XSL:FO Processor for Generating PDFs

The XSL-FO Processor, Apache FOP, makes it possible to generate a PDF file derived from a site's published pages. The XSL-FO server is separate from the CMS and DSS and must be installed and configured independently. Please contact support to obtain the installation executable.
To generate PDFs:
  1. Navigate to Administration > System Options > CMS > Publishing > XSL:FO Processor for Generating PDFs.
