axf:document-info as a child of fo:page-sequence is effective only for PDF output in multi separate volume. axf:document-info as a child of fo:page-sequence overwrites axf:document-info as a child of fo:root and is utilized for an information of the document when outputting in separate volume. Therefore the same document information is embedded in all the separate volumes unless axf:document-info is specified to fo:page-sequence.

"openaction" and "pagemode" cannot be specified for the multi separate volume. Only the specification of the right under of fo:root is effective. When the separate volume is output, it is specified for the first separate volume.

With AH Formatter V5.0 Lite, axf:document-info specified to fo:page-sequence is ignored.


PDF Output in Multi Separate Volume

AH Formatter V5.0 makes it possible to out put PDF in Multi Separate Volume. These functions are not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

<axf:output-volume-info>

Common Usage:

Makes it possible to output PDF in separate volume per fo:page-sequence when outptting the formatted result.

Areas:

None.

Constraints:
<!ELEMENT axf:output-volume-info EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST axf:output-volume-info

Effective only when outputting to files. It’s not available for printing or stream output. At that time the file name should be given by GUI, command line parameter or etc. The file names of separate volumes are given automatically based on the output file names. This process is done by inputting the strings formatted by the format property right before the file extension of the output file name. In the above example, when document.pdf is given to the file name, PAGE-SEQUENCE-1 and PAGE-SEQUENCE-2 are outputted to document-2.pdf, PAGE-SEQUENCE-3 is outputted to document-3.pdf.

The numeric value applied to the format property can be given by the axf:initial-volume-number property as the initial value. The format property is the same as "7.26.1. format" in the XSL-FO specification.

The volume is separated by the axf:output-volume-break property specified to fo:page-sequence. If the axf:output-volume-filename property is specified, only the separated volumes can be outputted with the specified file name.

The book mark of PDF in multi separate volume can be set by the axf:bookmark-include from the following options.

  • Adds a bookmark to the first separate volume only.
  • Adds bookmarks to all the separate volumes.
  • Adds each bookmark to each separate volume.

The following conditions are required for the actual separate volume.

  • The <axf:output-volume-info> element should be included in FO.
  • The following items are set in each interface.
    GUIMulti Volume should be checked in the PDF Output Dialog.

This value is applied for the format property and utilized for the PDF file name to output. In the following example, the file name of the separate volume is document-2.pdf, document-3.pdf, document-4.pdf,...

<axf:output-volume-info
  initial-volume-number="2"
  format="-1"
/>

This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

axf:output-volume-break

Separates the file in multi volume. no-LT

Value: true | false
Initial: false
Applies to: fo:page-sequence
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Values have the following meanings.

true

Separates the volume newly from this fo:page-sequence.

false

Do not separates the volume newly from this fo:page-sequence.

Specifies axf:output-volume-break="true" to fo:page-sequence where you want to start separating the volume. The document number increases one by one. When separating the volume, axf:output-volume-break="true" is regarded as always being specified to the first fo:page-sequence. If axf:output-volume-break="false" is specified explicitly, it is ignored.

This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

axf:output-volume-filename

Specifies the document file name in multi separate volume. no-LT

Value: <string>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: fo:page-sequence
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

If nothing specified, the automatic file name using the format property is adopted. If this property is specified, the specified name is adopted. This property is effective only with the top fo:page-sequence or with the fo:page-sequence where axf:output-volume-break="true" is specified.

In the following example, suppose that if document.pdf is specified as the file name of the PDF output, the separated file names will be document-2.pdf, chapterX.pdf, document-4.pdf,...

<axf:output-volume-info
  initial-volume-number="2"
  format="-1"
/>

<fo:page-sequence>
  ...
</fo:page-sequence>
<fo:page-sequence axf:output-volume-break="true" axf:output-volume-filename="ChapterX.pdf">
  ...
</fo:page-sequence>
<fo:page-sequence axf:output-volume-break="true">
  ...
</fo:page-sequence>

The original PDF file name cannot be omitted even though axf:output-volume-filename is specified to all the fo:page-sequence. This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.


