Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Making PDFs in Windows
Hi We’re transforming
docbook documents to FO using the .NET library classes “XmlReader”
and “XslCompiledTransform” in the namespace “System.Xml”
and “System.Xml.Xsl”. The resulting formatting objects are then
processed to PDF by the commercial IBEX product. We used to call FOP before but
we had to drop that because of the java dependency. The open source processors
that we evualuated (besides FOP) were all not fit enough for production
releases – therefore the dependency on the commercial product. Cheers, Dominik From: Paul Tremblay [mailto:paulhtremblay@gmail.com] I have used both cygwin and mingw. I prefer mingw
because cygwin has so many bugs, and in fact the latest version does not work
with the FOP bash script. However, as others pointed out, you can generate PDF
from the windows shell. I prefer not to use the Windows shell because it has so
many limitation compared to a unix-like shell. Its not necessary to use Cygwin or
MinGW. I use a batch file that calls XSLTPROC and FOP to
generate PDFs under Windows. Check our Bob Stayton's book for more info. Regards, Dean Nelson In a message dated 4/18/2012 6:51:52 A.M. Pacific
