Here is some code. If you need some help with submissions and/or xsl-fo, my services are not expensive.

Hope this helps.

<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline"
xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors">

<p:param name="instance" type="input"/>

<p:processor name="oxf:xslt">
  <p:input name="data" href="#instance"/>
  <p:input name="config" href="finalCC.xsl"/>
  <p:output name="data" id="pdf"/>
</p:processor>

<p:processor name="oxf:xslfo-converter">
        <p:input name="config">
            <config/>
        </p:input>
        <p:input name="data" href="#pdf"/>
        <p:output name="data" id="converted"/>
    </p:processor>

<p:processor name="oxf:http-serializer">
                <p:input name="config">
                    <config>
                        <header>
                            <name>Cache-Control</name>
                            <value>post-check=0, pre-check=0</value>
                        </header>
                        <header>
                            <name>Content-Disposition</name>
                            <value>attachment; filename=document.pdf</value>
                        </header>
                        
                    </config>
                </p:input>
                <p:input name="data" href="#converted"/>
            </p:processor>

</p:config>

Brian,

I've got 150 forms that need to be printed WYSIWYG (with current
instance data) (and the forms change on a regular basis) so I would like
a more generalized pdf print function that works like the one in form
runner (my forms don't/will not be made to run in form runner). However,
could you send me an example of your xpl that "calls two processors -
xsl and fop. I will take a look at it and try things that way on a
couple of forms to see if there if there might be a way to make a
generalization.

Thanks.

Martin

Martin,

Any success? I print PDF files using FOP and xpl/xslt (not within Form
Runner).

Basically click print button which calls submission. Submission sends
instance data to xpl (page-flow.xml file). The xpl calls two processors
- xsl and fop. PDF is generated. You have to be able to create an
xsl-fo document to do this.

Hope that gives you another alternative.
