NAME
fop - Command line wrapper for the java version of fop.
DESCRIPTION
Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting
objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads
a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output.
Output formats currently supported include PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree
representation), Print, AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and TXT. The primary
output target is PDF.
SYNOPSIS
fop [options] [-fo|-xml] infile [-xsl file]
[-awt|-pdf|-mif|-rtf|-tiff|-png|-pcl|-ps|-txt|-at [mime]|-print] <outfile>
OPTIONS
-version
print FOP version and exit
-d debug mode
-x dump configuration settings
-q quiet mode
-c cfg.xml
use additional configuration file cfg.xml
-l lang
the language to use for user information
-nocs disable complex script features
-r relaxed/less strict validation (where available)
-dpi xxx
target resolution in dots per inch (dpi) where xxx is a number
-s for area tree XML, down to block areas only
-v run in verbose mode (currently simply print FOP version and continue)
-o [password]
PDF file will be encrypted with option owner password
-u [password]
PDF file will be encrypted with option user password
-noprint
PDF file will be encrypted without printing permission
-nocopy
PDF file will be encrypted without copy content permission
-noedit
PDF file will be encrypted without edit content permission
-noannotations
PDF file will be encrypted without edit annotation permission
-nofillinforms
PDF file will be encrypted without fill in interactive form fields permission
-noaccesscontent
PDF file will be encrypted without extract text and graphics permission
-noassembledoc
PDF file will be encrypted without assemble the document permission
-noprinthq
PDF file will be encrypted without print high quality permission
-a enables accessibility features (Tagged PDF etc., default off)
-pdfprofile prof
PDF file will be generated with the specified profile (Examples for prof: PDF/A-1b
or PDF/X-3:2003)
-conserve
enable memory-conservation policy (trades memory-consumption for disk I/O) (Note:
currently only influences whether the area tree is serialized.)
-cache specifies a file/directory path location for the font cache file
-flush flushes the current font cache file
INPUT
infile xsl:fo input file (the same as the next) (use '-' for infile to pipe input from
stdin)
-fo infile xsl:fo input file
-xml infile
xml input file, must be used together with -xsl
-atin infile
area tree input file
-ifin infile
intermediate format input file
-imagein infile
image input file (piping through stdin not supported)
-xsl stylesheet
xslt stylesheet
-param name value <value> to use for parameter <name> in xslt stylesheet
(repeat '-param name value' for each parameter)
-catalog
use catalog resolver for input XML and XSLT files
OUTPUT
outfile
input will be rendered as PDF into outfile (use '-' for outfile to pipe output to
stdout)
-pdf outfile
input will be rendered as PDF (outfile req'd)
-pdfa1b outfile
input will be rendered as PDF/A-1b compliant PDF (outfile req'd, same as "-pdf
outfile -pdfprofile PDF/A-1b")
-awt input will be displayed on screen
-rtf outfile
input will be rendered as RTF (outfile req'd)
-pcl outfile
input will be rendered as PCL (outfile req'd)
-ps outfile
input will be rendered as PostScript (outfile req'd)
-afp outfile
input will be rendered as AFP (outfile req'd)
-tiff outfile
input will be rendered as TIFF (outfile req'd)
-png outfile
input will be rendered as PNG (outfile req'd)
-txt outfile
input will be rendered as plain text (outfile req'd)
-at [mime] out
representation of area tree as XML (outfile req'd) specify optional mime output to
allow the AT to be converted to final format later
-if [mime] out
representation of document in intermediate format XML (outfile req'd) specify
optional mime output to allow the IF to be converted to final format later
-print input file will be rendered and sent to the printer see options with "-print help"
-out mime outfile input will be rendered using the given MIME type
(outfile req'd) Example: "-out application/pdf D:\out.pdf" (Tip: "-out list" prints
the list of supported MIME types and exits)
-svg outfile
input will be rendered as an SVG slides file (outfile req'd) Experimental feature -
requires additional fop-sandbox.jar.
-foout outfile
input will only be XSL transformed. The intermediate XSL-FO file is saved and no
rendering is performed. (Only available if you use -xml and -xsl parameters)
EXAMPLES
fop foo.fo foo.pdf
fop -fo foo.fo -pdf foo.pdf (does the same as the previous line)
fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -pdf foo.pdf
fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -foout foo.fo
fop -xml - -xsl foo.xsl -pdf -
fop foo.fo -mif foo.mif
fop foo.fo -rtf foo.rtf
fop foo.fo -print
fop foo.fo -awt
FOP Version 1.1
HYPENATION
fop can make use of external hyphenation rules that can be supplied in the form of a
hyphenation jar. You can find such a one at http://offo.sourceforge.net/.
To actually use that, set the FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH environment variable to the full path
of this file, or use configuration files, see below.
CONFIGURATION FILES
fop reads two configuration files on startup: /etc/fop.conf and $HOME/.foprc. These are
plain shell script files where you can define for instance the FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH
variable.
Another way to extend is conf.d/ files. Simply add a configuration file into
/etc/fop.conf.d/my.conf.
JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE
This program is a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). You therefore benefit
from several features; please see the java-wrappers(7) manual page for more information
about them.
