Re: Hello ! Can I generate PDFs and XLS through a document object and Cocoon ?

[Joerg Heinicke]

No, in Cocoon 2.1 you can also use itext to produce PDF, but this needs 
another XML structure and this one is no standard. So I prefer the XSL 
Fo way even this is a bit complex.

I don't know of any Gnumeric2PDF processor. The two file formats are 
also for different purposes, so I guess there will never be one - but 
who knows at open source.

I did it using 2 stylesheets transforming RDF to XSL Fo on the one hand 
and Gnumeric on the other hand. The logic of both is partly similar. But 
Gnumeric has and needs a cell numbering (<gmr:Cell row="5" col=23"/>) 
while XSL Fo has only the order of the elements (as in HTML).

You only need the poi jar for generating Excel from Gnumeric file 
format. I don't know what you want to use it for otherwise?

Dear All ,  

 Hello ! Thank you for your reply ! I just downloaded
struts-cocoon-2.0 which use Cocoon 2.1M2 . Does Cocoon
only use XSL-FO to generate PDF ? Can I use Gnumeric
file format to generate PDF ? ( hehe ...... , if so ,
I can only use one XSLT to generate 2 format files )
If I use Gnumeric file format , should I download the
futher jars to my lib ? Thank you !
