Hi, one of our product managers had the "brilliant" idea to support both PDF and RTF for some documents so that our customers can mess up the documents we generate to their liking...yeah, whatever.
As I said we already have a working environment which generates PDF from XML via XSL-FO with the help of FOP 0.92, and I was pleased to see that FOP also supports RTF because I really like FOP and the way it works :-) So what I tried was (heavily stripped down) the following: Fop rtfFop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_RTF, rtfOut); Source rtfSource = new DOMSource(doc); Result rtfResult = new SAXResult(rtfFop.getDefaultHandler()); transformer.transform(rtfSource, rtfResult); rtfFop.close(); Well, it works...somehow ;-) It really produced an RTF-document, but all the beautiful design that my PDFs contain was missing - no tables, regions, absolute positions... I understand that this is not the way you show in your examples, where you use stuff like "RtfTable tbl = foo.newTable(bar);". But my question is now anyway: Will the way I want to use RTF-generation ever be completely supported by FOP? I.e. will there be a chance to have just _one_ XSL-FO which I can use for both PDF and RTF? If not, I have a strong argument against the product manager - if yes...well, some more work for me ;-) Thanks in advance!
