[Alexandre Moraes]

HI,

       Does anyone know how to make this PI xep-afp-page-definition work?

Thanks,

Alexandre

Hi Alexandre,

You are digging in the wrong direction. This instruction is used for AFP producing only. The personal version of XEP formatter does not provide support of AFP backend.

If you are looking for a method to rotate a page with wide table into landscape one, I could propose you the following:

1. Assume that you have XEP file with something like that
<xep:document xmlns:xep="http://www.renderx.com/XEP/xep" producer="XEP 4.10 build 20070627">
<xep:page width="595276" height="841890" page-number="1" page-id="1">
<xep:gray-color gray="0.0"/>
<xep:polygon x-from="5669" y-from="56693">
<xep:point x-till="589607" y-till="56693"/>
<xep:point x-till="588607" y-till="57693"/>
<xep:point x-till="6669" y-till="57693"/>
</xep:polygon>
....
</xep:page>
</xep:document>

2. Shift the Y coordinate of coordinate system start to the value equals @width - @height.
   <xep:translate x="0" y="-246614"/>

3. Switch values of width and height attributes of xep:page.
   <xep:page width="841890" height="595276" ...

Thus we have:
<xep:document xmlns:xep="http://www.renderx.com/XEP/xep" producer="XEP 4.10 build 20070627">
<xep:page width="841890" height="595276" page-number="1" page-id="1">
<xep:gray-color gray="0.0"/>
<xep:translate x="0" y="-246614"/>
<xep:polygon x-from="5669" y-from="56693">
<xep:point x-till="589607" y-till="56693"/>
<xep:point x-till="588607" y-till="57693"/>
<xep:point x-till="6669" y-till="57693"/>
</xep:polygon>
....
</xep:page>
</xep:document>
As result we have the same page with landscape orientation. Please, keep in mind that some of the document flow may be occurred cut.

In zip archive you may find sample files (original fo and xep files, modified xep one and PDF made from both of them).

Respectfully,
Volodymyr Rodymyuk

I forgot about the trick of using block-container with changed orientation in order to fit the table into the page. I think you should take a look at Tony Graham's answer: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xsl-fo/2007Sep/0028.html
Also I recommend you to visit Dave Pawson's site (http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/). It is very helpful even not for a newbie.

I read those solutions and I´ll try to make what's currently columns into
rows, and vice-versa. The block-container didn´t work too. The problem is when the table didn´t fit a page and it needs to break. XEP didn´t break it.

Thanks,

Alexandre
