XF Rendering Server / High Volume XSL-FO and XML Formatter

At it's core, XF Rendering Server is a high volume, XSL-FO 1.1 compliant XML formatting engine. Using XSL stylesheets, XF Rendering Server can produce a multitude of output formats including PDF, Postscript, TIFF, JPEG, Silverlight, HTML, Word, PowerPoint, AFP (MO:DCA), SVG, PNG and more. Your reports, catalogues, invoices, statements, brochures and other publications will look professional due to the exhaustive set of formatting capabilities that are built-in, including support for advanced pagination, hyphenation, full color support including RGB, CMYK, ICC and SPOT. The generated PDF can display barcodes, charts, maps, 3D objects, Flash objects and all major image formats including SVG, and has support for tables, floats, headers and footers, footnotes and more. Is also highly scalable, being able to paginate XML documents of any size at a sustained rate of thousands of pages per minute with a memory consumption that is usually under 100 Mb. It has full Unicode support and can display output in any language including Russian, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese and more. XF Rendering Server runs on Windows and Linux and it doesn't require any additional software including the .NET Framework or Java.

XF Designer / XSL-FO Based Layout Designer

XF Designer is an easy to use document layout editor. Your XML contains data. XF Designer will help you create templates that can be used by XF Rendering Server or any other XSLFO compliant engine to present this XML data. In the past, software developers used to code XSL stylesheets for this purpose with nothing more than a text editor. While this is still possible today, having a good layout designer will cut the development time in less than half. Moreover, templates created in XF Designer can be easily modified by non-technical users because the WYSIWYG user interface resembles Microsoft Word and drag & drop is used to add dynamic data to your report. XF Designer user internally the same core engine as our server product. Templates are XML documents which can be edited by professional programmers to achieve an ever greater control over the generated output. XF Designer also supports creation of multilanguage templates using external resources files.

XF Desktop Edition / XSLFO and XML Formatting Engine for Desktop

Based on the same engine as our server product, XF Desktop Edition brings powerful XML formatting abilities to any .NET or Windows native desktop application. You can convert XSL-FO, WordML and DOCX to one of the supported output formats including PDF, Postscript, XPS, TIFF and more. The desktop engine can also run XML data through layout templates (standard XSL or XF Designer-created XFD) and produce Web and print-ready documents. It can also send the result directly to a printer.
As part of the package you also get two .NET controls: a viewer and a editor. You can use them as part of your solution in order to preview a document or make small changes. XF Desktop Edition is very cost effective and is licensed royalty free.

Data Aggregation Server / Free Data Integration

XML is great in middle-tier because it enables intelligent partitioning of your application's functions. It is also very convenient, because many modern middle-tier components are able to export XML.
But if you don't have XML and you have to start from scratch, you can use Data Aggregation Server (DAS) to retrieve data from multiple databases, XML files, Web services and more and generate a unique, coherent image. This process is called Data Integration.

Data Architect / Visual Data Integration Designer

The uniqueness of our approach is that instead of using a complex API for Data Integration, we chose to develop a visual environment, Data Architect, that will help you define the rules for retrieving and aggregating the data using just simple drag & drop operations.
You will become a hero for implementing a cutting edge process in which all decision makers can get involved and in the same time shorted your development time significantly!
