PDF Chemistry allows you to obtain PDF output from HTML or XML documents simply by styling them with CSS. It is a CSS Paged Media processor based on the open-source Apache FOP XSL-FO engine. Its main purpose is to provide you with a simple tool that allows you to leverage your CSS knowledge to create printable deliverables. It is particularly useful for generating technical documentation. PDF Chemistry comes integrated with Oxygen XML Editor/Author but it is also available as a separate product for easy integration with automated processes. This means you can use an integration server to run the transformations to publish the PDF output or simply use a command-line interface to run the transformations. Note that the separate product requires its own license key.

There are changes in: Core Component Updates Core
Compress PDF Output The new -compress-pdf parameter can be used to reduce the size of the PDF output file for easier storage and sharing. Merge Multiple PDFs It is now possible to merge multiple PDFs together. Depending on where you want the additional PDFs to be inserted, you can use the new -insert-after or -insert-before parameters to provide a semicolon-separated list of PDF files to be merged with the currently generated PDF. Generate Separate Files from Fragments of a PDF It is now possible to generate individual fragments of a PDF as separate files using the new -oxy-pdf-extract-file CSS property, with the file name specified by the property value. This is particularly useful if you want separate PDF files for each chapter of a publication, alongside the whole book. Component Updates
Updated Apache FOP to Version 2.11 The Apache FOP library was updated to version 2.11.

This version adds the ability to control Chemistry console logging, implemented various bug fixes, and addressed issues that were reported by the community.
Core Control Logging It is now possible to control the Chemistry console logging by using a custom logback.xml configuration file along with the new -log-file parameter. This is helpful if you want to hide the INFO messages or write the logs into a separate file.
