using FOP to convert RTF to FO
hello, I currently use FOP 0.95 and I would like to know if it's possible to
convert RTF to FO with pictures ?
I found two tools that can do the job but they aren't free:
http://www.rtf-to-xml.com/ <http://www.rtf-to-xml.com/>
http://rtf2fo.com/index.html <http://rtf2fo.com/index.html>
please can you help me ?
regards,
Sareth

Hi Sareth,
I tell me why you must use RTF as format? Is it possible for you to use
.doc or .docx format. With this format you can benefit with docx4j or
Apache POI project.
docx4j provides utilities to merge several docx and convert it to PDF with
FOP.
Apache POI provides doc 2 PDF converter with FOP. It exists too a docx 2
PDF converter based on iText and Apache POI.
I think if you use docx format you will benefit with a lot of features
(with docx4j or Apache POI).

Hi Sareth,
Are you sure you want to convert the RTF to DocBook, then to FO, then to
PDF? To me, this would make sense only if you're planning to make
changes to the combined file later on.
If this is supposed to be a one-time conversion with no future edits of
the docs, however, I'd suggest to open all the RTF in Libre Office (or
any other office suite), make the necessary edits in Libre Office, and
export the RTF to PDF with the built-in converter.
Cheers,
Stefan

Re: using FOP to convert RTF to FO

Another solution would be to use LibreOffice/OpenOffice via
JODConverter to convert binary .doc or rtf to docx, and then use
docx4j or POI.
That way, you avoid the need for MS Word at run-time.

Re: using FOP to convert RTF to FO
Posted by sareth <gw...@hotmail.com>.
hello everyone, thank you very much for your replies !
I need produced FO file in order to modify it and to include it in another
FO file, dynamically.
I'm restricted to RTF format. You're right, I already merged some docx file
with docx4j and it's really a very good tool.
I found a solution:
I convert RTF file in DOC with MSWord through Jacob, then I use Apache POI
3.9 to convert DOC to FO, by overriding picture manager method in order to
create and extract them in a subfolder and to insert "fo:external-graphic"
in FO resulting file.
I tested it, and it worked (but pictures size have to be reworked in FO
code)
thank you again
with regards,
Sareth

Posted by Maruan Sahyoun <sa...@fileaffairs.de>.
Hi Sareth,
OpenOffice can also be automated to convert RTF unattended to PDF which can then be embedded into a FO document using FOP external graphics. If you need to make changes to the RTF you could also convert RTF to doc using OpenOffice and process the doc files. As was pointed out in a reply there are solutions using doc as a basis. There is also a download from Microsoft to convert WordprocessingML to XSL:FO. Using OpenOffice you could also convert to HTML and convert that to XSL:FO e.g. by using HTML2FO …
Kind regards
Maruan Sahyoun
Re: using FOP to convert RTF to FO
Posted by sareth <gw...@hotmail.com>.
Hello, in fact, I would like to convert any RTF file (with embedded pictures
for example) in FO file, then take them and merge them into one FO, then
rework FO to add some text for example, and print it into PDF through FOP.
Do you know any other free way to do this please ? I currently look at
iText, but nothing until now...
thanks for your help
regards,
Sareth

Hi,
FOP doesn't provide such feature, whatever the version.
Just for curiosity: what do you aim to do with resulting fo?
