Fop is a java application that reads a formatting object tree and then turns it into a wide variety of output presentations (including afp, pcl, pdf, png, postscript, rtf, tiff, and plain text), or displays the result on-screen.

the formatting object tree can be in the form of an xml document (output by an xslt engine like xalan) or can be passed in memory as a dom document or (in the case of xalan) sax events.

this package contains the fop jar file
