RenderX provides all the tools necessary from pre-built applications to integration kits to solve your business needs of getting your XML content into high-quality printable format.

XEP Engine

XEP Engine is the formatting force behind most other solutions. XEP converts XML documents into a printable form (PDF, PostScript, AFP [Advanced Function Presentation], SVG, HTML) by applying XSL Formatting Objects.

XEPWin Engine

All the power of our flagship XEP Engine in a package suited for Windows-based deployments. XEPWin Engine is a .NET wrapper surrounding XEP Engine and includes several applications for increasing your productivity on the Windows platform.

Integration Kits

RenderX offers various integration kits to assist developers with connecting the XEP Engine on various platforms. All integration kits come with dedicated, world-class support from RenderX engineers to ensure that your implementation is successful.

Connectivity Kit

The Connectivity Kit contains all programmer guides, APIs, pre-built connectors and sample code to plug XEP into wide range of personal and server-side applications. This package is ideal for those who wish to integrate XEP into their application server, database server or business application.

WinSuite

WinSuite is a set of applications, sample code and documentation targeted at .NET programmers. The WinSuite Kit enables XEP engine as a Windows .NET and COM+ Service and registers the application in the assembly cache. This package is ideal for Windows programmers looking to add rendering capabilities to Visual Basic.NET and ASP.NET applications.

EnMasse

EnMasse is an XEP "amplifier" — it controls XEP engines running on multiple computers in parallel. Their joint power is controlled through a single access point, configurable with a web browser. This is the right solution for all high-performance solutions and can easily expand with your business requirements.

DataStyler Beta

DataStyler is an application that uses Microsoft Word 2003/2007 for quick creation of templates for variable data embedding. The application utilizes RenderX XEP to produce final reports in the PDF, PostScript or AFP formats.

DataStyler API Beta

DataStyler API Beta command line utility for data merge and reports generation. This application uses templates created with DataStyler and XML data source files to produce printable reports. It is a 100-percent Java application and can be run on both Windows and Linux/Unix platforms.

XML Report Generator (XMLRG) Beta

XML Report Generator (XMLRG) is a web application that uses templates based on Microsoft Word 2003/2007 for variable data merging from Oracle Database 9i/10g. The application uses RenderX XEP to produce final reports in the PDF, PostScript and AFP formats.

XML Report Generator (XMLRG) API Beta

XML Report Generator (XMLRG) API is a library to design report generating applications with Oracle XML DB backend and XEP rendering functionality. It also can be integrated into the custom solution as a report generator.

Bundled Applications

Docbench

Docbench is an integrated package of <oXygen/> XML editor and RenderX XEP Desktop — both applications in a single install. They are tuned to work together and deliver users a complete authoring environment. This package is ideal for authors of technical documents, manuals and guides as well as a perfect set of applications for the XSL designer.

Visual-XSL (VisualXSL)

For overlaying content on forms, such as checks, claims, applications, or government forms, there is Visual-XSL (VisualXSL) developed by RenderX.

Visual-XSL (VisualXSL) allows to import an existing, single- and multi-page PDF form or a scanned image (PNG, TIFF, JPG, or GIF) and use a simple GUI to drag-and-drop content to be positioned on that form. The application generates an XSL stylesheet based on the designed layout. A user can create an XSL stylesheet visually, quickly, without coding or any XSL-FO (XSLFO) knowledge. The resulting XSL can be used in combination with the server-side XEP for merging millions of records to fill forms.

INX2FO Plug-In Beta for Adobe InDesign

For dynamic, flowing documents such as contracts, statements, loan packages, and marketing materials there is INX2FO Plug-In developed by RenderX. The plug-in can leverage the power of the widely-used Adobe InDesign CS2. The primary purpose of the solution is to provide the ability to generate documents with dynamically embedded data with a few mouse clicks. The plug-in simplifies transformation of Adobe InDesign CS2 documents to PDF or PostScript document formats, using the INX2FO stylesheets and the RenderX XEP/XEPWin engine.

Free Tools

RenderX engineers conduct research, create utilities and just have fun writing useful code. We make the tools and utilities freely available to the users' and developers' community. Licensed for use with XEP and XEPWin.

Microsoft WordprocessingML to XSL FO (XSLFO) Converter

As John Durant reported in his weblog, "WordprocessingML is hot, hot, hot!". These style sheets were prepared by RenderX's development team and Microsoft for general use. They are designed to convert Microsoft's WordprocessingML to XSL FO (XSLFO). Here you will find links to download the style sheets and related components from the Microsoft web site to assist you in your projects involving Word and XSL FO (XSLFO).

Adobe InDesign INX to XSL FO (XSLFO) Converter

RenderX's development team has prepared a set of stylesheets designed to convert Adobe InDesign Interchange (INX) documents to XSL FO (XSLFO). Here you will find link to download the stylesheets.
Adobe InDesign is a general purpose design tool.
The combination InDesign and RenderX XEP, using these stylesheets enables developers to put together a total
solution - an easy-to-use designer with a high-volume, batch formatting engine for high performance merge and print.
You also can download trial version of Adobe InDesign CS2 from the Adobe web site.

XSL FO (XSLFO) to HTML Conversion

XSL Formatting Objects are an XML dialect so you can render them to HTML using an XSLT stylesheet. This free converter is an attempt to do just that. You can download the style sheets along with a copy of the RenderX trial software from the download section.

XSL FO (XSLFO) Validators

This area has XSL FO (XSLFO) schemata and validation tools developed at RenderX. The tools use DTD, XSLT, and Relax NG, many of these were used to validate input in various versions of XEP.

Barcode Generator

These pages include a library of SVG barcode generators developed by the RenderX technical team, including a live demonstration of servlet connector from the Connectivity Kit. These generators are tested to work with the XEP Engine. Barcodes are simple to represent but difficult to generate. These examples use XSLT to implement the computational part and SVG to draw the image. The complete set is freely available to use in your applications.
