[xep-support] RE: XSLFO and overprinting

Friedrich:

 

Before I can respond, our development team would need to evaluate how
difficult it is to do -- the first step in our requirements analysis. once
they provide me with estimates to accomplish a specific task, I can schedule
that into the development sequence. and of course, RenderX also balances
this with customer need and even paid-for extension development.

 

Let me get estimates based on your requirement specification and I will get
back to you.

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?

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