Extension for European Rule

Bookmark and Link in PDF Output

This section describes how to create bookmark and link within the PDF file.

Making Bookmark

A PDF document has a function called bookmarks. Bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat or Reader consist of a tree-structured hierarchy which serve as a "visual table of contents," allowing the user to navigate to the target place by clicking on items.

CAUTION: A similar function is equipped in XSL1.1. Please make use of fo:bookmark. However, please use axf:outline-* instead of fo:bookmark when you out put PDF in Multi Separate Volume.

PDF bookmark

AH Formatter V5.0 generates bookmarks automatically by adding the extended properties to the objects to have bookmarks.

The following sample illustrates how to create the bookmark of the above picture.

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
         xmlns:axf="http://www.antennahouse.com/names/XSL/Extensions">
...
<fo:block axf:outline-level="1"
          axf:outline-expand="false"
          axf:outline-title="Colophon">
  ...
</fo:block>
<fo:block axf:outline-level="1"
          axf:outline-expand="false"
          axf:outline-title="Table of Contents">
  ...
</fo:block>
<fo:block axf:outline-level="1"
          axf:outline-expand="true"
          axf:outline-title="1. Introduction and Overview">
  <fo:block axf:outline-level="2"
            axf:outline-expand="true"
            axf:outline-title="1.1. Processing a Stylesheet">
    <fo:block axf:outline-level="3"
              axf:outline-expand="false"
              axf:outline-title="1.1.1. Tree Transformations">
      ...
    </fo:block>
    <fo:block axf:outline-level="3"
              axf:outline-expand="false"
              axf:outline-title="1.1.2. Formatting">
      ...
    </fo:block>
  </fo:block>
  <fo:block axf:outline-level="2"
            axf:outline-expand="false"
            axf:outline-title="1.2. Benefits of XSL">
    ...
  </fo:block>
</fo:block>
<fo:block axf:outline-level="1"
          axf:outline-expand="false"
          axf:outline-title="2. XSL Transformation">
  ...
</fo:block>
...

axf:outline-expand

The axf:outline-expand specifies whether to display the lower hierarchy of bookmark items or not.

Value: true | false
Initial: true
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

True specifies to display the lower hierarchy in the expanded state. False specifies to display in the collapsed state.

axf:outline-group

The axf:outline-group groups bookmark items, and outputs them collectively.

Value: <string>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

If this property is omitted or specifies empty string, bookmark items are not grouped. If this specifies any string, the string is used as the name of group. The group with the same name is outputted collectively. The non-grouped bookmark is outputted as the group without the group name.

axf:outline-level

The axf:outline-level indicates the hierarchy level of bookmark items.

Value: <number>
Initial: 0
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

The <number> must be a non-negative integer. Initial value is zero and it means that bookmarks should not be created. The highest level of bookmarks is 1 and it becomes 2 or more according to the hierarchy level of the bookmarks.

axf:outline-title

The axf:outline-title specifies the string which appears as a title of bookmarks.

Value: <string>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

If this property is omitted or has an empty string, the text of the object to which the property is added will become the title. In other words, the following two samples create the same bookmark.

<fo:block axf:outline-level="2" axf:outline-title="1. Introduction">...
<fo:block axf:outline-level="2">1. Introduction</fo:block>

axf:outline-color

The axf:outline-color specifies the color which appears as a title of bookmarks. no-LT

Value: <color>
Initial: the value of the 'color' property
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

This property is effective with PDF 1.4 or later. This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

axf:outline-font-style

The axf:outline-font-style specifies the font style which appears as a title of bookmarks. no-LT

Value: normal | italic
Initial: normal
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Values have the following meanings.

normal

Specifies normal style.

italic

Specifies italic.

This property is effective with PDF 1.4 or later. This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

axf:outline-font-weight

The axf:outline-font-weight specifies the font weight which appears as a title of bookmarks. no-LT

Value: normal | bold
Initial: normal
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Values have the following meanings.

normal

Specifies normal weight.

bold

Specifies bold weight.

