[xep-support] AW: XSLFO and overprinting

[Kirch Fritz]

Kevin:

 

Thanks a lot for your fast answer.

How can I increase the priority for my rx:overprinting extension?

I plan to create tens of thousands of high quality phone book advertisements (in PDF format) with renderx solution till end of this year.

I plan to spread this solution to many other european publishing houses.

Most of these ads have colored backgrounds.

With other words: Overprinting is a very important feature in my media world.

 

Why loosing the chance to conquer the european phone book advertising market this year?

 

Can you promise me the rx:overprint extension till end of this year?

 

Fritz

Friedrich:

 

We can add that to the future requirements list. I am currently working on the list for the next version but I can say I'm pretty sure this will not make it. Currently I would like to target enhancements to the PDF Forms capabilities to support adding Javascript (for data validation and other actions) as well as expanding PDF capabilities to include embedding other forms of multi-media like Flash, MPEG, AVI, MP3. I have also requested an ability to add attachments to the PDF (like attaching an Excel spreadsheet).

Hi Kevin,

 

If you print on coloured backgrounds, normally the background-color is not printed on the areas directly underneath the text-characters.

        

This guarantees the foreground and background colours not to be mixed.

 

But in case, when a printing studio is not able to print the foreground colour exactly on the intended places, there are small gaps between the background-colour and the foreground-character, where you can see the paper shining through.

 

That's why my printing department wants me to force black text (and only black text) to overprint background colours.

 

How can I do this with XSLFO and RenderX?

 

As far as I know, there is no overprint-attribute in XSLFO-spec.

But as far as I know, there is a overprint attribute in the PDF-spec.

 

What do you think about a RenderX extension?

 

Kind regards
