I have two files.
I want to create pdf with these two files.
- does anyone know program on linux that can do that?
- whats the command?
The first one is xhtml/xml file:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Day/Time</td>
<td>7.30</td>
<td>8.15</td>
<td>9.05</td>
<td>9.50</td>
<td>10.40</td>
<td>11.25</td>
<td>12.15</td>
<td>13.00</td>
<td>13.50</td>
<td>14.35</td>
<td>15.25</td>
<td>16.10</td>
<td>17.00</td>
<td>17.45</td>
<td>18.35</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Monday</td>
<td colspan="4"></td>
<td colspan="2">UvIn 134 1.P</td>
<td colspan="3">Mult 134 3.P -> 137</td>
<td colspan="6"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tuesday</td>
<td colspan="2">InTe 135 1.P</td>
<td></td>
<td colspan="3">MaAn 336 1.P</td>
<td></td>
<td colspan="2">AlSu 134 1.P</td>
<td colspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="2">AlSu 135 1.P</td>
<td colspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Wednesday</td>
<td colspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="3">Kart 134 2.PV</td>
<td colspan="2">INTE 041 2.PV</td>
<td></td>
<td colspan="2">Aj 139 1.P</td>
<td colspan="5"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Thursday</td>
<td colspan="2"></td>
<td colspan="2">GeIn 139 2.PV</td>
<td colspan="3">SePr 135 1.P</td>
<td colspan="8"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Friday</td>
<td colspan="15"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
and the second one is .xsl file - combined xslt+xsl-fo:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:template match="a:html">
<fo:root>
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="a4">
<fo:region-body padding-top="1in" padding-left="1.5mm" background-color="#222"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="a:body">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="a4">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:table>
<fo:table-body background-color="#333">
<xsl:for-each select="a:table/a:tr">
<fo:table-row>
<xsl:for-each select="a:td">
<fo:table-cell padding="0.5mm" border-width="2mm" border-style="outset" border-color="#bbb" color="#aaff00" font-weight="bold" font-family="arial" text-align="center">
<xsl:if test="@colspan"><xsl:attribute name="number-columns-spanned"><xsl:value-of select="@colspan"/></xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:table-cell>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You'll need an XSLT processor, xsltproc is probably already in your Linux distribution. Then you'll need a processor to convert the FO (Formatting Objects) to a PDF. Apache has a free FO processor (FOP): Apache™ FOP: Downloading A Distribution
Once you have a FOP downloaded and extracted, your pipeline might look something like this:
$ xsltproc so.xsl so.xml > so.fo
$ <path-to-extracted-fop-dir>/fop so.fo so.pdf
I've tried as much with your provided XML source and XSLT, and there were errors when running Apache FOP. I don't know anything about your XSLT, so you might be able to get around the errors.