This property is effective with PDF 1.4 or later. This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

Remarks

  • These three object properties have to be created in block areas or inline areas. (fo:block, fo:inline ...) If you specify them in an fo:wrapper, for example, they are not effective.
  • When the language is not supported in Acrobat and the font that belongs to the unsupported language is specified for the bookmark, there may be a possibility of the font displaying incorrectly in Adobe Acrobat or Reader.

Making Link

PDF links can be created easily by using fo:basic-link.

PDF links are classified either as an internal link to a specified position in the PDF document, or as a external link to an external document. The internal-destination property of fo:basic-link indicates a link to a position in the same document. The external-destination property indicates a link to an external document. Below are the examples of both.

The external link specified by the relative address is transformed into either 'Open the file' or 'World Wide Web link' by the use-launch-for-relative-uri property in PDF Output Setting. The external link specified by the absolute address is always transformed into 'World Wide Web link'.

Furthermore, it's possible to specify professional links as follows. For further understanding see also "PDF Reference" by Adobe Systems Incorporated. The professional links are not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

  • Specifies the following actions for the external link explicitly.
    • Moves the destination inside PDF (GoToR)
    • Opens the file (Launch)
    • World Wide Web link (URI)
  • Possible to specify ID for the external link in PDF as well as the internal link.
  • Possible to specify the page number for the expternal link in PDF.
  • Possible to specify the page number for the internal link.
  • Possible to specify the type of destination for the external link.
  • Possible to specify the external link in the bookmark.
  • Possible to specify the internal link in the bookmark.

The setting of external-destination for the external link in PDF conforms to the following specification of PDF parameters. Not all the parameters are effective with AH Formatter V5.0. The invalid parameters are ignored.

This specification provides the following examples.

  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=3
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=3&zoom=200,250,100
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#zoom=50
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=72&view=fitH,100
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#view=fitb&nameddest=Chapter3
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#pagemode=none
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#pagemode=bookmarks&page=2
  • http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=3&pagemode=thumbs

Only the following parameters are effective with AH Formatter V5.0. The case sensitivity is ignored.

  • nameddest
  • page
  • zoom
  • view
  • viewrect

For example, it's invalid to specify fitH, fitR and fitBH for the external link. These are effective only with the internal link. If the required values for the PDF parameters are omitted in fitH, etc., the values are accounted as 0.

With the external link for PDF, it's possible to specify whether to open a new window by the show-destination property. A link destination except PDF is invalid. If show-destination="new" is specified, a new window will be opened and PDF will be displayed on the window. If show-destination="replace" is specified, a new window will not be opened but PDF will be displayed in the current window. When nothing specified, it depends on the operation of the PDF viewer application. Although it is defined as "replace" in the XSL-FO specification when the property is omitted, AH Formatter V5.0 complies with the specification a little differently. show-destination property is invalid under the following conditions.

  • Other than the case that axf:action-type is specified as "gotor" or as "launch" when the link destination is PDF.
  • In the internal link. There may be a case that an internal link is embedded as an external link when separating the volume. show-destination specified to the internal link is effective only in that case.

AH Formatter V5.0 provides the following extension properties for the professional link.

axf:action-type

Specifies the action of external link or form action.

Value: gotor | launch | uri | reset | submit | auto
Initial: auto
Applies to: fo:basic-link, axf:form-field
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Values have the following meanings.

gotor

Opens the link destination by the "GoToR" action as PDF. The URI of the destination is regarded as PDF.

launch

Opens the link destination by the "Launch" action as the file.

uri

Opens the link destination by the "URI" action as URI (World Wide Web).

reset no-LT

Resets a form filed as a form action and can be specified to axf:form-field.

submit no-LT

Submits a form filed as a form action and can be specified to axf:form-field.

auto

Dependent on the system setting.

