Hi.
Just made a new (my first) eDE install yesterday, and I have problems generating PDF. WinXP SP2. I've only run "docbook_create jesm", made some minor changes to the xml file (no tag changes, just in the plain text) and tried to run "docbook_pdf jesm". I get the following outpout below. I *do* get a PDF file, but there is no left-margin, the text is at the left edge of the "paper". To me it looks as a mixup between inch and mm. Note, all error messages are about "margin-left". Best Regards, Jan-Erik. PS: Nice tool b.t.w, I've been looking for something that "look and feels" as my old "DEC Document"... :-) C:\docbook\repository\jesm>docbook_pdf jesm eDE: creating jesm.pdf in c:\docbook\output\jesm\pdf\: eDE: validating jesm: eDE: jesm validated successfully eDE: using default book XSL stylesheet Making portrait pages on A4 paper (210mmx297mm) [INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser [INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser [INFO] FOP 0.20.5rc [INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser [INFO] building formatting object tree [INFO] setting up fonts [ERROR] Error in margin-left property value '0.75in - 0': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: Can't add Numerics of different dimensions [ERROR] Error in margin-left property value '1.25in - 0': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: Can't add Numerics of different dimensions [ERROR] Error in margin-left property value '1.25in - 0': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: Can't add Numerics of different dimensions [14-15 similar lines...] [ERROR] Error in margin-left property value '0': org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: No conversion defined [3 more similar lines...] [ERROR] region-name 'xsl-footnote-separator' doesn't exist in the layout-master-set.

Hi!
Have a look into the file: stylesheets/e-novative.xsl if there is a line: Code:
<xsl  aram name="title.margin.left">0</xslaram>change it to Code:
<xsl aram name="title.margin.left">0in</xslaram>This should (hopefully ;-)) fix the problem.. greetz tristran |

Many thanks !
That solved the dimension and conversion problems. The PDF contents is now centred with margins on the pages. Now I get a few other errors (of course :-) ). I can take the message about no swedish hyphenation lib, that's no big deal, but the "footnote" one !? Is that seriouse ? I have absolutly no idea where to start searching... Jan-Erik. [ERROR] region-name 'xsl-footnote-separator' doesn't exist in the layout-master-set. [3 of them...] ... ... [ERROR] Couldn't find hyphenation pattern sv [ERROR] Error building hyphenation tree for language sv |

B.t.w, I put the "<xslaram name="title.margin.left">0in</xslaram>" line into custom.xsl, which seems to have works just fine, right ?
Jan-Erik. |

Putting it into custom.xsl overrides the option in e-novative.xsl, so it has the same effect 
concerning the hyphenation: it seems like there are no patterns for swedish included but have a look at: http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html maybe you can create them on your own? footnote-error: i work with eDE for half a year now and i couldn't solve the problem - in fact i didn't try very hard to do so, because it doesn't seem to have a negative effect, so i live with it

Fine.
I'll check the hyph thing. Does the footnote error mean that you can't use footnotes ? Anyway, I'll try with a bit larger text and see how it works out. It's currently an evaluation. I've used markup based tools before (DEC Document), then switched to Word, but now I'm looking for a markup based tool again... :-) Jan-Erik. PS: I guess the margin-left error is an bug, right ? Does e-novative monitor this forum so they can fix that ? |

Well, i've never tried to make footnotes.. sorry
If you try it, let me know if it works
e-novative should know this bug! (it has been mentioned in the old forum, too) - maybe they fix it in the next release.. (like the few other *little* bugs which are contained )

Yes, we do monitor this forum. Thanks for your input. We _try_ to fix all bugs, especially those mentioned in the old forums. If the old forums had not been unexpectedly hacked, we'd have a very recent backup of the forum with its posts, but as you can imagine, data is always lost when your last good backup is a couple of days or weeks old. Sorry about that.
We'll fix this bug and come up with a new release by the end of this week. Promise. |

| Upgrade to FOP 0.20.5 will help with the 'xsl-footnote-separator' errors, just exchange the contents of the fop subdirectory with new version | |

This has been a quiet forum for a while...
I've recently had the same left margin error in my PDF renderings of ede docbook article types. Code:
[ERROR] Error in margin-left property... I updated: Code:
<xslaram name="title.margin.left">0</xslaram> to read instead as: Code:
<xslaram name="title.margin.left">0in</xslaram> What I got was an interesting 2 column PDF. Each sect code has it's own 'bookmark' in the PDF but the structure is off. Text no longer runs off the page in the left margin. That's good. This is the first time I've gotten a decent PDF since following the above suggestions. How shall I go about fixing the column display? Anyone else run into this? |

I found the answer in the FAQ section at e-novate.info
Quote:
- Edit the file custom_article_fo.xsl in c:\docbook\stylesheets and add an entry <xsl:param name="column.count.body">1</xsl:param>. Problem solved! Now I have a pretty PDF to go with my pretty HTML. Creating multiple docs with ede docbook is really nice. |
