I'm having a bit of trouble with the whole XHTML to FO(or xsl).

Can you please tell me how to transform the XHTML to FO?

Or maybe a different approapch to the whole HTML to PDF?

Well you could use a HTML to PDF converter via shell, I am sorry I can not rememeber the name of the one I have used in the past, if you have a Google around, you should be able to find a good one.

Searched a lot for my personal stack app project SO2PDF and finally settled with wkhtmltopdf which so far is the best free tool to convert HTML to PDF. Yes I used it with c# ;-)

Here is the different approach. We are going to convert HTML/XML to PDF directly with 3d party tool (it has multiple preference and settings of conversion and doesn't require any external libraries).

1) Download free HTML to PDF SDK from her (it is easy PDF SDK)

2) Use the following code or run Action Center to customize the conversion

using BCL.easyPDF.Printer; namespace TestPrinter < class Program < static void Main(string[] args) < if(args.Length != 2) return; string inputFileName = args[0]; string outputFileName = args[1]; Printer printer = new Printer(); try < IEPrintJob printjob = printer.IEPrintJob; printjob.PrintOut(inputFileName, outputFileName); >catch(PrinterException ex) < System.Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); >finally < printer.Dispose(); >> > >