When the link destination is not a local file, such as http:, the action type is "URI" at any time. When axf:action-type="auto" specified, the external link specified by the relative address is transformed into either 'Open the file' or 'World Wide Web link' by the use-launch-for-relative-uri property in PDF Output Setting. The external link specified by the absolute address is always transformed into 'World Wide Web link'.

axf:destination-type

Specifies the type of destination for the external link. These are the types of destination for PDF as the external link. no-LT

Value: <string>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: block level formatting object
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

The destination type has the following options. If nothing specified, it's accounted as axf:destination-type="xyz-top". The case sensitivity is ignored.

Destination Type of PDFHow to specify axf:destination-type
[page /XYZ left top zoom] AH Formatter V5.0 calculates the value of left/top. However it's possible to specify null or non-null explicitly. The user can specify the arbitrary value for zoom.
axf:destination-type="xyz" Specifies left and top as null.
axf:destination-type="xyz-left" Specifies top as null.
axf:destination-type="xyz-top" Specifies left as null.
axf:destination-type="xyz-left-top"
If nothing is specified t zoom, it's accounted as null. Specifies % value to zoom as follows.
axf:destination-type="xyz-top 75"
If only the numbers are specified, the value is accounted for xyz-top.
axf:destination-type="75"
[page /Fit]
axf:destination-type="fit"
[page /FitH top] AH Formatter V5.0 calculates the value of top. Effective only to specify in the internal link.
axf:destination-type="fith"
[page /FitV left] AH Formatter V5.0 calculates the value of left.
axf:destination-type="fitv"
[page /FitR left bottom right top] AH Formatter V5.0 calculates the value of left/bottom/right/top. Effective only to specify in the internal link.
axf:destination-type="fitr"
[page /FitB]
axf:destination-type="fitb"
[page /FitBH top] AH Formatter V5.0 calculates the value of top. Effective only to specify in the internal link.
axf:destination-type="fitbh"
[page /FitBV left] AH Formatter V5.0 calculates the value of left.
axf:destination-type="fitbv"

This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

axf:outline-external-destination

Sets the external link in the PDF bookmark. no-LT

Value: <uri-specification>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Values have the following meanings.

<uri-specification>

Specifies the URI of the link destination.

This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

axf:outline-internal-destination

Sets the internal link in the PDF bookmark. no-LT

Value: empty string | <idref> | <number-with-fragment>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: block-level formatting objects
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Values have the following meanings.

<idref>

Specifies the ID of the link destination.

<number-with-fragment>

Specifies the page number of the link destination. This string is simpe numeric characters or the following string that combines numeric characters and a fragment with #. Refer to Making Link for the fragment.

123#zoom=50

The page number also can be specified in the fragment.

#page=123&zoom=50

When the page number is not specified, it is usually regarded as the 1st page. However, when the top position is specified, it is regarded as the head of the page of a block where axf:outline-internal-destination is contained. For example, it is specified as follows.

#view=fit
#view=fith
#zoom=,,0

This property is not available with AH Formatter V5.0 Lite.

ID in the External Link

When specifying the ID in the external link, the type of the destination should be given to the ID of the link destination. Nameddest is only effective as the parameter in the URI. The type of the destination can be specified to the link destination.

  • Link origin:
    <fo:basic-link external-destination="http://mydocs/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6"
                   axf:action-type="gotor">
    
  • Link destination:
    <fo:block id="Chapter6" axf:destination-type="xxxx">
    

ID in the Internal Link

When specifying the ID in the internal link, the type of the destination should be given to the ID of the link destination as well as the external link.

  • Link origin:
    <fo:basic-link internal-destination="Chapter6">
    
  • Link destination:
    <fo:block id="Chapter6" axf:destination-type="xxxx">
    

Page Number in the External Link

The page number can be accounted by the page parameter in the URI. If both page and nameddest are specified, nameddest takes priority. When specifying the page number, the destination information cannot be set to the link destination. Therefore the type of the destination is given by reading the parameter in the URI. The unreadable parameter is discarded.

