Re: [xsl] xml to pdf or word

[Adam Darwin <addarwin at yahoo dot co dot uk>]

I still don't get this.  I think i'm being really
stupid, but....

The way I think it should work is that I have some
xml, which I translate through an xslt using the xslt
formatting objects.  This is all done dynamically by a
user accessing an asp page, selecting a few options
and pressing a button.  the pdf then magically pops up
on the screen.

>From the examples I have found on the net, I can't see
how this works, as they seem to create the pdfs before
hand and not on the fly (i.e. using java compiler)

Is what I want to do possible?

am I just being stupid?

all help is greatly appreciated.

regards,

Adam
