The currently available version of the FOP processor from Apache implements only a subset of the XSL:FO standard. This subset often doesn’t include functionality which is required to implement the design in StyleVision® 2008. Even though we provide a special compatibility mode for the Apache FOP processor, it still works differently with a more complete implementation. It must be noted that there are different interpretations on how to implement the FO specification and therefore the output of one FO processor may differ from that of another.
