What is FOP?
FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting
- objects. It is a Java 1.1 application that reads a formatting object
- tree and then turns it into a PDF document. The formatting object
- tree, can be in the form of an XML document (output by an XSLT engine
- like XT or Xalan) or can be passed in memory as a DOM Document or (in
- the case of XT) SAX events.
+ objects. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object
+ tree conforming to the XSL working draft from 18. October 2000 and
+ then turns it into a PDF document or allows you to preview it
+ directly on screen.
FOP is part of Apache's XML project. The homepage of FOP is
http:/xml.apache.org/fop
- HTML-Documentation can be found in the subdirectory /docs.

+ A list of bugs, things worked on, and the names of the committers of this project
+ can be found in the file status in root.
- Compilation of Fop is started by executing build. It requires
- Xerces-J, Xalan and bsf.jar (comes with Xalan) in your classpath.
- Fop builds successfully with Xerces 1.1.2 and Xalan 1.1, earlier versions
- may prove problematic, if they don't support the final version of SAX 2.
- You can find more details in build.xml or in the documentation under the
- heading 'compiling'.
