Hi everyone, Thank you for your useful comments and putting up with a newbie question.
Our requirement is that we have to do it programmatically. Feed a URL and get a PDF. I've looked into HTMLDoc (which is based on iText) but it doesn't support CSS files in its latest version. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that unless style specified by the CSS are explicitly inserted by the developer in the Formatting Object document (Step 2 below), they will not be picked up by the XSL transformer. I would appreciate if anyone can confirm this. ------------------------------ (1) use an html generator to create XHTML from the html document(s) (2) send this xhtml --> XSL Transformer to create the formatting objects document (3) use the pdf serializer to create the PDF ------------------------------ Regards, Asim Raja -----Original Message----- From: McDonald, Bruce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 10:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: does cocoon support css Another way: Download latest openoffice and it supports PDF printing directly. -----Original Message----- From: McDonald, Bruce Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 10:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: does cocoon support css Not possible (AFAIK). Cocoon generates a PDF from an XML document which is transformed using XSL:FO. What you want to do is best accomplished using Adobe Acrobat Distiller or one of a number of open source projects. I am able to "print" to a PDF file on my Linux (KDE) Desktop. -----Original Message----- From: Asim Raja [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 07, 2003 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: does cocoon support css Hi, I'm interested in using use Cocoon to convert an html page to a PDF file. I would like to feed the URL of the page and get the PDF. I would like to know if CSS used by the webpage would be supported by the HTMLGenerator and the PDF Serializer? Thank you in advance for your help!
