Using Apache FOP to generate a PDF document based on a form submission data

    Friday, February 15, 2013

    Need to generate a PDF document based on a form submission data? Apache FOP can do just that! Recently, I was working on a CQ component that contained a form that based on the user input, generated a PDF document.  The requirements called for three types of PDF documents (a certificate of sorts).  The data entered by the user was being used to determine the type of document issued.  All three types of documents had a similar layout, but the copy was different and each document contained user-specific values coming from the form and subsequent calculations.
