Hewlett-Packard (HP), the worldwide leader in technology, computing and print devices, has selected RenderX software to provide customers a creative way to design and print customized stationery for both home and business applications. The new solution employs a rich Macromedia Flash functionality, coupled with the powerful XML to PDF capability of XEP, to enable end users to dynamically design and print greeting cards, CD covers, calendars and t-shirts, in just a few simple steps. There were several key challenges for the design of the application, including ease-of-use, support of industry standards and availability to a wide International audience. HP chose Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as the template description language, due to the similarity of its layout model to that which is native to Flash. XSL FO (XSLFO) was chosen as the standard for representing the overall print product. This application has been localized in eleven different languages and can be used by home and business offices as a fun and beneficial use of HP printers. |
