Required PDF for STEP Modules Ballot

[David Price]

Folks,

Based on the comments/discussion seens so far I will relay the message that
the PDF generation process they are using appears sufficient for the
purposes of the HTML PDM modules suite ballot.

There are bigger issues here I know, but the immediate questions from the
AM team seems to have been answered. Thanks!

We are looking at an architecture for the modules repository where the
modules are in XML, then XSLT is used to generate HTML and probably PDF (or
more accurately formatting objects and then PDF from that). If you want to
see some examples of this kind of thing look at DocBook at
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ and related stylesheets at
http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xsl/  and an FO processor at
http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html which are tools I've been playing
with.
