fo:instream-foreign-object does not work with svg:rects and Barcode4j+FOP cut off barcodes

[b....@freenet.de]

Hi there,

I've tried to render barcodes into pdf documents by using fop 0.20.5, fo:instream-foreign-object and barcode4j (release from 2004). It works fine if I paste the barcode4j-output into the fo-document. When using the extension (barcode-tags inside instream-foreign-object) the barcode gets chopped of (12 characters, 7 or 8 are shown). So I could work around this by inserting the svg into the foreign-object-tag. It gets really weird if I upgrade from 0.20.5 to 0.91 or 0.92. In this case batik complains about missing width-attributes from svg:rect-tags, but they're definitely there (just took the same snippet as with 0.20.5). So I took an example from the homepage (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/dev/fo/embedding.fo) and the same error message occurs (instead of the funky tiger *g*).

Any suggestions, sollutions, recommendations? (To be honest: I did not browse the archive and think nobody ran over this problem, due to the barcode-news and the missing Jan2006-release and the unparsable examples.)

Thanks so far...

How does the barcode tag look like? I'm not aware of any problems like
you describe with Barcode4J. Please give me an FO file so I can
reproduce.

Hehe, the "missing width attribute" problem is not new:
