I have started to evaluate FOP for document production purposes.
At first look I am very impressed and hope to use it to produce PCL for
print runs of (less than 10) thousand small simple documents(2-3
pages). I also intend to store the FO make up of the document of the
document for production on demand in pdf (etc..) formats.
Firstly I would be grateful if you could let me know if this is a
sensible use for FOP.
Yes. FOP is quite capable of generating high volumes of documents in
either PCL or PDF.
Secondly, regarding PCL I notice that output tray selection is
supported via an extension I have tested this and it works but I cant
see how to specify a page as duplex. I am happy to get dug in to the
source code if required to achieve this. Does anyone have any
experience in generating PCL for duplex documents?
There is a similar bug recorded in Bugzilla that prevents Duplex
Printing in PCL.
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43650
However, this is not about getting the duplex commands into the PCL
stream though. I don't know how that could be done. But even if you
solved that problem, the above bug would prevent the document being
printed correctly.
(I also have a problem with AWT rendering integrated within my java
program... would this be a good place to ask)
Yes.
