| Some of the problems solved by XMLmind XSL-FO
Converter More comfort for your users: your application, Web site,
CMS, etc, already automatically generates a number of documents (reports,
newsletters, white papers, etc) in PDF format. Some of your users may prefer
to obtain these documents in an office automation format. Good reasons for
that are:
- They are more at ease with their favorite word processor than with
Adobe® Acrobat® Reader.
- They need to review and annotate the document.
Simple pre-filled forms: your application needs to
automatically generate forms where some of the fields are already filled
(e.g. order forms). Generating these forms in an office automation format
means that your customers will be able to use their favorite word processor
to fill the forms. Using a word processor also makes it easy to print the
form and send it by fax or e-mail.
Semi-automatic reports:
by automatically generating letters or reports, your application does most
of the work and saves you a great deal of time and money. However, from time
to time, it may happen that a letter needs to be customized or a report
needs to be reworked. In such case, the person in charge of editing the
document will probably want to use her/his favorite word
processor.
Interchange with the rest of the world: as a technical
writer, you prefer to use a structured format (DocBook, DITA,
etc) for your documents. This may be a problem in some situations:
- The reviewers of your work want to use a word processor.
- You are expected to deliver your work in a major office automation
format.
