Yes, that's the reason i was searching for some already existing...

RE: creating SVG from MathML

The rendering of MathML should have been based on SVG. W3C seems to have a
hard time coordinating its standards development.

You don't say which FOP version you are using.

Allow commenting in Adobe reader

Platform: Ubuntu 5.10, FOP 0.91beta, Adobe reader 7.0

I'm using xsltproc and FOP to create PDF from DocBook XML.

I would like the PDF to be commentable in Adobe reader, ie. allow
Adobe reader users to add highlights and notes to the PDF document.

Is there any way to do this with FOP?  Some hidden option or setting I
could use?

Using FOP out of the box the comment tools don't seem to be available,
at least...?

Thanx!

Re: Allow commenting in Adobe reader

As far as I know Acrobat Reader does not allow highlighting and adding
notes. You need at least Acrobat Standard for that:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html

By default, FOP does not prohibit annotation for the PDF it creates.
Only if you encrypt the PDF and set the right switches will this
functionality be disabled.

Re: Underlining using FOP

(Answering to fop-users <at> xmlgraphics.apache.org which is the right place
to send questions like this to. Please continue this thread there)

I've tried to reproduce this in FOP 0.20.5 and 0.91beta (you didn't tell
us the version you use), but I don't see the effect you describe in
either version. Are you using a non-standard font? Are there any
inherited properties set on parent elements which are propagated into
this fo:block? It would be good if you could provide a short FO-File
(not a stylesheet) that shows the problem, maybe accompanied with a
screen shot and the note which viewer you use to display the PDF. If you
print the PDF do you get gaps, too?

Using Central European characters

We need to include CE characters in PDF output generated by FOP, but are faced 
with the problem that:
- when using Base-14 fonts, Acrobat Reader does not display CE characters (we 
tried to put them using utf-8, windows-1250 and iso-8859-2 encoding, none of 
them worked)
- when embedding the font in the FOP, characters are displayed correctly, but 
copy/paste from the PDF does not work (at all).

As a news agency, we have strong need that generated PDF is both displayed 
correctly and that users are able to copy the content to another application.

Does the current state of FOP allows that (either 0.20 or 0.91) ?

I know that it is still an open issue in general, but is there some 
workarround ?

No.

If the text in the inline is meant to represent a line then you should 
use a block as a container for the text.

> How is this possible - if it is?

If you use fo:block instead of fo:inline then you can align each block 
differently.
