[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Export to PDF

Hi there,

I have been working on a project where we are writing a SOA developers and architecture guide. I made a decision to use EPF, as it fits perfectly for this job. We needed Word and PDF export, so I spent some time fidling with the XML export to transform it into a suitable XSL:FO format. It works now, after some major custom made "XML repair" (the export includes a lot of "broken html" with escaping that must be unescaped etc.
I use the Apache FOP and XFC for the final pdf and RTF/DOCX transformations.
This way you can configure the final FO that you end up with to suit your individual needs. I might post the "repair steps" for others to use as a stepping stone ;)


PS: My current effort took about 50 hours.

Cheers!
