DOCBOOK-APPS: FOP and SVG?
Hi, I'm a new DocBook user. I'm in the process of evaluating DocBook XML and Saxon/FOP for possible use at my company. So far I'm very happy with both DocBook and Saxon/FOP. However, I can't get FOP to handle SVG images however hard I try. This really bothers me since I really want us to be able to use SVG for PDF output. I'm using the following versions of software on a Solaris 8 machine with JDK 1.3.1: * DocBook XML 4.2 * DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.57.0 * Saxon 6.5.2 * FOP 0.20.4 I have attached a simple DocBook document (book.xml) who references a simple SVG image (image.svg). Saxon successfully creates a .fo file, whose SVG image reference looks ok in my eyes (see code snippet below). FOP then creates a .pdf file from this .fo file but the SVG image doesn't show up. I used the following command lines: > java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -x org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -y org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader -r org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver -u -o book.fo book.xml ~steby/xml/docbook-xsl/fo/docbook.xsl > java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -fo book.fo -pdf book.pdf SVG image reference in generated .fo file: <fo:external-graphic src="url(image.svg)" width="auto" height="auto" content-width="auto" content-height="auto"/> I would be extremely grateful if anybody could shed some light on this matter. As it is now, I can't get any further with the evaluation; SVG support is a show stopper. Regards, Stefan Bylund
