MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / February 2005Enhance Infopath to create XSL-FO
I have an application that I developing for my company which will utilize Infopath forms for data entry. Completed forms (xml) will be submitted to the web server and inserted into database tables. I am planning on using the XSL file (stylesheet) within the XSN file to process an XSL Transformation on the web to display the data in a read-only fashion for users that do not have Infopath. Additionally, I have been asked to create a PDF document representing the completed form. I've been searching for a product that will tranform the XSL files from the Infopath form to PDF without any luck. I think if Infopath was enhanced to create the XSL-FO stylesheet many more people would use the product. It is so simple 1- Use .NET to transform the xsl to HTML (5 lines of code max.) 2- Install adobe acrobat writer in the computer. 3- Use .Net to print the html to the acrobat printer 4- Capture all the new pdf files created from the virtual printer, using .NET file system watcher, and send them by email to anywhere you want. > I have an application that I developing for my company which will > utilize Infopath forms for data entry.

I know how to do the xsl transformation to HTML with no problem in .NET. What I want to do is to create the PDF file on the server programatically. The only way to do this that I know of is to use XSL-FO (formatting objects) to create the PDF. Does anyone know if there is a converter from XSL (for HTML) to XSL-FO? thanks in advance. > It is so simple > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Infopath was enhanced to create the XSL-FO stylesheet many more people > > would use the product.
