absolute positioning & overlapping

Post by **pagaj** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 5:17 pm

Hi!

I am transforming a WordML doc to XSL-FO and then to PDF (using FOP 0.92). The doc has only one page and it consists of a table with some data and a picture which is absolutely positioned at the top of the page (before the table, although in XML file they are written in reverse order - table first with no positioning and then the graphic with absolute positioning).
I have managed to transform the doc into FOs (using XSL-T, of course) but the problem is that after positioning the graphic overlaps partly the table which is not positioned explicitly. Is there a way to make the graphic push the table down the page to make it entirely visible?

Thanks in advance
Pawel

Hello,

Did you try to convert your WordML document to DocBook first and then to PDF ? You can do that with a pipeline of XSLT transformations applied on your WordML document: wordml-normalise.xsl, wordml-sections.xsl, wordml-blocks.xsl, wordml-final.xsl. You can find them in [oXygen7.2-install-folder]/frameworks/docbook/xsl/wordml.
