Apache FOP Compatibility

Question:

Can i use the Apache FOP to convert a .fo file from your software to a PDF?

Currently I am locked with this system but I would like to use XF Designer to create the FO file.

Answer:

Yes; you can even configure XF Designer to run FOP when generating PDF. Just click the File Button, then go to Options/Rendering Engine.

When specifying the command line, you will also need to use the -r flag (for 'relaxed/less strict validation'). For best results you should also enable the FOPCleaner Plug-In (Options/Plugins) which remove all attributes not supported by FOP and performs additional checks.

Also, see the FOP compatibility page to know in advance what's supported and what's not: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html

	Question: I'm using FOP programmatically. How do I set relaxed validation then? Answer: To use FOP programmatically you will be creating a FopFactory object. Let's say you're using the following code: FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); After it, simply write: fopFactory.setStrictValidation(false); Then, when you create your FOUserAgent object, it will have less-strict (relaxed) validation enabled.
