Hi,
Only recently looking into FOP for creating PDF output that is highly
customized (eg. corporate identity) I am feeling disappointed in (the
expectations that I had in) FOP.
Either because I do not find any useful examples, or because most of what
I do find is very complicated, while we are basically only interested in
changing styles, adding a header/footers, cover-page or an index.
My own toolchain (using docbook2odf and unoconv) is in many ways easier
for end-users to customize than FOP or dblatex, because it is a matter of
tweaking styles in OpenOffice and using that template during conversion,
even when docbook2odf is less complete as an implementation (docbook2odf
certainly is missing basic functionality and integration with specific
docbook constructs).
I am leaning towards improving docbook2odf to the point where it can do
what I need (cover-page, better/customizable admonition support, options
for enabling indexes, etc...), basicaly all the things that are not
configurable by styles.
Does anyone known of any good examples for creating nice customized
PDF output using FOP ? Or can we create some momentum in improving
docbook2odf to have an alternative toolchain for PDF (and other formats)
output.
Any insights from the experts ? :)
