PlayFOP

PlayFOP is a library for generating PDFs, images, and other types of output in Play Framework applications. PlayFOP accepts XSL-FO that an application has generated—via a Play Twirl template, with the scala-xml library, or as a String—and processes it with Apache FOP.

It offers:

• A concise invocation syntax. Go from XSL-FO to finished output in as little as a single method call.
• Transparent caching of expensive Apache FOP objects.
• Formatters for working with Apache FOP units, and for preserving whitespace in output.
• Flexible integration into your application via dependency injection.

PlayFOP works with Play applications written in Scala or Java. It supports Scala 2.11 and 2.12, and Play 2.4 or later. (It has been tested with Play 2.4 - 2.6.)
