Creating PDF's using Apache FOP
From IBM Champion Paul Calhoun:
PDF’s have become a necessity in almost every application development
environment including Notes/Domino and XPages. Unfortunately the
available commercial tools can be expensive and still require developers
to write code to provide custom solutions. Apache FOP to the rescue!
FOP is an open source library that will allow developers to take
XML input (like the XML from ?ReadViewEntries) or custom XML and apply
an XSLT formatted stylesheet to it that contains PDF output instructions
to create a PDF document. This session will guide participants through
the complete setup, configuration and implementation. Source code
of all example will be provided that can be used as templates for duplicating
the solution in participants projects.
