It’s so easy: declare a bytearray output and a textrenderer, feed in a URL, layout, and create a PDF. Put it in the byte array, feed it back to the browser with a ContentType and HTTP headers, and your application is PDF-enabled with Flying Saucer.
Glen Smith’s Gravl blog in Groovy Grails produces PDF Formatted Output. Compile Gravl Grails and experiment for document publishing queue. How do I track and highlight changes to externally-authored documents in this format? I am going to be reading a lot of these very comprehensive documents and I need a system to optionally highlight revisions between these two systems.
Subversion is not enough for me, a diff is not visually helpful in a visual format like PDF. It has got to be easier than producing a diff of two related Word documents! It’s got to be one document, and it’s got to look highlighted. I don’t want to miss anything.