<fo:basic-link external-destination="http://mydocs/doc.pdf#page=72&amp;view=fitH,100"
               axf:action-type="gotor">

When neither page nor nameddest are included in the parameter of the URI, it's accounted as page=1. The page number is accounted as physical in PDF.

Page Number in the Internal Link

Adds extension in order to specify the page number to the value of internal-destination.

<fo:basic-link internal-destination="72">

The type of the destination can be specified by adding the parameter of the external link URI.

<fo:basic-link internal-destination="72#view=fitH,100">

The page number is accounted as physical in PDF. If only the page number is specified, the type of the destination is accounted as view=fit.

Bookmark with the External Link

Specify the axf:outline-external-destination property as follows in order to specify the external link to the bookmark.

<fo:block axf:outline-level="1"
          axf:outline-title="Chapter 6"
          axf:outline-external-destination="http://mydocs/doc.pdf#nameddest=Chapter6"
          axf:action-type="gotor"
          show-destination="new">

At that time, this bookmark becomes independent of the block such as fo:block, etc., which the bookmark belongs to.

Bookmark with the Internal Link

Specify the axf:outline-internal-destination property as follows in order to specify the internal link to the bookmark.

<fo:block axf:outline-level="1"
          axf:outline-title="Chapter 6"
          axf:outline-internal-destination="Chapter6">

At that time, this bookmark becomes independent of the block such as fo:block, etc., which the bookmark belongs to.

Remarks

  • Specify either internal-destination or external-destination.
  • There may be a case that an internal link is accounted as an external link when separating the volume. At that time, the action type of the link is accounted as axf:action-type="gotor".

    Submit:
    <axf:form-field
      field-type="button"
      field-name="SubmitButton"
      action-type="submit"
      field-button-layout="caption"
      field-button-face="Submit!"
      width="5em"

When the following XSL Standard is specified,

<fo:block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
 Label
 <fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/>
 Pages
</fo:block>

only the simple 1. and 5. can get the expected results. And 3. can be performed by the following specification.

<fo:block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
 Label
 <fo:leader leader-length.minimum="0pt" leader-pattern="dots"/><fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/>
 Pages
</fo:block>

Next, by using axf:text-align-first as follows,

<fo:block text-align="justify" text-align-last="right" axf:text-align-first="justify">
 Label
 <fo:leader leader-length.minimum="0pt" leader-pattern="dots"/><fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/>
 Pages
</fo:block>

all cases excluding 3. and 5. gets the result as expected. Furthermore, by using axf:leader-expansion as follows,

<fo:block text-align="justify" text-align-last="right" axf:text-align-first="justify"
          axf:leader-expansion="force">
 Label
 <fo:leader leader-length.minimum="0pt" leader-pattern="dots"/><fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/>

axf:page-number-prefix

The axf:page-number-prefix sets the prefix of page number.

CAUTION: A similar function is equipped in XSL1.1. Please make use of fo:folio-prefix.
Value: <string>
Initial: empty string
Applies to: fo:page-sequence
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

Specifies the prefix for page numbers. Specified string will be outputted before the page number by fo:page-number and fo:page-number-citation. Also this string will be used as the page label in the PDF.

<fo:page-sequence axf:page-number-prefix="A-" format="i" initial-page-number="10">
  <fo:static-content ...>
   ...<fo:page-number/>...
  </fo:static-content>
  ...
</fo:page-sequence>

Arabic and Hebrew cannot be specified for the value of axf:page-number-prefix.

axf:physical-page-number

The axf:physical-page-number gets physical page number.

Value: true | false | inherit
Initial: false
Applies to: fo:page-number, fo:page-number-citation, fo:page-number-citation-last
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

The value of initial-page-number property is disregarded and the physical page number that is not affected by the page-sequence is obtained. In order to obtain the total number of pages, ID is given to the last page per the following example:

<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="lastpage" axf:physical-page-number="true"/>

See also fo:page-number-citation-last in XSL1.1.

axf:origin-id

Specifies the origin of the page number.

