Treebeard Project - cfx_treebeard ColdFusion Custom Tag

cfx_treebeard is a Cold Fusion MX custom tag that does xslt transformations and FOP transformations. This gives Cold Fusion MX the ability to combine an XML document with a formating object document and create a PDF file on the fly.

While Cold Fusion MX has a built in process to do xslt transformations, one cannot pass parameters to the style sheet. cfx_treebeard allows unlimited style sheet parameters to be passed to the style sheet.

PDFs seem to be used quite a bit in business, and a lot of businesses want to use PDFs for web printing. With cfx_treebeard, Cold Fusion MX users can combine their XML documents with user defined FO documents to create PDF files that can be sent to the client in real time (as opposed to fake time).

Of course, the XML documents and the FO documents work best when written using Treebeard / Fangorn :-)
