.Net Aspose.Pdf not drawing XSL-FO table elements properly

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

The following XSL-FO section is not being rendered properly by Aspose.Pdf PdfGenerator.BindFO(xmlStream, xsltStream)


It is rendering the content but it isn’t rendering the table borders and thus the content is not being held in inside the table bounds.

How can I make the table render with borders and format the content properly?

This is the resulting xml from the xslt:

<fo:table width=“100%” table-layout=“fixed”>
<fo:table-column column-width=“3in” />
<fo:table-column column-width=“4in” />
<fo:table-cell border-width=“1px” border-style=“solid” padding-right=“2px” padding-left=“2px”>
<fo:block text-align=“right” font-weight=“bold”>Site:</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-width=“1px” border-style=“solid” padding-right=“2px” padding-left=“2px”>
<fo:block id=“59327”>CEC #1</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-width=“1px” border-style=“solid” padding-right=“2px” padding-left=“2px”>

Hi Dyami,


Thanks for contacting support.

I have tried replicating the issue where I have used the attached XSL-FO file (based on contents which you have shared above) and as per my observations, the resultant file being generated is blank.

Can you please share the complete resource files and code snippet which you are using so that we can again try replicating this problem at our end. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

[C#]

//Create
pdf document<o:p></o:p>

Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf pdf = new Aspose.Pdf.Generator.Pdf();

// Bind FO document with Pdf object

pdf.BindFO(@"c:/pdftest/sample.fo");

// save the PDF document

pdf.Save(@"c:/pdftest/sampleFOFile.pdf");

The original piece of XSL-FO was a snippet to give an example of what would be the resulting fo file and was not intended to be used directly.


I’m currently using BindFo, attached is the xslt, the xml, and the resulting file from Aspose.Pdf. You will note that none of the tables are rendering with borders and that the cell contents are sometimes not being rendered where they should be.

The example attached is a more complete example of the missing table borders.

Hi Tilal,


Is there an ETA on when this bug will be addressed and if I will be given an updated version of the dll? Currently this bug is blocking a critical feature in my product.

Hi Tilal,


Has this issue been fixed in the 9.4 version of Aspose.PDF.dll?

Sincerely,

It appears that newer version does not fix the issue. An ETA is really important at this point. This issue has a very large impact on several of my clients and will determine whether or not we will sink the time to generate the PDFs through a different method.
