Subject: Re: [xsl] Office 2007, XSL-FO, and the Adobe "Save as PDF" From: "M. David Peterson" <xmlhacker@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2006 16:06:16 -0600 |
This is really what I am trying to get to the bottom of... Does this really matter to the XSL* communities as a whole. If yes, then any extended work I do in this area should keep this in mind... if no... then no worries... If there are areas that I personally feel like are beneficial, then I must make any decisions in regards to work I do in this area based on my own opinions desires. If, however, there are folks that feel like this is beneficial work in a broader sense of the word, then I need to keep this in mind as well, and act accordingly.
Thanks for your comments... You definitely know how to say it like it is :D (a good thing, in my opinon :D)

For me, I hope the whole PDF document type dies a quick death. Perhaps what you are talking about helps it.
Have you ever tried to convert PDFs (especially PDFs produced by many different people) to something usable for XSL processing? I have often fantasized about taking PDF out back and shooting it.
(for that that matter, to a lesser extent, I hope MS Office Word and Open Office Write dies a similar death)
