Features
- Automated document generation: StyleVision Server automates the rendering of XML, SQL databases, and XBRL data into multiple output formats, including HTML, RTF, PDF, plain text, and Microsoft Word files. This is achieved using StyleVision stylesheets, which define the layout and formatting of the generated documents.

- Integration with Altova server products: StyleVision Server can be configured to work with other Altova server products, such as FlowForce Server, RaptorXML Server, MobileTogether Server, and MapForce Server. This integration allows for comprehensive workflow automation and data processing capabilities, enhancing the overall efficiency of business operations.
- Dynamic content elements: The server supports the inclusion of dynamic content elements in report designs, such as tables, charts, images, bar codes, headers, and footers. These elements can be customized to meet specific business requirements and provide a professional look to the generated documents.
- PXF files: StyleVision Server uses PXF files to package SPS stylesheets with related files, including XML schema files, source XML files, image files, and XSLT files for transformation output formats. This packaging ensures that all necessary components are included for document rendering, simplifying the deployment process.
- Command-line execution: The server supports standalone configuration executed from a command line or programmatically via an API. This allows for flexible integration with other systems and applications, enabling automated document generation as part of larger workflows.
