XEPWin Engine

XEPWin is a combination of code and applications targeted at XEP users and programmers on the Windows platform. XEPWin installs surrounding the XEP Engine and wraps all functionality with a .NET service, exposing all core rendering functionality to .NET applications and programming interfaces.

XEPWin core product comes with support for output of PDF, PDF/X, PDF/A, PostScript and our own XML output capabilities. Additional output modules are available as add-ons to the core product. These include PDF Forms, AFP, Microsoft XPS, PPML, SVG and HTML formats.

XEPWin has all the same functionality as XEP Engine, because it is XEP Engine. Only the Java interfaces and GUI have been hidden and replaced by Windows-centric .NET interfaces. XEPWin has the same core technical requirements and delivers the same capabilities as XEP Engine. XEPWin requires a Java Virtual Machine for the core engine as well as Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 or later for the service layer.

XEPWin comes with three applications for ease of use. A command-line tool much like the Java version can be invoked from a command prompt or easily tied to right-mouse click actions in a Windows menus. XEPWin also comes with a .NET version of the XEP Assistant, a GUI for selecting XML and XSL files for conversion.

New with XEPWin is ActiXEP, a Windows-based hot folder application. ActiXEP is a GUI and service-based application. It can be used to create hot folders that accept files via drag-and-drop or programmically copied for rendering. You can create as many folders as you like, tie different XSL transformations to particular folders or even make generic folders that accept XSL FO (XSLFO) directly or XML files with XSL style sheet links.

XEPWin is available in two license models, XEPWin Desktop and XEPWin Server.

XEPWin Desktop is for casual use by a single user installed on a desktop computer. Authors use one of the pre-built applications or possibly call the transformation from a Windows-based editor like XMetal using .NET coding or command-line interface.

XEPWin Server is for high-volume, multi-user or batch formatting in server-side applications. XEPWin Server generates rich reports from databases, prints high volumes of personalized correspondence and provides on-line creation of dynamic, customized documents. XEPWin Server can be called programmatically from .NET applications. ActiXEP can be used with shared directories to provide a large scale rendering service to a workgroup of users.
