I have done this. Note that this support is not dependent on iText in any way whatsoever.
the process: a. obtain your starting xml (say from your database or whatever).\ b. create a (transform) stylesheet to transfrom your base XML to an XML that uses the tags needed by iText. c. use iText to create PDF from second (transformed) XML So pictorially: database->XML XML+XSLT->XML XML+iText->PDF -----Original Message----- From: Bruno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 3:49 AM To: willie.infopower Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [iText-questions] itext support XSLT?

No, writing XSLT functionality would be reinventing the wheel. > I want to use XSL + XML to generate PDF Remark that PDF is a binary format and that XSLT can't be used to produce binary files. If you use XSLT you always need two passes: XML -> FO with XSLT FO -> PDF with FOP or XML -> XML (iText tags) with XSLT XML (iText tags) -> PDF with iText best regards, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions
