Layout customization

Hi,
I'm currently working on changing the PDF rendering of the Daisy docs. I'm having a hard time finding documentation on what elements and attributes I have available to display. Is there any place where I can find this information? Also, one thing I'm attempting to do right now which I really have no clue on how to do is to add an image at the top of the PDF. Could someone give me pointers or details on how to do that?

PDF formating is basically done in 2 steps. The document xml is first converted into XSL-FO, which will be later on rendered by Apache-FOP into a PDF file. You can check the w3c.org website for details on the XSL-FO syntax: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#fo-section > Also, one thing I'm attempting to do right now which I really have no clue on how to > do is to add an image at the top of the PDF. Well, adding the company logo was the 1st thing I had to do as well. I wasn't that experienced with XSL-FO at that time. So, it was rather painful for me as well. Anyway, here is, what I've done: Basically, you need to modify the xslt/documentlayout-xslfo.xsl. (1) Add a page header. So, the logo will be displayed on every page: (1a) within the <fo:simple-page-master> node add the following lines: <xsl:template match="page"> <fo:root> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master ... <fo:region-body region-name="body" + margin-top="2.8cm" margin-bottom="2.5cm"/> + <fo:region-before + region-name="top" + extent="1.8cm"/> <fo:region-after region-name="bottom" extent="1.5cm"/> </fo:simple-page-master> (1b) a few lines down within <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simplepage">: </fo:static-content> + <fo:static-content flow-name="top"> + <xsl:call-template name="header"/> + </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="bottom"> <xsl:call-template name="footer"/> </fo:static-content> (2) create a template for the header: That could be something like that: + <xsl:template name="header"> + <fo:block font-size="11pt" + font-family="{$fontSerif}" + padding-top="3pt" + border-bottom-style="solid" + border-bottom-width=".1mm"> + <fo:block text-align="center"> + <fo:external-graphic + src="url('daisyskin:images/logo.gif')" + height="1cm" + content-height="1cm" + scaling="uniform"/> + </fo:block> + </fo:block> + </xsl:template> As you can see, an image can be included using <fo:external-graphic>.

I spent quite some time working through the issues related to PDF output to get custom logos, headers, footers, etc. In case it's helpful to anyone else, what I finally settled on that works best for us is to use full-page SVG graphics for the logo, page boundaries, headers, and footers. Think of it as a page border that encompasses all of those elements. On the title page, it includes a large graphic that includes our logo and takes up roughly half the page. On most body pages, it's more like a border. The changeable elements, such as document name, page #, etc., are written over the top of the SVG graphic (the graphic includes a black area in the footer, and I use white text). To accomplish this, I use the <fo:block-container> element. Here is an example of my modified title page: <fo:page-sequence master-reference="frontpage"> <fo:flow flow-name="body"> <fo:block-container font-family="GroteskLC" height="11in" width="8.5in" absolute-position="absolute" top="-1in" left="-1in" right="-1in" bottom="-1in" background-image="publicationtype:resources/cover_template_fusion.svg" background-repeat="no-repeat"> <fo:block margin-left="11.5cm" font-size="30pt" font-weight="bold" text-align="left" padding-before="19cm"> <xsl:value-of select="/html/metadata/entry[@key='title']"/> </fo:block> <fo:block margin-left="11.5cm" font-size="24pt" text-align="left" padding-before=".4cm"> <xsl:value-of select="/html/metadata/entry[@key='subtitle']"/> </fo:block> <fo:block margin-left="11.5cm" font-size="16pt" text-align="left" padding-before=".4cm"> <xsl:value-of select="/html/properties/entry[@key='publishDate']"/> </fo:block> </fo:block-container> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> I had to make a number of other adjustments to get this to work, such as turning off the headers in the original stylesheets (to be replaced by the upper part of the SVG graphic). If any of you would like to see example PDFs and complete stylesheets, email me off-list. You can get a much more sophisticated looking document using this method. I used it to mirror a design that had been created by our designers originally using InDesign. Regards, Robert Etienne Lacombe wrote: Thanks Matthias - that helped me a lot.
