Hello Paul Clapham,

This is where I lost track, too. I couldn't understand what the purpose of the intermediate XSL-FO step was. If you need to convert RTF to PDF, why not just convert straight to PDF? Converting to XSL-FO would be like converting your RTF to a Java program that produced a PDF file.
Hello
My application has to generate some reports based on some values dynamically and create these reports in PDF format.
The letters are all in the form of xsl-fo in one of the table columns. which were created by our team manually with the help of MS Word and the plug-in.
Now there is a new requirement where the client will come up with a new letter to be added to the same list. Now this new letter should also be saved in the same column in the form of xsl-fo to be picked up dynamically by our program and create a single pdf file along with the other previously generating files.
The clients want me to create a maintenance page in
JSP to store the new letter in the same table column. Therefore I now have to just convert this RTF or DOC file in to a xsl-fo and save in the table column under the old list of records just by a click of a button.
Hope this makes easy to understand the work around.
Please let me know your thoughts about my requirement. I need to solve this issue at a high priority. Please do help me out.
Thank you,
Rajan S
