  • 1.  FOP vs Saxon?

    Posted 06-26-2007 15:50
    Hello,

    I'm using docbook5 and FOP 0.93 to generate PDF. I was wondering what the
    differences between Saxon and FOP is and if Saxon will generate better
    PDF's?

    Any help is appreciated. Also, any ETA on docbook5-xsl 1.72.1? I see there
    are a few fixes in there.

    Thanks,
    Josh

    Er... isn't Saxon an XSLT processor?

    I know there are multiple versions of Saxon, so maybe I'm missing something,
    but I do believe these two applications are for different purposes.
