XSL-FO to PDF renderer written in managed C# code for the .NET framework
XSL-FO is similar to HTML in that it allows documents to be created in a mark-up language. The fundamental difference between the two is that XSL-FO is intended for creating paged, printable documents, whilst HTML is more suited to on-screen documents.
FO.NET processes XML documents that conform to the XSL-FO specification and produces Adobe PDF documents. Typically an XSLT style sheet is used to transform raw XML data into XSL-FO.
FO.NET has been written for the Microsoft .NET Framework and is suitable for use from any .NET compatible language such as C#, VB.NET or F#.
- Developed in 100% managed C# code
- Supports TrueType and TrueType flavoured OpenType fonts
- Font embedding for highly portable documents
- Font subsetting to ensure PDF document sizes are kept to a minimum
- PDF compression to further reduce PDF document sizes
- PDF encryption and protection mechanisms
- Single assembly for simple integration with any .NET project
