Help Needed in XSL:FO

Hi

I am using XSL:FO to render PDF documents from XML File.

Now i have a requirement where i have to exactly replicate a PDf file for which i dont have the XSL:FO.

I had given them a version using my XSL:FO that is close but they want 100%.

They are looking for 100% replication, I am a fresher in this arena of XSL:FO and i am not confident if i would be able to replicate it to 100%.

Could somebody give me some ideas as to how it can be done.

Thanks in Advance.

Rakesh Kumar

Don't forget you can also include single page PDFs via

This will ensure the input PDF appears exactly as required in the 
output. If the PDF in question is multi-page then you can break it up 
into multiple pages ahead of time using iText.

Ok... we can make some suggestions if you point out exactly what happens 
in the original and what happens in your version.

And preferibly, provide the part of the sources (feel free to use xxxxxx 
to replace the content) of your version.

This way, loads of people can provide you with help... without being 
specific... it's hard.

Cheers...
;)

It can't be done; if the target PDF exhibits features
that fop (or xsl-fo) doesn't support, you're dead in the water.

e.g. a PDF from a specialist GIS package.
