Load XSL-FO before PDF render

This API call returns a URL at which XSL-FO XML instance can be accessed before it is passed to the Apache FOP rendering process that turns XSL-FO into a PDF instance. It is an extremely useful function for XSL-FO style developers.

Example API call

idA session ID that is valid for this collection and publication combination.
collectionThe name of the collection that the publication is registered in, such as default.
bookThe name of the publication, such as PDMUNITTEST.
