Subject: Generating PDF: fop, passivetex and xfc (fo2rtf) reports
Hi all An old fop bug (spurious "duplicate id" error) is biting me. I generate a .fo file like this: $ xsltproc /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.62.4/fo/docbook.xsl templating-dtml.dbk > templating-dtml.fo fop chokes on page 21 out of 27 with the message: [ERROR] file:/.../templating-dtml.fo:726:554 The id "id2450246" already exists in this document That id occurs on this element: <fo:list-item-label id="id2450246" end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block>Q:</fo:block></fo:list-item-label> and it occurs once only. If I hack it out manually, fop is happy. I've posted the above here as well: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14962 If anyone has enlightenment or more info, feel free to follow up there. I also tried with passivetex (via xmlto) which worked once I bumped some settings: jean@blommie courses $ grep -A1 njj /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf %njj pool_size = 250000 pool_size = 500000 -- %njj save_size = 4000 % for saving values outside current group save_size = 16000 % for saving values outside current group Unfortunately the generated PDF doesn't cut it. The screenshots (about 600px wide) are wider than the page, and there are TeX artifacts ("- -4pc - -4pc", "0.60+1em") here and there. Apart from that, both have bad widowed/orphaned lines problems, but the output is usable if one isn't too fussy. I'm considering using http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/ to go from HTML->PDF. If anyone has configuration recipes or RTFMs they'd like to share for improved PDF (or any print format) generation from DocBook with open source tools, feel free .. Oooh, I've just given http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/downloadperso.shtml a try, and it's Not Bad! The output is on par with the above two, but it's tweakable in OpenOffice. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
