Along the lines of the other comments ... What I use in production is a local tomcat server running the xmlsh servlet. http://www.xmlsh.org/EmbeddingServlet
Then from MarkLogic I package all the files needed for a PDF (including the source XML, as well as all images) into a ZIP stream, base64 encode it and POST it to an xmlsh servlet. The servlet then unencodes, unzips the files, uses XSLT to produce FOP then Apache FOP to produce a PDF. It then sends back the PDF to MarkLogic which then pushes it out to the client with the right Content-Type for PDF. This allows dynamic generation of PDF from a ML hosted application, entirely scripting based (only a few lines scripting of code on both ends). This is architecturally similar to the MLJAM solution but doesn't require any java coding. ---------------------------------------- David A. Lee Senior Principal Software Engineer Epocrates, Inc.

Is there a library for outputting PDF files from MarkLogic? I found plenty of information about converting PDF to XML, but what about the other way around? Thanks, Ryan
