I am creating a PDF using dynamic XML/XSL-FO from external source, I need an image bottom left of the page but its not working and flowing the text around the image.
The xsl used is as follows - note flower is a call to a snippet of fo:instream-foreign-object as an SVG
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:variable name="header" select="descendant-or-self::*[@id='prop_header']"/>
<xsl:variable name="title" select="substring-before($header,'-')"/>
<xsl:variable name="price" select="substring-after($header,'-')"/>
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="address"><xsl:value-of select="$title"/></fo:block>
<fo:block space-after="5mm" xsl:use-attribute-sets="innerprice"><xsl:value-of select="$price"/></fo:block>
<fo:block>
<fo:float float="left" width="61mm" clip="2mm" padding="1mm"
border-color="$grey" border-width="0">
<fo:block-container padding="0pt" margin="0pt" absolute-position="absolute" top="{$bleed + 200}mm" left="0mm" >
<xsl:call-template name="flower">
<xsl:with-param name="width">61</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="height">49</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:float>
</fo:block>
The image displays at the bottom but the text is pushed to the right all the way down the page, (at 61mm - if i make the width="1mm" it works but the text overflows the image.)
How can i have the image in the correct place and the text wrap around, also the text is variable and can change so position of the image inline of the text is impossible to calculate.
As long as you use FOP, it won't work. The fo:float formatting object is not supported. See http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-float.
