Re: Using Apache FOP with XML for PDF formatting, input from database.
Perhaps you could create a PDF form and fill it with PDFBox or iText. Am 12.11.2014 09:18, schrieb Marc: Hi, Perhaps could you have a look at the PDF Form and FPF file?

Re: Using Apache FOP with XML for PDF formatting, input from database.
If you can deliver results from your database as XML ( eg. forxml in Sql Server ) over HTTP, you can easily generate master/detail reports using document variables.

Hello, I am already trying the Ireport software, which is beyond hopeless. I have finally made the layout as an Image and getting position of sections to put data from database.

Re: Using Apache FOP with XML for PDF formatting, input from database.
Hi, You may can use JasperReports Server free for this functionality which is based on fop behind. It have a GUI template designer and can access one or more databases, etc. Bye Szeak 2014-11-12 9:18 GMT+01:00 Marc : > Hi, > Perhaps could you have a look at the PDF Form and FPF file? > I'm not sure that FOP support the PDF Form generation at this time, I hear > about an extension some times ago. > Marc > Le 11/11/2014 16:09, Kernel freak a écrit : > > Hello friends, >> >> I am working on a project where I have to export the data from the >> database to a PDF.

Re: Using Apache FOP with XML for PDF formatting, input from database.
Hi, Perhaps could you have a look at the PDF Form and FPF file? I'm not sure that FOP support the PDF Form generation at this time, I hear about an extension some times ago.