Value: <idref>
Initial: none
Applies to: fo:page-number, fo:page-number-citation, fo:page-number-citation-last
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

ID for the origin of the page number can be specified in fo:page-number or fo:page-number-citation. The output page number is as follows:

[ref-id page] - [origin-id page] + 1

If the specified Page is after the ref-id page, the value becomes 0. In fo:page-number, ref-id is considered to be the position of fo:page-number itself.

axf:assumed-page-number

Specifies the assumed page number.

Value: <number>
Initial: N/A
Applies to: all formatting objects
Inherited: yes
Percentages: N/A

When <fo:page-number-citation> appears, the reference area is sometimes undecided. In evaluation of <fo:page-number-citation>, the temporary area is secured first, and when a page number is decided, it is adjusted to the right contents. Since the size of an area may change at this time, the formatted result is sometimes not desirable. For example, when an area becomes narrow, it seems that there is an unnecessary line break, and condition that a character will overflow if an area becomes large appears. axf:assumed-page-number gives the assumed page number at that time.

AH Formatter V5.0 expects the area of at least three-digit page number and formats temporarily. What is necessary will be just to specify axf:assumed-page-number="99" etc., when the page number is clearly less than that.

axf:assumed-page-number-prefix

Specifies the assumed page number prefix.

Value: <string>
Initial: N/A
Applies to: all formatting objects
Inherited: yes
Percentages: N/A

When <fo:page-number-citation> appears, the reference area is sometimes undecided. It is unknown at this time whether the reference area is inside of the same <fo:page-sequence>. When the reference area is in the different <fo:page-sequence>, the values of axf:page-number-prefix may differ. Then the temporary area is secured first, and when a reference place appears, it is adjusted to the right contents. If axf:page-number-prefix is specified to the current <fo:page-sequence>, it will be assumed as a temporary area. Otherwise, a suitable short character string will be assumed. Since the size of an area may change at this time, the formatted result is sometimes not desirable. For example, when an area becomes narrow, it seems that there is an unnecessary line break, and condition that a character will overflow if an area becomes large appears. axf:assumed-page-number gives the assumed page number prefix at that time.

Even when axf:page-number-prefix is empty, it's not known whether it is empty at the time of the temporary formatting. Then a certain amount of the area will be secured. In order to deter this, please specify axf:assumed-page-number-prefix="''" to an suitable element. Since an area is not secured at this time, the setting of axf:page-number-prefix is ignored.

axf:number-type

The axf:number-type specifies whether to output the page number or to output the column number.

Value: page | column | page-and-column

page-and-column

Outputs both of the page number and the column number.

It can be specified to fo:page-number, etc. and the column number can be outputted instead of the page number. While format property is applied to the format of the page number, axf:column-number-format property is applied to the format of the column number. The column number is not outputted if multiple column is not specified by specifying of column-count="1" or span="all".

axf:column-number-format

The axf:column-number-format specifies the format of column number.

Value: <string>
Initial: A
Applies to: fo:page-sequence
Inherited: no
Percentages: N/A

It applies to the format of column number specified by axf:number-type property. It can be specified with the same way as format property.


Line Numbering

Place line numbers as part of the text. Line numbers can be placed against the line area. Even though the place looks empty, if there is a line area, line numbers can be placed. These are not placed in the space or in the margin. The axf:line-number is not effective inside fo:float or fo:footnote.

CAUTION: Placing the line numbering for the page formatted complexly with fo:block-container or fo:table, etc. might get unintended consequences. Please apply the line numbering to a simple structural document as much as possible.

Extended Functions

AH Formatter V5.0 extends some FO functions.

rgb-icc

The format of the argument which the rgb-icc function can accept is as follows. An identifier beginning with # is case insensitive. Formats using identifiers which begins with # are extended specifications in AH Formatter V5.0.

  • rgb-icc(#Grayscale,<Scale>)

    Specifies Grayscale. The depth in color can be specified by <Scale>.

  • rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#CMYK,<C>,<M>,<Y>,<K>)
  • rgb-icc(#CMYK,<C>,<M>,<Y>,<K>)

    Specifies CMYK. When RGB is omitted, it is calculated from CMYK.

  • rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#Separation,<Name>,<Tint>,<C>,<M>,<Y>,<K>) no-LT
  • rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#Separation,<Name>,<Tint>) no-LT
  • rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#Separation,<Name>) no-LT
  • rgb-icc(#Separation,<Name>,<Tint>,<C>,<M>,<Y>,<K>) no-LT

    Specifies Separation color (Spot color). The name of the ink in use is specified as <Name>. For example, specify "PANTONE 131 PC". The color tone is specified as <Tint>. When <Tint> is omitted, it is considered as 1.0. It is also necessary to specify RGB or CMYK. When RGB is omitted, it is calculated from CMYK.

  • rgb-icc(#Separation,<Name>,<Tint>) no-LT
  • rgb-icc(#Separation,<Name>) no-LT

    If you purchase AH Formatter PANTONE® Option, it includes the ability for more than 1000 PANTONE® Colors to be converted into RGB or CMYK values automatically. This is specified in the FO as follows:

    rgb-icc(#Separation, 'PANTONE 131 PC')

  • rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#Registration,<Tint>) no-LT
  • rgb-icc(<R>,<G>,<B>,#Registration) no-LT

    Specifies Registration color. The color tone is specified as <Tint>. When <Tint> is omitted, it is considered as 1.0. Registration color is used for the registered trademark outputted to all the color versions. Registration color can also be expressed by specifying "All" as the <Name> of #Separation.

Arguments take the following values, respectively.

  • <R>,<G>,<B> = % value or 0 to 255 integer value
  • <C>,<M>,<Y>,<K> = % value or 0.0 to 1.0 float value
  • <Scale> = % value or 0.0 (black) to 1.0 (white) float value
  • <Tint> = % value or 0.0 (lightest) to 1.0 (darkest) float value

Extended Values

AH Formatter V5.0 extends some values of the FO properties. In order to use these values, you have to specify exactly as follows:

axf:text-align="'.' center"

However, with AH Formatter V5.0, even if axf: is not added, it is made so that it may function similarly. Moreover, the FO standard property and the extended property can be specified simultaneously as follows:

text-align="." axf:text-align="center"

At this time, the standard property will be overwritten by the extended property and only axf:text-align="center" becomes effective. That is, it is the same as having text-align="center" specified. However, in order to avoid the confusion, please do not use such specification.

font-size-adjust

Following bold values are extended. V5.0

Value: none | <number> | <string> | inherit

Values have the following meanings.

<string>

Considers a character string as a font name and acquires the x-height value of the font. When a font does not exist or it does not have x-height information, it is regarded as none.

font-stretch

Following bold values are extended.

Value: normal | wider | narrower | ultra-condensed | extra-condensed | condensed | semi-condensed | semi-expanded | expanded | extra-expanded | ultra-expanded | <percentage> | <number> | inherit

Values have the following meanings.

<percentage>

Specifies the percentage against the font width.

end-on-doubly-even

Force the last page in this page-sequence to be an doubly-even-page.

doubly-even-document

Force the number of pages counted from the document head to be an doubly-even number.

[ end-on | document ] <number> [ <number> ] no-LT

Suppose that the first <number> is A, the next <number> is B, the number of pages of specified page-sequence is set as a multiple number of A + B. A must be an integer equal to or more than 1, B must be an integer equal to or more than 0 and less than A. When B is omitted, it is regarded as 0. when end-on was specified, the page number of the last page of the specified page-sequence is applied. When document is specified, The number of the page counted from the beginning of the document is applied. For example, force-page-count="even" is equivalent to force-page-count="2", force-page-count="odd" is equivalent to force-page-count="2 1" , force-page-count="doubly-even" is equivalent to force-page-count="4" and force-page-count="end-on-doubly-even" is equivalent to force-page-count="end-on 4" respectively.

format

The format tokens for the format property supports the format tokens defined in the XSLT 1.0 Recommendation and some extensions. axf:column-number-format is also the same.
