This is about performance of nested-table based layout
using Apache(0.20.4).
I generate pdf reports(10-60 pages long) which has
NAME/VALUE pairs and some nested tables (3 level
deep).
This is how I have the page layed out. I have a base
table with 2 columns. Left column contains the NAME
and the right column contains the VALUE. In some
cases, left column has NAME and right column has a
table (nested table 2 level deep). In some cases, I
have table which spans 2 columns. That table can also
be tested.
Hope my little diagram will explain it better.
---------------------------
1. NAME | VALUE
---------------------------
2. NAME | VALUE
---------------------------
3. NAME | ---------------
|
---------------
|
---------------
---------------------------
4.

----------------------

----------------------
---------------------------
5. NAME | VALUE
---------------------------
1,2,5 are NAME/VALUE pairs
3 NAME in first column and table in second column
4 One big table spanning 2 columns
Apache FOP processor seems to take a really long time
(about 30 secs for a 20 page PDF)to render.
Is this a page design issue or is it Apache processor
unable to deal with nested tables ?
Dose any one know ? Or can anyone suggest a alternate
solution to my problem ?
Thanks in advance.
