Printing

Bibledit can print things like a list of references along with the text, or the project.

Printing is done this way. Bibledit generates a .pdf file, and then opens this file in a pdf viewer. From there it can be printed.

Bibledit supports several formatters.

  1. FOP. A Formatting Objects Processor. It is an open source formatter.
  2. XEP. RenderX XEP Desktop is a commercial proprietary formatter. A free personal edition is available.
  3. XSLFormatter. Antenna House XSL Formatter V3 is a commercial proprietary formatter. A trial version is available. The Lite version is not able to format a whole project, but the Standard version does it.

All three of these formatters will format simple documents generated by Bibledit. Printing a project is more complex, and FOP does not manage to format that. XEP and XSLFormatter are capable of formatting these complex documents.

Installation instructions for these formatters:

  1. FOP.
  2. XEP.
  3. XSLFormatter.

Some of these formatters need a Java Virtual Machine. See the installation instructions.
