$Id$ ============================================================================== APACHE FOP - README ============================================================================== Contents of this file: - What is FOP? - Legal Information - Where to get help? - How do I build FOP? - How do I run FOP? - Release Notes ============================================================================== 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/. Legal Information --------------------- Apache FOP is published under the Apache License version 2.0.

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).

And if it doesn't, you may tell us as well, of course. ;-) Release notes for older FOP versions can be found on: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/relnotes.html
