Possible to avoid page breaks between table rows with keep-together?
Hello FOP-Users,
I need some help with using keep-together correctly. I am using the
latest 0.95 release.
I have attached a sample purchase order document which has a number of
order lines with different kinds of additional information. The
requirement is: One order line should be kept together on one page
including all additional information. If the order line does not fit on
the same page it is supposed to trigger a page break.
I have tried to set keep-together accordingly but if you look at the
output of the sample xml you'll find that there still is a page break
within the same order line
Can you point me in the right direction how it is possible to achieve
the intended behaviour?
Regards,
Alexander

Posted by Jeremias Maerki <de...@jeremias-maerki.ch>.
Oh yeah, that's the one catch that is often found with OTF fonts: our
lack of support for the Compact Font Format (CFF). Probably not too
difficult to implement but so far nobody had enough of an itch to
do it. I guess that leaves you with two options:
1. Implement support for CFF in FOP.
2. Try to convert the font into a TrueType font with TrueType glyph data
instead of CFF glyph data. The first stop here is probably http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/
Sorry for not remembering that possibility earlier.

Sorry for the thread mix-up earlier.... I wasn't watching where I was
clicking.
The original custom fonts had an extension of .otf I have used the
same file names with both the .otf and .ttf extensions with the same
result.
Can anyone suggest a way to get around the CFF issue below?

Thanks.
If the font is well done, it should be working in FOP without change.
You can treat it like a TrueType font. If it doesn't, please let us know

I am using fop-0.95 on RedHat Linux running Linux applications (100%).
My problem is that one division insists on using a custom font in the
.OTF format that was created by a typographical company and therefore
requires licensing. This is not a problem.
What does the font vendor have to do to make the font work in the Linux
environmen using FOP (legally, of course) ? Is it as simple as
converting the font to a .TTF?
I need a description of what would have to be done to send directly to
them.

RE: Possible to avoid page breaks between table rows with keep-together?
Posted by "Griffin,Sean" <SG...@CERNER.COM>.
Alexander,
It's hard to tell, but I'm assuming that the row that contains the text "There should not be a page break now" is supposed to stay on the same page as the rows containing the texts "With this line" and "And this line"? If so, you could accomplish this a couple of different ways. You could either use keep-with-next.within-page="always" or (keep-with-previous) on the rows that you want to keep together, or you could wrap all related rows inside a nested table with keep-together.within-page="always" on that table.
Realize that you're currently specifying keep-together.within-page on the individual rows, and as you can see, those rows are keeping together and not allowing a page break in the middle. If you want a series of rows to keep-together than you have to wrap those rows inside a parent block where keep-together is specified on that block. Or...use keep-with-next/previous.
The approach that works the best will likely be determined by the algorithm you use to create this FO.

Thanks for the help, got it all working now by using keep-with-previous=always on the affected rows.

So you want to keep multiple table-rows together. You can do that by
using keep-with-next.within-page="always" if you have already specified
keep-together on the row. Essentially, with the keep-together on the
rows you make sure they can't be split and with the keep-with next, you
can glue individual table-rows together. HTH
