Have You Seen the Saucer?

Demo Pages

Here are screenshots of Flying Saucer in action. Click on an image to see it full-size. These are all taken from our [./demos.html demo apps] running in our "browser" demo application. These pages are simple XHTML we threw together to show (and test) our CSS coverage.We apologize for the quality of the thumbnails—this batch was done quickly using a desktop tool—we'll fix them shortly.If you have any good-looking screenshots of Flying Saucer rendering your own pages, please get in touch with us so we can post them, thanks!

Websites

Disclaimer: The following screenshots are from publically-available websites and are shown here in order to demonstrate the rendering capabilities of the Flying Saucer rendering panel. Images, content, design etc. belong to the owners of the respective content on the respective websites. URLs to each site are hyperlinked to the text shown. Many of these sites may be in "legacy" HTML. No tricks were used to load them—however they are all run through the TagSoup HTML parser to convert them to valid XML. You will note some minor problems in rendering some of these sites.Taken using JDK 6 running on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with anti-aliasing turned on.

ALL the pictures in the Websites section no longer match the site they were built from. Significant Structural Changes. Maybe you could automate image generation in some way?

@mstorer: why does it matter if the images are out of date. Its quite evident that Flying Saucer rendering is quite impressive.

Comment by project member pdoubl...@gmail.com, Apr 11, 2011

@mstorer Automation is tricky. Flying Saucer is not a browser, so if there are, for example, problems with the HTML we have to load the site through a tool like Tidy and see if that breaks anything when it cleans up the HTML. I could probably write a tool to at least make it easier to update the shots, though. It's not a high priority, though. We don't get a lot of comments on our screenshots.

If you would like to write and submit a tool I'd be glad to use it, though.

Hi, I wanted to know how Flying Saucer react to specific locale concern, for instance, using an HTML page displaying RTL (right to left) instead of traditionnal LTR, let's say to convert an HTML page displayed in Arabic into a PDF file. Thanks.
