RE: xml to pdf conversion


Maybe this will help...

This is how I do a 'demo' of the whole process (from XML tp PDF)
1- Open DOs box and execute the style sheet conversion to get from XML to FO
like this:
    XT input stylesheet output
The input file is your 'raw' XML; the stylesheet converts this XML file into
an XML file containing FO-tags.
2- Next, you have to call the FOP-processor. I use a CMD file for this
purpose. I named it 'fo-to-pdf.cmd'.  It takes one parmL the input file.
This input file is the output of step1 (the XML file containing the
FO-tags.)
   So type in: fo-to-pdf input-file
This generates an output file called input-file.pdf 

This is the content of the CMD file 'fo-to-pdf':

rem @echo off
rem   This batch file encapsulates a standard XEP call. 

set JAVA_HOME=E:\JavaSoft\JRE\1.3.0_02
set XEP_HOME=C:\XEP

set
CP=%JAVA_HOME%/lib/tools.jar;%XEP_HOME%/lib/xep.jar;%XEP_HOME%/lib/xerces-1.
0.0.jar;%XEP_HOME%/lib/JimiProClasses.zip

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -classpath %CP% -Dcom.renderx.FO2PDF.ROOT=%XEP_HOME%
-Dcom.renderx.FO2PDF.VALIDATE=true -Dcom.renderx.FO2PDF.GC_LEVEL=0
com.renderx.FO2PDF.Driver %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Hi Rianda (and Spencer),

I found FOP at http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html, downloaded everything 
I could found, read everything I could read, but until now I wasn't able to 
get it working. How do I get a Windows-exe to be able to run it from the 
command line, etc..
What I miss is a simple "Getting started".
Maybe it's beacuse I only have java 1.3.1 runtime environment???

Greetings Rene

If you are using xsl as well as xml, then you can download a package called
FOP, and run it from the command line, it transforms xsl and xml into pdf
format and is available free of charge. Extensive tutorials are available
with the downloaded package. Just do a search from a search engine for FOP.
