Vincent Massol commented on DOXIA-53:
-------------------------------------
Vincent, since iText XML generation has been discontinued (I see the XmlToPdf
class doesn't exist anymore in iText's SVN trunk) do you have any plan to
rewrite the ITex Doxia module? For example by writing a PDFSink that directly
generate PDF elements?
I'm asking since at XWiki we're using Doxia (and WikiModel) and I'd like to
find a good solution for PDF generation (also need RTF).
Thanks

> Pdf and Rtf support with the iText framework
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DOXIA-53
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-53
> Project: Maven Doxia
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Vincent Siveton
> Assignee: Vincent Siveton
> Fix For: 1.0-alpha-9
>
> Attachments: doxia_itext.zip, generated-doc.zip, itext_plugin.zip
>
>
> Propose a Pdf/Rtf support with the iText framework for Doxia.
> Here is the architecture:
> - added an itext module in doxia-modules
> - created a doxia-doc-renderer (similar to doxia-site-renderer)
> - created an iText plugin for maven
> The iText module generates iText XML files. So, documents should be generated
> in Pdf or Rtf format (supported by iText).
> You could see the howto in the plugin for more information or try the project
> tests.
> According MPIR-17, we could be more generic by defining a new generated XML
> Doxia (I mean another DoxiaSink) and apply XSLT to generate other formats
> (like javahelp)
> Known limitations:
> - known limitations from the iText framework like roman list
> - i18n for the "table of contents" title
> - reports are not supported
> - Renderer for Fml and Xdoc format should be improved. Parsers suppose that
> the renderer is HTML.
> Attachments are:
> - doxia zip with diff (containing doxia-doc-renderer and doxia-module-itext)
> and resources
> - itext plugin zip with diff and resources
> - a zip containing generated documents for the site project (real examples)
