Cannot convert MS Word HTML to PDF with fop-0.94; fop-0.20.5 worked
Hello All, First of all, I know nothing about Xalan, FOP, etc. I'm probably breaking all your posting rules. Maybe the list server figured that out and that's why it rejected my post via Gmane as spam. Anyway, I'm just trying to convert a Microsoft Word HTML file to PDF. The following article in the JavaWorld Forums: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2006/jw-0410-html.html explains how to convert HTML to PDF by using JTidy, Xalan and Apache FOP. The steps are as follows: 1) HTML - XHTML using jtidy-04aug2000r7-dev 2) XHTML - XML-FO using xalan-j 2.7.0 and xhtml2fo.xsl donwloaded from: http://www.antennahouse.com/XSLsample/sample-xsl-xhtml2fo/xhtml2fo.xsl 3) XML-FO - PDF using Apache fop-0.20.5 I have JRE and JDK 1.6 installed in default locations on Windows XP. The results are not quite satisfactory: 1) I had to change the left and right margins the stylesheet to 0.0in to avoid truncation of certain paragraph headings. 2) Certain GIF images were not rendered correctly. These were very small (1.4K - 3.19K, C++ class hierarchy diagrams, text in boxes), but in terms of dimensions were similar in size to other images that were rendered correctly. 3) Chapters don't start on a new page. I assume that they do in the original Word document, but I do not know that for a fact.
