absolute positioning in an pdf

[Enrico Horn <ho...@inverso.de>]

Hi,
I am using FOP 0.20.3 and it works quite well for me.
But there is some issue that I would like some advice:

When FOP writes a line in PDF with spacing between
characters for instance in a table with 2 or more cells per rows
or words in general each word is positioned relative to the last one on
the same line.
What I would like to do is to make the start position of each word
absolute. Is there any way to do this?
Where would I have to start looking?

Thanks in advance
Enrico

I'm not sure what you problem is, but you can specify
absolute positions in XSLFO by specifying
absolute-position="absolute" and setting the
left/top/right/bottom properties. Look into the spec:
