Highlights
High speed
V3 is the fastest XSL formatting software available and is significantly
faster then XSL Formatter V2. In batch mode V3 can start to produce PDF
output immediately from the inputted XSL-FO file.
Format virtually any size document
With the release of V3 Antenna House Formatter can now format a document of
virtually any size whether it is a publication, tens of thousands of invoices,
reports or personalized one to one documents. This overcomes the V2 limitation
of approximately 4,000 pages in a single document.
PDF output on a server with PDF direct creation module
PDF output is a standard function of V3.2. An unlimited number of users can
now convert XML to PDF on a web server by utilizing our PDF direct creation
engine. Antenna House has added numerous extensions to provide for document
information in the PDF, security, hi-level links, PDF output into multi
separate volume and many other functions.
Integration Interface
Antenna House provides Command line interface, .NET interface, COM interface,
Java interface and C++/C interface. The various interfaces make for easy system
integration of Formatter with web applications, content management systems,
and other software products.
The .NET interface and the COM interface are available for Windows only.
Direct Printer output
In Windows version, it's possible to output the formatted result directly to
the printer without passing through PDF. It's also possible to get the formatted
result and print it immediately by using GUI.
Table Auto Layout
XSL Formatter V3 supports table-layout="auto." in the XSL-FO specification, which
is not supported by many of the formatting software. This function arranges the
table layout suitably without specifying the width of a cell. It's suitable for
almost all tables which do not require the strict value of the width, and is very
convenient. When the formatting speed poses a problem, please specify table-layout="fixed"
instead and specify fixed width in all cells.
High quality PDF for SVG, MathML, EMF and WMF
Vector information for SVG, MathML, EMF and WMF is retained in PDF, thus enhancing
the quality of output images and meeting the increasing demand for delivery of
vectors in the output.
V3.2 makes it possible to draw high-resolution MathML in PDF by using XSL
Formatter MathML Option.
Possible to get the .NET native parser output
With the .NET Interface when XSL-FO is generated from XML and XSL using an XSLT
processor that transformation can now be passed directly and seamlessly to Formatter
without passing it through a temporary file first.
The .NET and the COM interfaces can now also get the DOM directly without
passing through a temporary file. This has the effect of slightly improving
performance.
Multilingual Language
V3.2 supports almost any language which is supported by Unicode including Latin,
Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese (Hiragana and Katakana), Simplified Chinese, Traditional
Chinese, Hangul, Arabic, Hebrew and Thai. It offers the abilities to write in vertical
mode, to run the text from right to left as in Arabic and Hebrew and also to create
multilingual documents with language mixtures on the same page and even on the same line.
Possible to hyphenate over 40 or more languages
Multilingual support is further enhanced with the add-on XSL Formatter Hyphenation
Option. The Hyphenation Option integrates the very powerful hyphenation algorithms
from Computer Hyphenation Ltd., which enhances the quality of hyphenation and greatly
simplifies setting up Formatter to hyphenate over 40 different languages.
