public void convert(File mcfFile,
 OutputStream xslFoOut,
 int dpi,
 boolean binding,
 int maxPageNo)
             throws IOException,

Parameters:

mcfFile - MCF input file.

xslFoOut - Stream to write the XSL-FO data to.

dpi - Resolution, in dots per inch, to use for image rendering. The higher the value, the better the quality, but the more RAM is consumed.

binding - true to add a page separation

maxPageNo - Renders only up to the given page number (e.g. for testing settings). A value of -1 indicates to render all pages.
