Apoc XSL-FO

Apoc XSL-FO was the first commercially available XSL-FO rendering engine for the Microsoft .NET platform. XSL-FO is an XML vocabulary created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the same consortium that formalised HTML.

For in-depth briefing about the XSL-FO specification refer to the official XSL-FO W3C Recommendation.

XSL-FO is similar to HTML in that it allows documents to be created in a markup language. The fundamental difference between the two is that XSL-FO is intended for creating paged, printable documents, whilst HTML is more suited to onscreen documents.

Apoc XSL-FO processes XML documents that conform to the XSL-FO specification and produces Adobe PDF documents. Typically an XSLT style sheet is used to transform raw XML data into XSL-FO.

 

Apoc XSL-FO has been written for the Microsoft .NET Framework and is suitable for use from any .NET compatible language such as C#, VB.NET or C#.
