Problem in generating a PDF using pdf-transcoder.jar
http://www.nabble.com/user-files/235785/FromPDFTranscoderNotUsingFOP.pdf
FromPDFTranscoderNotUsingFOP.pdf
I was using fop.jar to convert an SVGDocument to PDF . Though the
generated PDF has all the background colour, Graphic Image and barcode
values rendered in it , the text values were not rendered. (Please see the
attached SamplePDFFromGraphicsNodeUsingFOP.pdf) .
After going through a lot of mailing lists , I tried to generate the PDF
using the pdf-transcoder.jar instead of fop.jar (but used the same code ).
Then I found that the text values are rendered but the positioning of those
fields is completely wrong . (Please see the attached
SamplePDFFromGraphicsNodeNotUsingFOP.pdf) .
The code which I have used in both the cases is as follows :
1. From the SVGDocument , build the GraphicsNode using BridgeContext and
UserAgent.
2. Obtain a PDFDocumentGraphics2D object.
3. Use the paint() method of GraphicsNode and pass the
PDFDocumentGraphics2D object to it.
Though the code fragment used in both the cases is same , I could not
understand the difference in the generated PDFs using the respective jars.
Also , I tried to use the PDFTranscoder.class to generate the PDF with the
fop.jar and pdf-transcoder.jar , and I found the same difference in the
output as described above. (Please see the attached
FromPDFTranscoderUsingFOP.pdf and PDFTranscoderNotUsingFOP.pdf)
looking for a quick help ....

Karthik,
the XML file you attached might be a correct SVG file, but it does not
contain any SVG painting elements, just some vendor-specific tags which
Batik knows nothing about. There's no chance for us to reproduce your
problem with this file.
BTW, there's no point in also writing to me directly. I'm on this list
and will answer if I have anything to contribute.

Re: Problem in generating a PDF using pdf-transcoder.jar
Posted by karrakarthik <ka...@yasutech.com>.
Hi Thomas ,
Please find attached the source SVG (SampleSVGDoc.xml) and the
PDFTranscoder code I have used to generate the PDF (PDFGenerator.java) . Try
to generate the PDF using fop.jar and pdf-transcoder.jar and you can see the
difference in the output . The source SVG has a lot of our custom fields ..
so I have attached the java code which uses the PDFTranscoder (and not the
GraphicsNode implementation) . I was trying to get the required output as
the PDF generated using fop.jar with all the field values rendered .
Looking for your quick reply...
Thanks,
karthik

Hi Karra,
Can you provide the source SVG that is causing you problems?

What Fop.jar there are many possibilities. The most likely
would be the FOP 0.20.5 jar which is ancient, and not likely to
work with many current versions of Batik.

I looked at this output and everything looked good to me.
Can you be more explicit about what is wrong about the positioning?

This code won't work in all cases (or at the least won't
provide very good PDF as the text will have to be turned into
paths since the PDF Graphics 2D can't handle a GlyphVector
well (really a problem with GlyphVector not the PDF Graphics2D)).
The PDF Transcoder tries to take care of these problems.

Different versions can easily explain it.
