    - #### RendererFactory

          public RendererFactory(boolean rendererPreferred)

      Main constructor.
      Parameters:
        `rendererPreferred` - Controls whether a `Renderer` is preferred over a `IFDocumentHandler` if both are available for the same MIME type. True to prefer the `Renderer`, false to prefer the `IFDocumentHandler`.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isRendererPreferred

          public boolean isRendererPreferred()

      Indicates whether a `Renderer` is preferred over a `IFDocumentHandler` if both are available for the same MIME type.
      Returns:
        true if the `Renderer` is preferred, false if the `IFDocumentHandler` is preferred.

    - #### addRendererMaker

          public void addRendererMaker(AbstractRendererMaker maker)

      Add a new RendererMaker. If another maker has already been registered for a particular MIME type, this call overwrites the existing one.
      Parameters:
        `maker` - the RendererMaker

    - #### addFOEventHandlerMaker

          public void addFOEventHandlerMaker(AbstractFOEventHandlerMaker maker)

      Add a new FOEventHandlerMaker. If another maker has already been registered for a particular MIME type, this call overwrites the existing one.
      Parameters:
        `maker` - the FOEventHandlerMaker

    - #### addDocumentHandlerMaker

          public void addDocumentHandlerMaker(AbstractIFDocumentHandlerMaker maker)

      Add a new document handler maker. If another maker has already been registered for a particular MIME type, this call overwrites the existing one.
      Parameters:
        `maker` - the intermediate format document handler maker

    - #### addRendererMaker

          public void addRendererMaker(java.lang.String className)

      Add a new RendererMaker. If another maker has already been registered for a particular MIME type, this call overwrites the existing one.
      Parameters:
        `className` - the fully qualified class name of the RendererMaker

    - #### addFOEventHandlerMaker

          public void addFOEventHandlerMaker(java.lang.String className)

      Add a new FOEventHandlerMaker. If another maker has already been registered for a particular MIME type, this call overwrites the existing one.
      Parameters:
        `className` - the fully qualified class name of the FOEventHandlerMaker

    - #### addDocumentHandlerMaker

          public void addDocumentHandlerMaker(java.lang.String className)

      Add a new document handler maker. If another maker has already been registered for a particular MIME type, this call overwrites the existing one.
      Parameters:
        `className` - the fully qualified class name of the document handler maker

    - #### getRendererMaker

      Parameters:
        `mime` - the requested output format
      Returns:
        the requested RendererMaker or null if none is available

    - #### getFOEventHandlerMaker

          public AbstractFOEventHandlerMaker getFOEventHandlerMaker(java.lang.String mime)
