Hello Kevin,
Thanks a lot for these answers. I have the full picture.
I need an automated solution (at least), which will render things on the fly,
but I'll definitely look along that road (and server-side).
I will let you and the list know if I find anything interesting.
thanks!
Cedric
ps: I don't want to fool Adobe, but here is the answer I got from the official
TLF forums :) (sorry list, I cross posted ... )
TLF - SWF
In Acrobat, SWF - PDF
LOL, like I'd be playing legos (I'm starting to wonder if Adobe knows that
people are building true programs on automated processes with their software
solutions ??!!?? )
Hi Cédric,
I think you can open FXG (and TLF) in Illustrator or InDesign and save it out
as a PDF from there.
It should also be possible to create an AIR app (or Flash) that renders the
FXG or TLF using the TLF library, then use PrintJob to print to PDF on
Windows with Acrobat Distiller, or natively on Mac OSX.
If you need something more automated, I'm not sure what you'd use - but there
may be an AS3 library that can export your stage elements to PDF (it'd need
to support FTE, which is what the TLF lib distills your TLF/FXG xml into,
when it adds it to the stage). I've never looked for something like that, so
I'm not sure if it exists.
On the server side, I'd guess you'd need to find (or create) an xls style
sheet (or some library written in some server side language) to translate the
document.
Good luck!
Kevin N.

Does anyone know if Adobe did a TextLayout FXG markup to PDF converter ?
(that would be a blast to envision such txt layout without building a bridge
towards PDF !! Seriously, I am about to whine as I didn't find anything ...
just wondering what to do next)
What I have found, and I am not happy about it:
I have TLF markup - I convert to XML - I use XSL:FO and render to PDF ???
Never used to beg or anything, but pleeease (Why do I feel left alone
when I opt for TextLayout action ? )
