Re: [oXygen-user] Unexpected errors in PDF formatting

27 Dec 2011

      Hi,

The error is caused by the hyphen with the Unicode code 00AD which comes *at the end of the following fragment* from your document:

"Piazza Verdi – ma anche le altre piazze, i giardini, le palestre pubbliche, i campi sportivi -"

In Oxygen you can see the Unicode code of the character at cursor position on the status bar as U+00AD. The FOP processor has a bug and cannot layout this character in the PDF output. You will get the same FOP error when transforming the following simple document with the default scenario Docbook PDF (no customization of the XSL stylesheet):

<article>
   <sect1>
     <title>Title</title>
     <para>-</para>
   </sect1>
</article>

where the content of the para element is the 00AD hyphen. Please replace it with a regular hyphen (code 002D) in your Docbook XML document for avoiding the FOP bug.

Best regards,
Sorin

Hello,
What Oxygen version do you use? I did not get the hyphenation error
    with Oxygen version 13.1 and a Docbook XML document containing some
    paragraphs with the xml:lang="it" attribute. Can you send a sample
    file for reproducing the hyphenation error?
The other two errors seem to come from your Docbook customization
    called docbook_custom_quaderni.xsl. Did you override the Docbook XSL
    attribute called *start-indent* in docbook_custom_quaderni.xsl? Can
    you send this customization file for reproducing the errors?
Best regards,
    Sorin

        Here is the result. I think there is something in the xml file
        that doesn't work properly ..... It was pasted using the smart
        option from a word file directly to the author editor.
