RE: XSL-FO Engine comparisons
I have used GhostScript for awhile. And it works great for that purpose.

It displays on the screen very nicely, and prints nicely too. However, it does not produce a PDF document that I can send to my editor or a typesetter. Cant you print PS to file and Distill it? I suppose I could, but only if somebody knows of an open source tool for distilling files. After the Skylarov fiasco, I'll be damned if I'm going to give Adobe one more penny. Hmm, after a little hunting around with Google it looks like GhostScript might actually do that.

PDF FO
Has anyone seen/tried reversed process of converting from PDF to FO format? Or from any other non-XML formats. Thanks. Steve Rybin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: PDF FO
Couple days ago, the question was about PDF2XML, not FO. Anyway, you right, I am looking for something like MS Word to FO. I had a chance to look into WH2FO, which is converter from MS HTML file to 3 files (XML,XSL and XSL attributes). After you transform it into FO, but it does not work correctly as far as formatting. I will take a look at http://www.novosoft-us.com/NS2B.nsf/d2?OpenViewRestrictToCategory=Novosoft_ RTF2FO today.

Could have sworn someone just asked that question a day or two ago. Perhaps searching the archives might help. My answer as before is what are you trying to do? Or from any other non-XML formats. Not sure what you mean? I typically generate FO from a relational database, and also from a java applet. Do you mean Is there an MS Word to FO converter ? (Replace MS Word by whatever you like...)
