RE : Contributing to FOP (Re: representative example needed)

[David Gagnon <dg...@accovia.com>]

Hi all,

 

  I was looking for a good example as well those pdf are impressive.  I was
wondering if the .fo and .xml regarding those examples have been posted
somewhere?  I looked into the bug database and haven`t found them are they
available?

 

Thanks for your help!!

/David

That was really awkward, and not what I intended.

The URL’s should work by now. Sorry about that.

Here they are again:

Of course you are free to do that.

I will do my best to get there!

 

Maybe I could implement support for CMYK and Spot colors to get started, if
this is of interest to you.

Would’nt this be cool?:

<fo:block color=”spot(‘PANTONE 1205 C’, 1.0)”>Hello FOP</fo:block>

I should say a few words as well. 

 

I work as a computer programmer for a small software firm. 

 

We have thought for a long time that it is time to give something back to
FOP, 

in form of development contribution. 

I have been programming PDF components for a long time and know the PDF file
format, as well as XSL-FO. 

Therefore, i think i might be able to help out. 

However, we havent really taken the time for that. Now i think we can do
that, so i hereby also let you know that i am interested in starting to
contribute. 

 

Thanks for the kind words, and we look forward to receiving PATCHes from
you. Here's a link to help you get started.

3 examples of documents that we have generated(targeting mass printing for
broschure production) you can find here: 

http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample1.pdf 

 

http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample2.pdf 

 

http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample3.pdf 

 

BTW I have a couple of questions: 

- if we like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post this
example PDF? 

- if we like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post the input
files (XSL-FO, XML, XSLT, etc.)? 

 

Unfortunately, I get an error when I try to view those links: 

 

HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address of the client has been rejected.

Perhaps after you've participated in the FOP community for some time, and
your name becomes familiar to us (and hopefully made some contributions to
the code! :-p) you may be invited to become a committer for Apache FOP! 

 

Cheers!
