such as display, generation or manipulation.

APACHE FOP

===



Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by
XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter. It is
a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the
resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported
include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT and
PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF.

XML GRAPHICS COMMONS

====================



Apache XML Graphics Commons is a library that consists of several reusable
components used by Apache Batik and Apache FOP. Many of these components
can easily be used separately outside the domains of SVG and XSL-FO. You
will find components such as a PDF library, an RTF library, Graphics2D
implementations that let you generate PDF & PostScript files, and much more.
