Requirements

  • Fairly new Java Runtime (1.5+)

  • Apache FOP (at least version 0.95, trunk is recommended)

  • Saxon for XSLT2

  • Hyphenation is done via FOP, so read a section on it in their docs.

  • Some unicode-capable font, like DejaVu.

Configuration

  1. Compile FOP if needed.
  2. Generate font metrics (refer to FOP Documentation on that)
  3. Make a "fop-config.xml" out of the supplied example and place it in this directory.

Running

With Jython:

jython wl2pdf <list_of_files_to_convert>

With Java:

java org.lqsoft.wlml.WL2PDF <path_to_config> <file_to_convert>

Rember to place FOP, it's libraries and Saxon under your classpath.
