Dynamic pages with PDF output

[Tim Bachta <tb...@kopent.com>]

Hello all, 

 

I am very new to cocoon, less than a week playing with it now and I am
having trouble.  What attracted me to cocoon is the ability of multiple
outputs from a single source.  The problem I am having is getting my xsp
page to show in pdf format.  Is it possible and if so how are you
supposed to do it?  Please help me, thanks.

Hello Tim,

two resources can be found at the Cocoon website:

http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/serializers/pdf-serializer.html
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/howto/howto-html-pdf-publishing.html

Another one are the samples on your locally running Cocoon.

Of course it is possible. The idea is that you develop your xsp page and
then use a transformer (.xsl) to convert your xml format into xsl-fo. If
you don't know anything about this format look at
http://xml.apache.org/fop/

Finally you'll use something like this in your sitemap file:

<map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>


You can find some examples on how to do this with cocoon.
It is very powerfull and it isn't very difficult but you might need a book
or a good reference to do some nice things with it.
