NAME
       fop - Command line wrapper for the java version of fop.

DESCRIPTION
       Apache  FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent format-
       ter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output.  Output  for-
       mats  currently	supported  include  PDF, PS, PCL, AFP, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT and PNG, and to a lesser extent, RTF and
       TXT. The primary output target is PDF.

       -conserve
	      Enable memory-conservation policy (trades memory-consumption for disk I/O) (Note: currently only influences whether the area tree is
	      serialized.)

INPUT
       infile xsl:fo input file (the same as the next) (use '-' for infile to pipe input from stdin)

       -fo    infile	   xsl:fo input file

       -xml infile
	      xml input file, must be used together with -xsl

       -atin infile
	      area tree input file

       -ifin infile
	      intermediate format input file

       -imagein infile
	      image input file (piping through stdin not supported)

       -xsl stylesheet
	      xslt stylesheet

       -param name value <value> to use for parameter <name> in xslt stylesheet
	      (repeat '-param name value' for each parameter)

       -catalog
	      use catalog resolver for input XML and XSLT files

OUTPUT
       outfile
	      input will be rendered as PDF into outfile (use '-' for outfile to pipe output to stdout)

       -pdf outfile
	      input will be rendered as PDF (outfile req'd)

       -pdfa1b outfile
	      input will be rendered as PDF/A-1b compliant PDF (outfile req'd, same as "-pdf outfile -pdfprofile PDF/A-1b")

       -awt   input will be displayed on screen

       -rtf outfile
	      input will be rendered as RTF (outfile req'd)

       -pcl outfile
	      input will be rendered as PCL (outfile req'd)

       -ps outfile
	      input will be rendered as PostScript (outfile req'd)

       -afp outfile
	      input will be rendered as AFP (outfile req'd)

       -tiff outfile
	      input will be rendered as TIFF (outfile req'd)

       -png outfile
	      input will be rendered as PNG (outfile req'd)

       -txt outfile
	      input will be rendered as plain text (outfile req'd)

       -at [mime] out
	      representation  of  area	tree  as  XML (outfile req'd) specify optional mime output to allow the AT to be converted to final format
	      later

       -if [mime] out
	      representation of document in intermediate format XML (outfile req'd) specify optional mime output to allow the IF to  be  converted
	      to final format later

       -print input file will be rendered and sent to the printer see options with "-print help"

       -out mime outfile input will be rendered using the given MIME type
	      (outfile req'd) Example: "-out application/pdf D:out.pdf" (Tip: "-out list" prints the list of supported MIME types)

       -svg outfile
	      input will be rendered as an SVG slides file (outfile req'd) Experimental feature - requires additional fop-sandbox.jar.

       -foout outfile
	      input will only be XSL transformed. The intermediate XSL-FO file is saved and no rendering is performed.	(Only available if you use
	      -xml and -xsl parameters)

EXAMPLES
	      fop foo.fo foo.pdf

	      fop -fo foo.fo -pdf foo.pdf (does the same as the previous line)

	      fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -pdf foo.pdf

	      fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -foout foo.fo

	      fop -xml - -xsl foo.xsl -pdf -

	      fop foo.fo -mif foo.mif

	      fop foo.fo -rtf foo.rtf

	      fop foo.fo -print

	      fop foo.fo -awt

HYPENATION
       fop can make use of external hyphenation rules that can be supplied in the form	of  a  hyphenation  jar.  You  can  find  such	a  one	at
       http://offo.sourceforge.net/.

       To  actually  use  that,  set  the FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH environment variable to the full path of this file, or use configuration files, see
       below.

CONFIGURATION FILES
       fop reads two configuration files on startup: /etc/fop.conf and $HOME/.foprc. These are plain shell script files where you can  define  for
       instance the FOP_HYPHENATION_PATH variable.

JAVA-WRAPPERS NOTE
       This  program  is  a shell script wrapper based on java-wrappers(7). You therefore benefit from several features; please see the java-wrap-
       pers(7) manual page for more information about them.
