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.
