Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

XDocReport provides sereveral PDF converter (docx->PDF an dodt->PDF) based on 
itext and wish gives those converter to Apache Fondation. But for license 
reason, itext cannot be accepted by Apache.

http://pdfbox.apache.org/ could be used. I have posted a question on PDFBox 
forum at

After studying PDFBox and having a lot of discussion with a FOP developer, we 
decided to use FOP (BUT not with XML- FO)instead of PDFBox. FOP provides the 
capability to generate PDF with Java code only. The only thing to manage is the 
layout. We decided to create new projects about that (develop an API with FOP 
like iText with Paragrpah, Document structure) and develop converter by using 
this new FOP API DOM-like.

Sample with FOP with Just Java 
:http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embe
dding/ExampleJava2D2PDF.java?view=markup

Use this sample (where x and y are setted) by managing layout to develop 
project like DOM-like than iText.

I close this issue because it's a too big task and PDFBox/FOP seems not 
interested by this topic.
