FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven +by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter. +It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and +renders the resulting pages to a specified output. -Note that not all parts of the XSL 1.1 specification have yet been -implemented. +Output formats currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML +(area tree representation), Print, AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, +RTF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF. + +The goals of the Apache FOP project are to deliver an XSL-FO to PDF +formatter that is compliant to at least the Basic conformance level +described in the W3C Recommendation from 05 December 2006, and that +complies with the November 2001 Portable Document Format Specification +(Version 1.4) from Adobe Systems. |
