Subject: [xsl] ANN: RenderX announces first release of VisualXSL From: "Kevin Brown" <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 13:41:54 -0700 |
RenderX is pleased to announce the initial release of VisualXSL. VisualXSL is a graphical-based application for designing XSL style sheets primarily used as an overlay for forms. With an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface, VisualXSL does all the hard work for you. Behind the scenes, it is creating an XSL style sheet for use with RenderX XEP/XEPWin. It is an ideal product for creating XSLs for high-performance form-based print or even dynamic, on-the-fly form overlay. VisualXSL allows you to import a PDF or image as a background source. This could be a form or such things as standard letterhead. It does not matter where or what tool is used to create the form, as long as it is an image supported by XEP/XEPWin (including a PDF generated in another tool). The user can associate a representative data structure in XML with this background and then drag and drop data directly with the VisualXSL layout designer to generate the XSL for positioning the information. VisualXSL generates a specific XSL style sheet to render the overlay. It supports print on pre-printed forms (no background) or insertion of the background image into the output document. With the use of the XEP/XEPWin rendering engine to process the resulting XSL, you can have a complete solution for high speed generation of PDF and PostScript documents and forms. VisualXSL supports many forms-based elements including dynamic text, check marks, dynamic images, and barcodes. It also has wizards for easily creating address labels and mixing static text with dynamic content into paragraph blocks. All elements can be easily placed onto the page layout with their location precisely controlled. Textual content can be styled using Windows-based wizards which allow the user to define font face, size, style, color, weight and foreground color. You can also determine whole text box formatting properties including horizontal and vertical alignment. Every data field has properties that can be set to determine rendering under certain conditions. This allows for conditional formatting - including and excluding content as well as other logic operations. Logic can be based on element existence, element content as well as the element attributes. Almost all XPath expressions are created automatically when dragging and dropping XML nodes to the layout designer. You can also create or edit them manually. The application validates all XPath expressions and offers to modify an incorrect expression.

There is also a companion web site with additional technical materials and demos at www.visualxsl.com. Kevin Brown RenderX, inc.
