FOPNGSerializer
Hi,
somebody still tried to use the FOPNG Serializer to generate PDF?
(output.xmap of the pdf-plugin:
<map:serializer name="fo2pdf"
src="org.apache.cocoon.blocks.fop.FOPNGSerializer"
mime-type="application/pdf" />)
I only found a short thread within Cocoon-Community:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@cocoon.apache.org/msg38756.html
Are there any experiences to integrate this Serializer to Forrest?
I've found no starting point what is to do.
Kind regards
Martin Gmuer

Hello Johannes, great to hear from you.
Lets hope we can get your PDF stuff integrated.
See my reply to Martin earlier in this thread
wherein i explained our Cocoon version situation.
Our Cocoon is not up-to-date so we cannot include
the more recent Cocoon fop Block.

FOR-413: "PDF: rendering fails when graphics too big"
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-413
Our first step would be to update Forrest so as to use the new
FOP-0.9 rendering engine, i.e. FOP-NG and hope that some of the
long-standing PDF bugs go away (e.g. [1,2,3])
It seems that this could be achieved by "simply" replacing the
serialiser [5].
We installed and built Cocoon (2.2 as used by Forrest ?!) but did
not find the FOP-NG jars (learning Maven, still).
Does anybody know how to build (these) specific jars?
And then: how to integrate into Forrest?
Is it really just replacing the jars and adding "NG" as hinted in [5]?
Thanks,
Johannes

You would need to upgrade Forrest's packaged Cocoon
and include a new Cocoon FOP block into Forrest's lib/core
However, beware that we are stuck with an old
version of Cocoon 2.2 trunk. That new FOP stuff is
probably more recent.
See $FORREST_HOME/etc/cocoon_upgrade/README.txt
and http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/upgrading_08.html#cocoon
and various mail discussion.
