XML/HTML + CSS = PDF
Our PDF solutions are based on the CSS Paged Media approach (popularly called "PrintCSS").
Structured contents such as XML or semi-structured contents from
HTML content serves as the basis for the conversion. For the definition of
design and layout, we use CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) as we know them from website
familiar from website programming. The CSS Paged Media Standard
extends CSS with instructions that are specific to print layouts, e.g.
the type area, multiple columns, left/right pages, recurring text in the header or footer
text in the header or footer, etc. The advantage of our approach is that
existing content can be reused directly. The creation of
print layouts can be easily learned with basic knowledge of CSS.
