- 1. About the program
-
- XEP converts XSL Formatting Objects documents into Adobe PDF or
- PostScript format. The program is written in Java and requires a Java
- Virtual Machine. Sun JRE or JDK version 1.3 or later is recommended
- for best performance.
-
- XEP also runs under JDK/JRE 1.1.8, or Microsoft Java VM version 5.00
- or higher. The performance will not be as good as with the latest
- versions of Java VM. The software will not run on elder Java machines.
-
-
- 2. Installation
-
- A. Ensure you have a Java VM installed. If you have multiple VMs
- on your computer, pick one of them. The installation wizard
- configures XEP to run on the same Java VM that was used for
- setup; you can change this later.
-
- B. Run the setup from the jar file, using a Java VM of your choice.
- If your Java VM supports Java 2 (JDK/JRE 1.2 or higher), you can
- run the jar by typing the following command on the prompt:
-
- java -jar setup331_trial.jar
-
- Alternatively, for Java machines that don't support executable
- jar files, you can call Setup class from the jar, using standard
- invocation methods. E.g. for Microsoft Java, the syntax will be
- as follows:
-
- jview /cp setup331_trial.jar Setup
-
- The system will first display the license agreement for this
- edition of XEP; please read it carefully. You should accept it
- in order to proceed. Once you press the "Yes, I accept" button,
- you agree to be bound by the terms of this license agreement.
-
- After that, you will be prompted for the target directory name.
- Type the path in the edit box, or choose a directory by pressing
- "Browse" button. On systems with no Swing support, the browse
- button will not be displayed: you have to type the path manually.
-
- The system copies all files to the specified location and sets
- up necessary configuration files.
-
- C. Activate your copy of the software by placing the license file
- (license.txt) into etc/ subdirectory of your installation.
- license.txt should have been sent to you when you downloaded XEP.
-
- After activation, your XEP copy is ready to use. Please refer to the
- PDF documentation, contained in the doc/ subdirectory of the target
- installation directory:
-
- - userguide.pdf XEP User Guide
- - spec.pdf specification of XSL support level
- - tutorial.pdf a brief introduction into XSL FO
-
-
- 3. Deinstallation
-
- The program places all its files into the target directory, and does
- not modify any system settings. To deinstall it, simply remove the
- installation directory with all its contents.
-
-
- 4. Limitations of the Trial Edition
-
- This edition of XEP is intended as a means for interested users to
- access the formatting quality and the performance offered by XEP. It
- has the following limitations with repect to the full version:
-
- - Every page contains a label "XSL-FO/RenderX" in the lower left
- corner, hyperlinked to the XSL home page at W3C and to the RenderX
- website at http://www.renderx.com.
-
- - Starting from page 11, all odd pages are printed blank. They still
- undergo the full formatting cycle, so this edition can be reliably
- used to measure performance and memory footprint.
-
- - Only PDF output is supported (no PostScript).
-
-
- 5. Support

- guarantee a fixed response time for your questions. You are invited
