Re: Need help:converting xml = fo = pdf
can use xml + xsl = xsl:fo then xsl:fo + fop = pdf - Original Message - From: ANIL B G [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 1:56 PM Subject: Need help:converting xml = fo = pdf Hello, What is the simplest way of converting file.xml = file.fo = file.pdf Second part is straight forward, I just need to feed file.fo to FOP to generate file.pdf Is there any simple way to convert file.xml to file.fo ?? Is there any tool that does this job or do I need to write my own Java parser for converting file.xml to file.fo Please advise me.

Is there any tool that does this job or do I need to write my own Java parser for converting file.xml to file.fo Hello Anil, There is no automatic way of converting some XML to FO because no computer program can magically come up with the way that *you* want it printed out. You have to give it some help as to how to display the XML. Remember that file.fo is in XML format too. You don't have to write any Java to convert one XML format to another XML format if you don't want to. You can use a technology called XSLT. (Or XSL depending on how picky you want to be). This basically has (XML) scripts which say when you see this sort of XML tag, output that sort of XML. So for the most part you would take your XML as input, and output the equivalant XSL:FO type output. Since FOP already uses an XSLT engine (Xalan by default) you can just tell it take this XML file as input, and use this XSLT file to transform it, and output PDF, but you can output the .fo file too if you want. If possible when asking this sort of question please say what documentation you have already read, because this sort of information should be in there already.
