RE: Novice: Seeking to control PDF properties using xsl:FO

2002-11-18 Thread Rhett Aultman



It's 
my understanding that none of the things you've mentioned are actually part of 
the FO standard, since FO doesn't deal with the possible rendering formats that 
FO can be translated to. How could any of the things you mentioned be 
applicable to an AWT rendering or a text rendering? I haven't seen a part 
of the FO spec that deals with the things you're talking about, although I'm 
only a junior developer around here.

I 
think we've talked about special PDF extensions for FOP, too, but that doesn't 
really go anywhere because we have so much else to be doing.

  Seeking to control PDF properties using xsl:FO
  
  Hey there,
  
  Im new to a lot of this stuff but 
  gotta catch up quick if I would like to continue eating, having a roof over my 
  head etc J.
  
  I need to investigate what PDF 
  properties can be controlled through FO (Example: Locking during saves, 
  what can be configd/edited, can I add custom toolbars to PDF from FO?) 
  and I barely know where to start. 
  Is it possible to have a PDF in a 
  Web page and have a link for say printing that would initiate a PDF print 
  rather than a browser printer.
  
  Any leads/pointers would be 
  greatly appreciated.
  
  Mike

None of them are defined in xsl-fo, because they are too pdf-specific. 
You can use extensions or postprocess pdf by a pdf-oriented software 
(iText is on the top of the list). And where to start - Dave Pawson's 
Introduction to xsl-fo [1] is the best one IMO.

PS. And please, don't post to the list in html format, see mail lists 
guidelines[2] how to turn it off.
