Subject: XSL FO -> PDF From: Rhonda Fischer <rhonda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 09:57:44 +0000 |
Hello, I have been assigned the task of assessing an appropriate tool to generate PDF files from XSL FO. I am hoping to receive some input on your preferred solution and features that you appreciate and/or find frustrating. I am keen to recommend a product that is supported and continues to be developed with updates issued and is very much platform independant, using Java. I am working on Linux-i686-2.2.16 using SAXON. Any information that might assist me or guide me to sources of further informtion is much appreciated. Thank you Rhonda Thus far, according to my research the main products worth considering are: -------------------------------------------------- Product: XEP Developer: RenderX Version: Beta Licence: Commercial Platform: UNIX, Win32 Query: * Does that mean the platform can also be Java based? * If XEP is a rendering engine does it work with a servelet engine such as Tomcat? I may have this slightly confused? --------------------------------------------------- Product: FOP Developer: Apache XML Project Version: alpha-0.12 Licence: Open Source Platform: Java Query: * I am assuming FOP and XEP perform similar tasks according to the comparison chart drawn up by RenderX? ----------------------------------------------------- Product: Cocoon Developer: Apache XML Project Version 1.6-dev Licence: Open Source Platform: Java Thought: * This may be a bigger product that incorporates FOP and the ability to generate HTML, perhaps more features than required. ----------------------------------------------------- I did have a look at PassiveTeX also, although I was concerned that information I came across stated that running headers/footers were not dealt with properly. ------------------------------------------------------ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
