Summary

XF Designer by Ecrion Software

URLs: xfdesigner, ecrion

Design your professional document templates. XF Designer2009 is a user-friendly, easy to learn document template editor with an advanced XSL-driven WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) interface. Although it looks and works just like a conventional word processor, the designer gives you much more flexibility to alter or reuse layout, by separating it from the underlying data. And because XF Designer is based on the same core engine as XF Rendering Server 2009 you can rest assured that the designed documents will match the expected output.

XF Designer integrates a XSL-FO editor and a template designer in a easy to use environment. The documents can be later formatted at runtime using XF Rendering Server or any other XSL-FO formatter.

Features:

Cost and time savings in the creation of documents

Includes full support for intelligent XSL-FO editing

Performs XSL transformations

Different output formats and files (PDF, XPS, HTML, XSL-FO)

Color spaces support for digital print (RGB and CYMK)

Barcodes can be created via fonts or SVG graphics.

Why use it

XSL-FO editing

XF Designer 2009 gives you the possibility to change many of the properties manually (you don’t need to write in the text module), with just a mouse click in the properties sheet. The changed property is reflected immediately in the document.

It’s easy to use and has a Word like layout editor - WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). It looks and works like a conventional word processor, yet gives you much more flexibility to alter or reuse content while keeping its integrity intact.

Template editing

XF Designer 2009 supports XPath and allows complex expressions. This gives the designer the ability to control the output as exact and precise as necessary.

Offers design templates for database publishing or print-on-demand.

Doesn’t require XSL-FO and XML programming skills.

Offers XPath and XSL support for advanced users.

The use of drag and drop leads to fast results.
