We successfully use a combination of http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ and http://www.re.be/css2xslfo/older_releases.xhtml
to produce very nice looking print optimized pdfs with embedded svg graph charts. You get all the stuff you'd expect for print, like pagebreaks, tocs, chapters, sections and son on, and all you need to do is render html, and apply a special css stylesheet via css2fop. it's very easy to setup, and there is a pretty decent manual for the possible styles. cheers snusnu On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 13:27, Richard Livsey <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 21:56, Nicholas Orr <[email protected]> wrote: >> Thanks Chris. >> My searching on the topic wasn't turning much up, glad you posted. >> The Prince tool is pretty expensive.
