XSL Report Designer lets you create Fixed layouts for your rigid forms, Flow layouts for forms that have expanding fields to accommodate the data and Label layouts for multiple forms (labels) on a page.

Generate XSL stylesheets
XSL Report Designer lets you save your project as an XSL stylesheets to then be used with a standard XSLT processor to create XSL-FO from your XML data.

With XSL Report Designer a Project File can be created to format your existing TSV (Tab Separated Values) / CSV (Comma Separated Values) files by converting them into XML data.

Runtime Engine to create XSL-FO
Going beyond what can be achieved with XSLT the Runtime Engine offers a wide range of additional functions to process and transform XML data to XSL-FO based on the layout designed with XSL Report Designer. The Java and command line interfaces of the Runtime Engine are designed to enable the construction of systems for server or web enabled formatting of reports and forms.
