RealObjects PDFreactor is a powerful formatting processor for converting XML and XHTML/HTML documents into PDF. It uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define page layout and styles. The brand new server-side tool enables a great variety of applications in the field of ERP, eCommerce and Electronic Publishing, such as:

• Dynamic creation of documents and reports
• Integration into business- and publishing-workflows
• Multi-channel publishing of content through Web and Print
• Invoices, delivery notes and shipping documents on-the-fly
• Automatic generation of technical manuals, data sheets, reports and product information

Since PDFreactor runs on your server, the end-user does not need any software other than a Web browser with a free PDF viewer.

By implementing the W3C specification for Paged Media and print, PDFreactor provides great control over the paged output via CSS. It is very easy to set page sizes, margins and pagination for specific elements, page headers and footers. Using proprietary configuration and CSS properties, it is possible to set PDF specific information, to generate outlines and links for your documents and even to add meta information about the author or keywords.
