = null;
 try {
 File xmlFile = new File(inputXML);
 reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(xmlFile), "UTF-8"));
 ByteArrayOutputStream tmpXSL = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 RTFProcessor rtfProcessor = new RTFProcessor(pdfTempPath);
 rtfProcessor.setOutput(tmpXSL);
 rtfProcessor.process();
 ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(tmpXSL.toByteArray());
 FOProcessor processor = new FOProcessor();
 processor.setData(reader);
 processor.setTemplate(in);
 processor.setOutput(outputPDF);
 processor.setOutputFormat(FOProcessor.FORMAT_PDF);
 processor.generate();
 catch(Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 finally {
 try {
 if(reader!=null) {
 reader.close();
 } catch (Exception e) {
Can anyone explain why this exception is thrown?
Thanks a lot.

Hello Tux Dueñas,
I think you need to have ACL's setup in Oracle 11g in order to be able to connect to the BI Publisher server. Check the following link on how to setup ACL's in 11g...

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.

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.

Output Photobooks to PDF using Lightroom vs Aperture

Hello,
I have been using Lightroom since it was first launched and I love it. However, now I need to find a good way to create and layout my own photobook and output it to PDF so I can publish it on Lulu.com and it looks like Lightroom lacks a feature like this, while Aperture offers a pretty good way for users to create their own books and export to PDF.
Is that really so ? Are there any plans for Lightroom to offer this feature as well ? I do not want to pay $200 on Aperture just for that when I am so happy with Lightroom.
Please advise !
Thanks !
celso.

Is layout flexibility the key issue for you? For example, you could generate PDFs of sections from Lightroom's Print workspace, then upload them. I've tried this - though I would add that it's not as easy as it should be (luckily I also have InDesign). What are your key issues?

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.

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.

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">

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
Think here how to save pdf in APEX 3.0 you can find more information about this

XSQL-022 error on using FOP - serializer class not found; urgent!

Hi all,
currently using XDK 9.2.0.1.0. On trying to invoke Apache FOP serializer I just get the following error message:
XSQL-022: Cannot load serializer class oracle.xml.xsql.serializers.fopserializer
and I really don't know why....
Running XSQL Servlet within Tomcat 4 Engine, but error pops up using both, Tomcat way and/or just the commandline invoker xsql.bat.
Generally XSQL Servlet is working correctly.
My classpath setting contains:
xmlparserv2.jar; batik.jar; classes12.jar; fop.jar; fopserializer.jar; oraclexsql.jar; sax2.jar; xalan-2.0.0.jar; xalanj1compat.jar; xerces-1.2.3.jar; xschema.jar; XSQLConfig.jar; xsu12.jar
The serializer being redefined in XSQLConfig is just:
<serializer>
<name>FOP203</name>
<class>oracle.xml.xsql.serializers.fopserializer</class>
</serializer>
This is because of using FOP 0.20.3, so having my own serializer class due to API change in FOP 0.20.x; my fopserializer is looking like that:

FOPDriver.setOutputStream(req.getOutputStream());
FOPDriver.render(doc);
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
In my XSQL file I'm using the following PI:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="listemps.fo" serializer="FOP203"?>
Any suggestions what is wrong in here ?
Can't use the original xsqlserializer.jar either - same error.
Thanks in advance
Jochen

Hi Jochen,
I'm working with Tomcat 4.0.3, FOP 20.0.3 and XDK 9.2.0.1.0, too.
I've copied all the jar-files into tomcat/common/lib. I think that you can't use the MessageHandler in fop20.0.3. I'm using the following serializer:
package diva.xml.xsql.serializers;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import oracle.xml.xsql.*;
import org.apache.fop.apps.*;
import org.apache.log.*;
import org.apache.log.format.*;
import org.apache.log.output.io.*;
import org.apache.avalon.*;
import java.io.*;
public class XSQLFOP203Serializer implements XSQLDocumentSerializer {
private static final String PDFMIME = "application/pdf";
private static final String CONFPATH = "/usr/local/fop/conf/userconfig.xml";
public void serialize(Document doc, XSQLPageRequest env) throws Throwable {
try {
// Open user config file
File userConfigFile = new File(CONFPATH);
Options options = new Options(userConfigFile);
// First make sure we can load the driver
Driver FOPDriver = new Driver();
// Setup logging
Hierarchy hierarchy = Hierarchy.getDefaultHierarchy();
PatternFormatter formatter = new PatternFormatter("[%{priority}]: %{message}\n%{throwable}" );
LogTarget target = null;
target = new StreamTarget(System.out, formatter);
hierarchy.setDefaultLogTarget(target);
Logger log = hierarchy.getLoggerFor("fop");
log.setPriority(Priority.INFO);
FOPDriver.setLogger(log);
// Then set the content type before getting the reader/
env.setContentType(PDFMIME);
FOPDriver.setRenderer(FOPDriver.RENDER_PDF);
FOPDriver.setOutputStream(env.getOutputStream());
FOPDriver.render(doc);
catch (Exception e) {
// Cannot write PDF output for the error anyway.
// So maybe this stack trace will be useful info
e.printStackTrace(System.err);
Hope this helps
Uwe
