  21. <P>FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting
  22. objects. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object
  23. tree and then turns it into a PDF document. The formatting object
  24. tree, can be in the form of an XML document (output by an XSLT engine
  25. like XT or Xalan) or can be passed in memory as a DOM Document or (in
  26. the case of XT) SAX events.
  27. </P>
  28. <P>FOP is part of Apache's XML project. The homepage of FOP is

  33. <P>The goals of the Apache XML FOP Project are to deliver an XSL FO-&gt;PDF formatter that is compliant to at least the Basic
  34. conformance level described in the 27 March 2000 XSL WD, and that complies with the 11 March 1999 Portable Document
  35. Format Specification (Version 1.3) from Adobe Systems.
  36. </P>
  37. <P>Conformance to the XML 1.0 Recommendation, XSLT 1.0 Recommendation and the XML Namespaces Recommendation is
  38. understood. Other relevant documents, such as the XPath and XLink Working Drafts, are referenced as necessary. The FOP
  39. Project will attempt to use the latest version of evolving specifications.
  40. </P>
  41. <P>Secondary goals of the FOP Project (also, &quot;FOP&quot;) are desirable requirements that also have a high priority.
  42. </P>
  43. <P>One secondary goal of the FOP Project is to deliver a follow-on version of the formatter that is compliant to the Extended
  44. conformance level described in the XSL FO. Any formatting objects that cannot be translated into PDF will be explicitly
  45. identified as such.
  46. </P>
  47. <P>Another secondary goal is to promote the conversion of SVG into PDF. The most natural mechanism for doing so is within
  48. fo:instream-foreign-object FO's. The powerful graphics offered by both SVG and PDF are a natural fit, and it is
  49. desirable that FOP natively supports an SVG content processor for the fo:instream-foreign-object.
  50. </P>
  51. <P>A final secondary goal is the continued refinement of the FOP design and implementation. In particular, maintaining the
  52. separation between formatting and rendering, continuing to support the AWT Viewer renderer (backend), and providing
  53. new renderers, are all desirable objectives.
