- <p>FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting
- objects and the world's first output independent formatter. It is a
- Java application that reads a formatting object tree and then
- renders the resulting pages to a specified output. <jump href="output.html">Output formats</jump>
- currently supported are PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area tree representation),
- Print, AWT, MIF and TXT.
- The primary output target is PDF.

- <p>The latest version of Fop is 0.20.4 and it supports the
- <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/">XSL-FO Version 1.0
- W3C Recommendation</jump>.
- You can <jump href="download.html">download</jump>
- Fop including a precompiled version, the source code and many example files to
- get you started. Pointers to introductions into xsl:fo can be found in the
- <jump href="resources.html">resources</jump> section. Please be aware, that
- Fop is at the moment not a full implementation of the basic conformance level
- of the xsl:fo standard. You can find a list of supported flow objects and properties
- in the section <jump href="implemented.html">Features</jump> and in section
- <jump href="limitations.html">Limitations</jump> in what way this support is
- limited.

- <p>FOP is part of Apache's XML project. The homepage of FOP is

- Here you can find information about using and developing with FOP.

-This image is a demonstration of a two page document. The xml data on the left
-is formatted into the two pages on the right. The document contains static areas
-that appear on every page, an external graphic in this case an svg document.
-There is a footnote on the first page and a table that goes across both pages.
-</p>
-<p>
-The advantage of XSL is the ability to take an XML document and to format
-the information into a page layout. The XML document can be generated
-in any way, the most common would be to use XSLT. FOP takes the XML
-and formats the data into pages. The pages are then rendered to the
-requested output.
-</p>
-<p>
-This is a real document. The image was created by rendering the document
-to the svg renderer then putting the rendered pages into an svg document
-along with the xml.

- <s1 title="FOP Objectives">
- <p>The goals of the Apache XML FOP Project are to deliver an XSL FO->PDF formatter that is compliant to at least the Basic
- conformance level described in the W3C Recommendation from 15 October 2001, and that complies with the 11 March 1999 Portable Document
- Format Specification (Version 1.3) from Adobe Systems.
- </p>
-
- <p>Conformance to the XML 1.0 Recommendation, XSLT 1.0 Recommendation and the XML Namespaces Recommendation is
- understood. Other relevant documents, such as the XPath and XLink Working Drafts, are referenced as necessary. The FOP
- Project will attempt to use the latest version of evolving specifications.
- </p>
-
- <p>To reach this aim currently the layout system is being redesigned to
-better handle the formatting of all different types of formatting objects.
