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/.

How do I build FOP?
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
If you've downloaded a binary distribution, you don't need to build
|
|
FOP.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, please follow the instructions found here:
|
|
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/stable/compiling.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
How do I run FOP?
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Simply by typing "fop" on the command-line. Without any parameters you
|
|
will receive a screen with instruction on how to call FOP from the
|
|
command-line.
|
|
|

details.
|
|
|
|
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).
