PDFreactor is a practical choice for publishers software architects and developers looking for a cross-platform, easy to deploy, cost-effective XML and XHTML/HTML printing solution that does not require any XSL-FO skills to quickly achieve great looking results.

It enables multi-channel publishing using CSS for styling XML and XHTML/HTML documents to be published in print or on the Web. You have to deal with only one style language. Streaming the output either to print media or over the Web just requires the definition of two media types within the CSS.

Please note, to achieve the same result with the transformation-based processing model of XSL/XSL-FO, you need two different style sheets in two different style languages. CSS for publishing on the Web, XSL/XSL-FO for publishing in print.

For more information about the differences between the styling-based processing model of CSS and the transformation-based processing model of XSL/XSL-FO, please review the section CSS vs XSL.
