Re: To convert any image / doc to pdf using FOP
Yes, I realized that I am using the Apache FOP 0.94 version. So , I might have to upgrade to higher version like 0.95. But I have few questions. 1) will that version work fine with converting all images, word documents, scanned documents, html. If not which version is better.? 2) In your previous message you have given a minimal document, using external graphics. Will you be able to tell where it is exactly placed in the web project folder structure. How is it accessed..

But I have few questions. 1) will that version work fine with converting all images, word documents, scanned documents, html. Images, yes (as Jeremias mentioned). Word documents? Yes, if you mean the WordML-format, but then you have to take care of transforming WordML to XSL-FO first. Same for HTML. If it is XHTML, then it can be transformed to FO using XSLT. You could also achieve a similar transformation via Java code, with CSS2XSLFO (http://www.re.be/css2xslfo/) Note that with 0.95, it will also be possible to insert entire PDFs (provided you have nothing against an additional dependency on PDFBox, IIC) 2) In your previous message you have given a minimal document, using external graphics. Will you be able to tell where it is exactly placed in the web project folder structure. How is it accessed.. XSL-FO and FOP are quite flexible in this regard. You can use absolute URIs for images with a static/central location. Via the user-configuration, you can also specify a global base-URL that will be used to resolve all relative URIs (http:// xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/configuration.html). And, on top of that, you could also implement a custom URIResolver of your own that goes looking for the image wherever you want. This might be handy if the images are stored as BLOBs in a database.

Fop expects XSL-FO files as input. For convenience it also accepts XML and XSLT files. However, you cannot pass an image (e.g. jpeg or gif) directly to FOP. Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant.
