-
- What is FOP?
- ---------------
-
- Apache FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting
- objects. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object tree
- conforming to the XSL 1.1 Recommendation (05 December 2006) and then turns it
- into a PDF document, certain other output formats or allows you to preview it
- directly on screen. Some parts of the XSL 1.1 specification (work in progress!)
- have also been implemented.
-
- Apache FOP is part of Apache's XML Graphics project. The homepage of Apache
- FOP is http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/.

-
- Major Changes in Version 0.93
- -----------------------------
-
- * Added support for the use of Open Type fonts (BD)
- * Support for the rgb-icc() function and for a proprietary cmyk()
- function (for device CMYK colors only through the PDF renderer so
- far). (JM) Thanks to Peter Coppens. Fixes 40729.
- * Enabled Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader for
- text using embedded TrueType fonts. (BD) Thanks to Adam Strzelecki,
- Victor Mote. Fixes 5535.
- * Added support for PDF/A-1b and PDF/X-3:2003. (Note: this may still
- be a bit incomplete. Feedback is welcome!)
- * The Java2DRenderer (and therefore the print and bitmap renderers) is
- now offering the same quality as the PDF and PS renderers. Note:
- There can still be little differences between PDF and Print/PNG/TIFF
- because the latter uses a different font metrics source.
- * Automatic support for all fonts available to the Java2D subsystem
- for all Java2D-descendant renderers (TIFF, PNG, print, AWT).
