  This article shows your how to get started with FOP. The primary advantage of FOP is its ability to convert XML data into reports in the PDF format, using a formatting tree. Most of the examples we'll cover will concentrate on this particular conversion, but we will also cover converting XML data to the Java AWT format.

• Printing from XML: An Introduction to XSL-FO by Dave Pawson   - [Clicks: 58]

I'll introduce the most straightforward of page layouts for XSL-FO, using as few of the elements needed as I can to obtain reasonable output.
