Wrycan built an XSL-FO framework to generate print-ready and web-ready PDF versions of these customizable college-level science textbooks.

As part of the framework, Wrycan built XSL to generate print-ready PDFs of the textbooks. The PDFs were design and brand-compliant and had the following features:

  • Ability to assemble any number of chapters in any order
  • Multi-column output
  • Different generation modes, including instructor edition, student edition, and preview edition
  • Support for high resolution (print-ready PDF) and low resolution (web-ready PDF) imagery
  • Automatic creation of separate TOCs for tables, figures and chapter content
  • Complex formatting, embedded font, bleeds and column-balancing
  • Linking internal cross-references
  • Cover and spine generating with correct spine width depending on page count
  • Ability to publish a single chapter or a complete custom textbook
