Plugin Usage How do I use the PDF Plugin ?
  • Firstly you must call the maven target site to generate all the xdocs files and the image ressources.
  • Then you can call the pdf target to generate the pdf documentation for your project.
 Which types of images can I use in my documents ?

You can use images types that FOP can use.

The table below summarizes the theoretical support for graphical formats within FOP.

Format Type Support Thru
BMP (Microsoft Windows Bitmap) bitmap FOP native
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) metafile (both bitmap and vector), probably most frequently used for vector drawings FOP native (limited support, see restrictions below)
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) bitmap FOP native
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) bitmap FOP native
PNG (Portable Network Graphic) bitmap JIMI or JAI
SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) vector (with embedded bitmaps) Batik
TIFF (Tag Image Format File) bitmap FOP native or JAI, depending on the subformat. See TIFF for more details.(JIMI also supports TIFF, but this has not been implemented within FOP).
