Jason -----Original Message----- From: chris@netstyle.ch [mailto:chris@netstyle.ch] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 6:34 AM To: fop-user@xml.apache.org Subject: Server-side printing with FOP Dear users We just integrated FOP as a genius tool to generate PDF on the fly in our webapplication. Our client is satisfied but we would like to offer them the possibility to print the documents directly in our hosting center (server-side). Problems: 1) Automating the printing of PDF Files using Acrobat (Reader) using OLE or DDE Automation is possible but not legal. 2) PostScript would be the alternative but PSRenderer does not support Font Embedding AFAIK. Font Embeeding is needed by our application to show some special Unicode characters. Questions: 1) Does PSRenderer (or another renderer) support font embedding now? 2) Do you know another solution to print an xsl:fo File using another format directly to a Printer (PS Driver)? 3) Or is there a legal way to print a PDF File on the server (means without using any Adobe Software)? Thank you in advance for any hints! Regards, Chris Wysseier netstyle.ch GmbH
