The company I'm integration ofBiz for needed to do a custom shipping
document with a peel-off shipping label. So I went down the route of
using the FOP PDF integration. This turned into a sort of nightmare
by the time I was done.
The problem was that the GIF/PNG returned by DHL has a
transparent background. The FOP generator doesn't support transparencies
(documented on their site). So I ended up integrating a image library
that added a white background color. At the same time I cropped the
label to remove the "cut or fold here" line since it wasn't necessary
on the custom peel-off. I used a library found on sourcforge
(
http://schmidt.devlib.org/jiu/index.html) but now thinking about
switching over to the Sun image libraries...
Looking for feedback before I submit to JIRA.

John
