[xsl] XHTML to PDF
Subject: [xsl] XHTML to PDF From: sharrison@xxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2003 16:03:56 -0500 |
Hi, After having read many articles on XML transformations (eg. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/education/transforming-xml/xmltopdf/index.html ), I'm a believer. Given an XML document and the appropriate XSL style sheet on can perform transformations at will to multiple channels. Excellent. We are rebuilding our website from the ground up. A good opportunity to adopt XHTML as well as improve the document mangement and publishing processes throughout our organization. Having read about the benefits of XML publishing processes and written some simple apps using java and xml, I'm ready to put this into practice. From what I understand, if our web documents are XHTML compliant I should be able to apply a style sheet and perform transformations on our web pages direct to PDF using the apache's FOP classes, right? If so, it seems rather obvious that there should be XSLs out there that facilitate the transformation of XHTML strict to XSL-FO to PDF. (I'm not the only one who wants to publish to web and pdf.) But when I search around I'm not seeing many. Where are all the XSLs for XHTML? What would really be slick is a custom jsp tag library that provides a link to perform XHTML-to-PDF transform on-the-fly. I'm not finding any at jakarta or anywhere else. Why not? If the FOP java classes are available in combination with the proper XSL, it seems like an obvious project. Is there a layer of complexity that I'm missing here that thus prevents the application of these technologies? Thanks!!
