Thanks Paul! -----Original Message----- From: Paul Tyson [mailto:paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 10:02 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] XML to Word Document Jon, Any system that will process xsl-fo documents will likely be able to produce PDF, and FOP (http://xml.apache.org/fop) should do that on Windows as well as on any other java platform. (Even if an xsl-fo processor doesn't make PDF directly, you can use any PostScript printer driver to produce PostScript, then use the GhostScript ps2pdf utility to get PDF.) If I were going to set up an XML publishing system on Windows I would use Sebastian Rahtz's passiveTeX system (http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rahtz/passivetex/) in conjunction with MikTeX (http://www.miktex.org). And you'll need your XSLT processor of choice to create the xsl-fo document from xml source. Unless you regularly require advanced formatting features such as floated graphics and complex page layouts, this type of system should work quite well for producing high-quality PDF output. It is scaleable and stylesheet-driven, so you have complete control at every stage. You can easily create a script (using Windows command language, née DOS batch file, or your favorite scripting language) for automatic batch processing.
