FOP - SVG - Legalnotice - CC

Hi all,

How to add CC svg graphics direct in pdf with fop + current batik.


I have been writing some texts in Docbook that I might put online.
They are not yet ready, but I figured I should have a look at the legal
section. I wanted to add a CC license.

As I was doing that I figured it would be nice to add the nice
CC logos, to have an easy to understand license.

Looking at http://labs.creativecommons.org/ they can generate me
a 88x31.png.. not very nice for pdfs.

So I went to the website, had a look and found svgs in the presskit.
I whipped together a svg that would mix everything I needed
(see attachment test.en.xml in imageobject)
Warning, I am not a designer..

fop does not handle the SVG (as it has use and image parts) but with the 
current batik trunk library and fop trunk it works. I also tested XEP and it 
also works.

I am running Debian sid, so if some library is missing it should
be available in sid as a package.

Getting fop up to spiff :
=========================

#  First get the latest batik (trunk, 1.7-beta)
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/batik/trunk/ batik
cd batik
./build.sh all-jar
cd ..
#  Now get fop
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/ fop
cd fop
#  Include the new batik lib
cd lib
cp ../../batik/batik-1.7/lib/batik-all.jar .
# need to get org.w3c.dom.svg
cp ../../batik/lib/xml-apis-ext.jar .
cd ..
ant

Testing the setup:
==================
# get the test.en.xml and swe-flag.svg  to the fop directory
xsltproc --output test.fo 
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl test.en.xml
./fop test.fo test.pdf
xpdf test.pdf

Hope it helped someone. Also for people who not need a CC tag, but
want to throw some nice SVG graphic in the mix.
