The Book on Symphony
I finally discovered that I can have a pretty decent looking PDF file by printing directly from my website if I don’t specify my stylesheet for screen media only. After turning off all the cruft produced by the web browser for pagination, etc., I can get a layout that turns all my CSS elements into PostScript objects. The implications for the printing industry could be amazing if XML, XSLT and PDF could be combined into some sort of prepress workflow. I am sure that someone has thought of this before, or has already implemented it.
