The XF Rendering Server 2013 Viewer application is used to preview and export XSL-FO documents using the XF Rendering Server 2013 engine. It has a modern interface that uses controls located in an accessible ribbon in order to provide access to frequently used commands.

 

There are two available view modes: XML and Preview, both accessed through the corresponding buttons located in the View group, under the Main tab.

The XML view mode offers the user the possibility to view and edit the XSL-FO code. The result can be displayed by selecting the Preview button.
