XSL-FO to PDF Services

PdfBroker.io provides two XSL-FO functions for generating PDF documents from XSL-FO markup. XSL-FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects) is a W3C standard for describing the formatting of XML data for output to screen, paper, or other media.

XSL-FO Request

Build your complete XSL-FO document in your software and submit it to the API to generate a PDF. This is the direct approach where you provide a fully formatted XSL-FO document.

XSL-FO Transform Request

Provide an XSL-FO document formatted as XSLT along with an XML data document. The service applies the transformation and generates the resulting PDF. This approach separates data from presentation.
