postscript images missing in PDF output
Hi,
I've searched and Googled and tried many iterations of setting parameters but
I just can't seem to find the answer to this one.
I'm currently using 0.91 beta to output to PDF. When I open the PDF file all
of images are missing. I'm using EPS as sources for images.
I've read on the Apache Fop page that this was a limitation of Acrobat because
it does not have a built-in postscript interpreter. Postscript images would
not show up in the PDF viewer but would print to a postscript printer. This
was also the case for 20.5. So to get around that, I found the work around
that somebody posted in which you run command line filters, pdftops, then
ps2pdf, and the images would be present (though you would lose bookmarks in
20.5). So I tried this same approach for 0.91 beta and it didn't work; my
images are still missing.
I checked the compliance page and did not see anything relating to this. I
did find a thread on the fop-users that didn't seem to be related that talked
about setting content-height and content-width to 'scale-to-fit', so I tried
that also but no luck. Previously, content-height, content-width, height,
and width were all set to auto.
Here's the <snip>
<fo:block text-align="center"><fo:block id="serd_fig_tx_term" keep-
together="auto" keep-with-next="auto" space-before.minimum="0.5em"
space-before. optimum="1em" space-before.maximum="2em"
space-after.minimum="0.5em" space-after. optimum="1em"
space-after.maximum="2em"><fo:block font-weight="bold" font-
size="12pt" hyphenate="false" space-after.minimum="0.4em"
space-after.optimum="0. 6em" space-after.maximum="0.8em"
space-before.optimum="1em" space-before.minimum="0. 8em"
space-before.maximum="1.2em"
keep-with-next.within-column="always">Figure  1. SERDES Transmitter
Termination</fo:block><fo:block text-align="center"><fo: external-graphic
src="url(images/serdes-tx-term.eps)" width="auto" height="auto"
content-width="auto" content-height="auto"
text-align="center"/></fo:block></fo: block></fo:block>
******
As I stated above, if use this exact same block and use 20.5, then the
filters, my images will appear. If I use 0.91 beta, then the filters, no
images.
My guess is that since 0.91 beta is more strict with interpretation that it
doesn't like something about this block. However I didn't see anything in
the output with the debug switch on (I might have missed it tho!).
I'm at a loss. Is it something _really_ obvious?
Regards,
Jim

Hi Kai,
Thank you very much for the insight. It worked !!!
And the fo's syntax is:
<fo:external-graphic src="url('images/myimage.gif')"/>
It also works without the url():
<fo:external-graphic src="images/myimage.gif"/>
Best regards,
Diego Guillen

You can configure the FOPSerializer in sitemap.xmap to use a user config
file where you can set the base directory:
<map:serializer logger="sitemap.serializer.fo2pdf"
mime-type="application/pdf" name="fo2pdf"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.FOPSerializer">
<user-config>WEB-INF/fop-config.xml</user-config>

displaying images in XSL-FO for Apache Cocoon
Posted by Diego F Guillen <ad...@tpg.com.au>.
Hi all,
I have been using Apache Cocoon 2.1.8 (which uses Apache FOP 0.20.5).
I have coded xsl-fo and managed to display PDF successfully with:
headers, footers, paragraphs, lists, and tables.
However, here is where I need your help:
I have generated the following xsl-fo for displaying images in PDF,
which doesn't seem to work:
[I've tried all of the cases below, without results]
[I'm omitting the enclosing <fo> tags]
<fo:external-graphic src="images/myimage.gif"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*url(*images/myimage.gif*)*"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*file:/*images/myimage.gif"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*url(file:/*images/myimage.gif*)*"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*../*images/myimage.gif"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*url(../*images/myimage.gif*)*"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*file:/../*images/myimage.gif"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*url(file:/../*images/myimage.gif*)*"/>
My project structure is:
* test/
sitemap.xmap
content/
testfile.xml (containing docbook)
images/
myimage.gif
styles/
mydbk2pdf.xsl (containing the code above)
My sitemap.xmap contains the following fragments:
<!-- for processing pdf requests -->
<map:match pattern="test/*.pdf">
<map:generate type="file" src="test/content/{1}.xml"/>
<map:transform type="xslt" src="styles/mydbk2pdf.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
</map:match>
<!-- for processing images -->
<map:match pattern="images/**.gif">
<map:read src="context://test/images/{1}.gif" mime-type="image/gif"/>
</map:match>
Your insight will be much appreciated.
I would also appreciate if someone could give me an example that works.
Best resgards,
Diego Guillen

I've recently had to fix EPS-embedding in PDF. Somehow it was broken in
FOP Trunk.
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=386327&view=rev
So, if you get the source code directory from Subversion your problem
should be fixed. Just note that Adobe has deprecated that feature
beginning with PDF 1.4. It should not be used anymore.

Jeremias,
Thanks for your help!
As a follow-up, does the fact that Adobe has deprecated EPS embedding imply
that one should only use SVG if vector graphics are desired for PDF output
with FOP?
