Re: Change page sequence after generating a pdf-document

Our intention is to publish a document like a book, so we have to produce a sequence of pages like : 1, 4, 2, 3... ( not 1,2,3,4 ...). It is possible to alternate the sequence of the pages? In other words : It is possible to have some influence on the PDF-serialization process ? For years I've needed to do this with my PDF books in order to offer stacked double-sided copies of the publication. I have been *more* than satisfied (ecstatic?) with Quite Imposing: http://www.quite.com It's the best investment in my publishing process. I'm running Quite Imposing version 1.5b(EN), not even Quite Imposing Plus, and I can do all the rearrangements of pages that I need through simple and straightforward GUI interfaces that figure out all the wierd page numberings needed for different options. I highly recommend it and take the time to cite in the colophon of my books and instructor-led training material. .

Ann: Upcoming live, web/CDROM, and audio-over-IP XSLT/XPath/XSLFO training (fop-dev)
Please read on if you are interested in XSLT/XPath or XSLFO training: (1) - live 3-day and 2-day hands-on courses the week of February 18-22, 2002 (at risk; please act soon) (2) - web- and CDROM-based 10-week courses starting in both February 2002 and March 2002 (3) - real-time audio-over-IP 3-hour lectures held every month Thanks! .. Ken (1) To Ottawa-area XML'ers (and those interested in travelling to Ottawa!): We are again having a 5-day training blitz of two separate hands-on courses: 3 days of XSLT/XPath immediately followed by 2 days of XSLFO during the week of February 18-22, 2002. These complementary courses provide comprehensive coverage over the week. The course titles are Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath and Practical Formatting Using XSLFO. Please follow the highlighted link from our home page below for details on early-bird/loyalty pricing and links to the course syllabi and other information. The hands-on exercises use commercial and/or non-commercial tools listed in the syllabi. These particular deliveries are at risk due to insufficient enrollment to date ... please let us know ASAP (in the next few days) if you or your colleagues are interested, or we may have to postpone the delivery for a number of months. I suppose many travel budgets and training budgets have been poorly affected recently, which unfortunately puts these courses at risk for others. (2) For those needing hands-on but are unable to travel: The XSLT/XPath material is being offered over a ten week period in both web-based and CD-based formats through Online-Learning.com starting on each of February 11, 2002 and March 11, 2002 under the title Practical Guide to XSLT ... see our delivery calendars linked from our home page noted below (3) For those needing introductory lectures: We have four titles being offered every month through the Intellor Group for you to attend from the comfort of your own computer ... see our delivery calendars linked from our home page noted below. These are three-hour live lectures being delivered with real-time audio-over-IP and interactive client software (see screen capture on our web site). cc: XSL List XML-DEV XML-L XML-EDI XSLFO XSLFO-WWW xalan-dev fop-dev comp.text.xml microsoft.public.xml microsoft.public.xsl OASIS members IDEA-ICC members -- Training Blitz: 3-days XSLT/XPath, 2-days XSLFO - Feb 18-22, 2002 G.

We are pleased to announce the publication this week of new editions of two of our electronic book titles: Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath (XSL Transformations and the XML Path Language) Tenth Edition - 2001-12-06 - ISBN 1-894049-08-X Copyright (c) 2001 Crane Softwrights Ltd. / 394 Pages / Subscription price includes free updates, / / soft-copy of all included examples, and an / / accessible rendition and 10 PDF renditions. / / Free 140-page download preview excerpt.

The free previews and purchasing information are linked through the topmost link named Book Sales on our home page noted below. We have tried to inform our existing customers of their free updates, but *many* email addresses are now being rejected. If you are entitled to your free update and have not yet heard from us, please contact us to request the password. Remember that the purchase of any edition of a book entitles you to *all* future editions of that same title at no charge (though buying one book does not entitle you to any other book), so you have to keep us informed of any email address changes to keep receiving your notices. Please note, however, that the purchase of any of our books that are published commercially in paper does *not* entitle you to the electronic copy or free electronic updates. Next week Prentice Hall are releasing Definitive XSLT and XPath ISBN 1-894049-06-3 which is a paper publication of an edited version of the Ninth Edition of our Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath In addition to the PDF renditions, we now include an accessible version of each of our books and the previews for the books. These renditions use monospaced fonts that are friendly to screen readers. These are produced using XSLFO using RenderX (previous editions were published using DSSSL) ... all our training material is authored in XML. The XSLT/XPath book has a new subsection on the grouping technique using variables (allowed me to do grouping using XT without using either axes or the key() function). Other sections have been updated over the last 11 months of feedback. The XSLFO book is in its first release. This book has hyperlinks from the text of the renditions directly to the W3C Recommendation document, allowing you to learn from our book yet have instant access to the W3C documents. Both editions have the following hyperlinks (note in Acrobat reader the ctrl-left arrow is the Back key): - page references in text - chapter references in module summary - section references in chapter summary - table of subsections at back of book - external links to web browser We continue to improve our publications with feedback from readers and students of instructor-led, real-time live audio over the Internet, and licensed deliveries by other training organizations who are using the material We look forward to your comments and feedback.

ANN: Hands-on XSLFO tutorial in Orlando December 10 is at risk
Hi folks, Just a quick note to those who were planning to attend the big conference in Orlando in December. IDEAlliance is a business and has to have a business case to run each of the tutorials being staged at the conference. There are as yet not enough pre-registrations for the hands-on XSLFO course being held Monday December 10 at XML'2001, so the course is at risk: http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/2001/montutorialsfull.htm#5 (The North American perspective on XSLFO must be different than in Europe as there were 30 people at the Berlin delivery in May and 28 people at the Amsterdam delivery in September). Note this is preceded the day before by our hands-on XSLT/XPath course, which is not at risk: http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/2001/suntutorialsfull.htm#5 If you were planning to register for the course when you get there, the course may not be available due to the low pre-registrations. To see the syllabi of all of our instructor-led courses, please follow the Instructor-led lecture and hands-on delivery calendar link on our home page noted below. Thanks! .
