RenderX

Products

RenderX document formatting software — IRen, IRen InGrid, VDPMill, and CloudFormatter — rendering XML and XSL-FO to PDF, PostScript, and AFP.

RenderX builds document formatting software that turns XML and XSL-FO into print-ready PDF, PostScript, and AFP. The same engine scales from a single desktop to containerized grids producing high-volume print streams, and it has been doing so in enterprise production since 1999.

IRen

The enterprise XSL-FO formatting engine (formerly XEP), rendering XML and XSL-FO to PDF, PostScript, and AFP, with add-on output for SVG, XPS, PPML, and HTML. Fully backward-compatible: existing stylesheets, configurations, and integrations continue to work unchanged.

IRen InGrid

IRen at grid scale: parallel formatting across multiple engines with load balancing, queuing, and failover. Version 1.1 adds a REST /format API, an official Docker Hub image, and Kubernetes deployment support.

VDPMill

Variable-data document production at industrial volume — personalized statements, policies, and bills, up to hundreds of thousands of pages in a single print file. A four-stage pipeline splits input, formats it in parallel, customizes the print stream, and generates multiple output formats simultaneously.

CloudFormatter

Hosted formatting as a web service: send XML or XSL-FO, get print-quality PDF back. No engine to install and no rendering infrastructure to operate.

Advanced & Specialized Tools

  • VisualXSL — a visual designer for XSL stylesheets, used to build document and form layouts without hand-writing XSL-FO. Commonly paired with VDPMill for stylesheet design.
  • Free Tools — free converters and utilities that complement the formatting products.
