print date at document view time
Hi,
I didn't find anything in the XSL-FO standard, but is there a way in FOP to
generate a document "field" that will convert to the current date at the
time the document is printed (assuming the format supports such functionality).
When I search for "print date" I usually get answers about getting the
current time at render time (e.g. converting XSL-FO to PDF). Note that I'm
talking about print time (e.g. time the user sends the PDF to the printer).
Thanks,
Albert

Try text-align="center" instead of align="center"

Centering content with FO:LEADER
Posted by Prakash R <ra...@yahoo.com>.
Hi,
I need to center text in a fo:block. At the same time
I need fo:leader on either side of the text. How can I
align the text and at the same time have fo:leader on
either side of equal length? Also the text is small
enough that it won't wrap.
Here is what I have. But it doesn't render right.
<fo:block
align="center"><fo:leader/>TEXT<fo:leader/></fo:block>
Thank you.
Prakash

Interesting link. It didn't occur to me to try it like this. So yes,
you're right, this is about getting some JavaScript into PDF, something
FOP can't do, yet. Patches against FOP Trunk are welcome! :-)

Thanks for taking the time,
I thought there might be e.g. a PDF function FOP could put into the PDF
that Acrobat then later converts to the current time. Doing some more
searching I came across this article:
http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=6904
It seems there are ways - if convoluted ones - to make PDF put out the
print date. I guess I need to look into getting Javascript inside a PDF
document - through XSL-FO and FOP. Not what I was hoping for :-)

Yes, there is no such thing in XSL-FO. There's also nothing in PDF that
would allow to do this. After all, FOP doesn't send the PDF to the
printer. FOP doesn't know when you print your PDF using Acrobat Reader,
for example. The only thing you can do is put the current date into the
XSL-FO document at the XSLT stage using EXSLT date and time functions,
for example.
