[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: Export to PDF and Import from Word

Hi there,

I have successfully created a small Java/Groovy framework using XSLT and apache FOP and XFC (from Xmlmind.com), that transforms the EPF XML export to one or more PDFs.

* PDF representing the default view (could be changed to create for all or a particular view)
* PDF representing each of the major categories of MethodElement, fx a PDF with all the Tool and ToolMentors (with internal PDF links!)


One could "easily" extend or customize this framework.

I have since then discovered the xsmall framework https://smallx.dev.java.net/
I'm now in the process of rewriting my "patchwork" framework to something more usable!


I have also been working on automating the import of content written in Word, using "save as html". I first took the path of trying to generate linked .xmi files, but now I am taking the path of generating a single XML file that follows the EPF XML Schema, to be imported using EPF "import from XML".
Both methods could potentially work, and each have its own strenghts...


Since I'm as of yet not a committer, I'm not sure where to post any finished "product". Any ideas?
