RenderX Releases VisualXSL 1.5

By DE Editors

RenderX (Palo Alto, CA) released Visual-XSL (VisualXSL), software useful for simplifying visual design of printable layouts that populate form-like documents with data.

A PDF file or a raster image, such as a scan of a preprinted form, can be used as a layout's background. The resulting XSL stylesheet that merges the layout and the XML data to produce XSL-FO (XSLFO) can be used for creation of PDF or PostScript files using the RenderX XEP/XEPWin rendering engine. The resulting printable output may contain the imported background, or the background may be omitted for print on preprinted forms. The separation of the document into the static content and variable data delivers a significant boost in rendering productivity compared to the traditional rendering approach.

Visual-XSL (VisualXSL) is a GUI-based application for designing XSL stylesheets that precisely position XML data in the output document. With an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface, Visual-XSL (VisualXSL) allows for importing an existing, single- or multi-page static form and positioning the content on that form using a simple, drag-and-drop GUI.

A 30-day trial version of Visual-XSL (VisualXSL) is available for download from RenderX website.
