XML to AFP


Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to produce AFP (IBM's Advanced Function Presentation) file
from XML.
I know that there is commercial products like DI Pager. I also can produce PDF
or PostScript file and then convert it to AFP format.
But may be  somebody knows a simpler way.

Thank you in advance,

Igor

A small group at UBS has once worked on an AFP renderer for FOP but the
project got halted as far as I know and they didn't want to publish the
code they've done. So, a way to go (even if it's not a simple one right
now) would be to write an AFP renderer for FOP.

You could also ask IBM what they have done in the PPML
(http://www.podi.org/standards/ppml) corner. Maybe there's a possibility.
