[edit] Current Status
The stable version of Apache FOP is 0.20.5. Since then, the code base has undergone a substantial rewrite. The current, as of May 25, 2006, is the 0.92 beta. It is far more standards compliant with the XSL-FO specification, but has some bugs and restrictions with regard to output format.
[edit] Input Support
Apache FOP supports embedding a number of image formats in the XSL-FO (through the <fo:external-graphic> element). These include:
- SVG
- Bitmap BMP
- PostScript (as EPS)
- JPEG
- Some TIFF formats.
[edit] Output Formats
Apache FOP supports the following output formats:
- Direct printer output
- PDF (best output support)
- PostScript
Other output format support may exist, but is spotty for the 0.92 beta.
