Question

My task is this,

If the user attaches a file(image or pdf or docx(word 2007 format))

it saves it in the DB.

-> succeded this module.

After that, if the user press save button, it has to save it to a pdf file.

I googled how to display images

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
                <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
                    <fo:block text-align="center">
                        <fo:external-graphic src="C:\Users\spark\Desktop\ui.png" />
                    </fo:block>

                </fo:flow>

</fo:page-sequence>

but i don’t have any clue how to display other formats…pdf and docx…

Can you suggest me a way?

Answer 1

Apache FOP has an extension that may be helpful which adds the <fox:external-document> tag which supports embedding PDFs. Documents can be embedded at the page-sequence level.

<fo:page-sequence ...>
...
</fo:page-sequence>
<fox:external-document src="C:\Path\to\PDF\myDoc.pdf" />
...
