XHTML to PDF ( was Re: RTF and PDF )

xhtml to pdf

I was wondering if someone already thought of creating an XSL stylesheet to render XHTML pages to PDF.

From XHTML, you could have a web version and a print version.
That would be very nice.

Regards,
Jerome.

Not necessarily to FOP, yet to some XSL FO formatter - unless you're strong
enough to write a direct transformation from your XML to RTF (this is surely
possible using <xsl:output method="text", but is unlikely to be a slack ;-)).
For a primer, this link may be of help:

www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/education/transforming-xml/xmltopdf/index. html

It is an IBM tutorial that uses FOP. Be careful: things evolve as new XSL FO
drafts are being implemented, so what you find there may not correspond fully to
the actual state of FOP engine. Still it may be useful to have a look there. I
also suggest looking at our example at http://www.renderx.com/hammer.html.


Best regards,
