The Formatting Objects Processor ( FOP for short ) is a free Java application from the Apache Software Foundation that creates various output formats from XSL-FO layout descriptions. FOP was originally developed by James Tauber, who gave FOP to the Apache Software Foundation in 1999.
FOP primarily supports output as PDF . Other output formats are Java2D / AWT , AFP , PCL , MIF , PS , RTF , TIFF , PNG , SVG and TXT . Immediate output on a connected printer and XML output of the internal structure tree are also possible.
In addition to Batik, FOP is part of the Apache XML Graphics project .
restrictions
Many of the new features introduced with XSL-FO 1.1 such as table markers, indices, text flow mappings (flow map) are not implemented in FOP. Some features of XSL-FO, such as the automatic layout of tables and elements outside the normal text flow (floats), are also not or only partially supported.
