Alternative to FOP

[Armel HERVE]

Hi there,

does anybody know a good alternative to apache-fop ?
I explain myself: fop is only a partial implementation of xsl:fo and
there is some bugs which are problematic...

So, do you have a good idea to replace it ? Even if it costs some...

Thanks for your answers (and sorry for my English...)

Depends on what you want to do. If you just want to generate some PDF
from a java-app, I would suggest iText.

Ciao,

In fact, I have some XML that I want to transform through XSL:FO to
generate pdf files. I am not the author of the xsl style sheet, that's
why I can't use iText

Ah, OK, then iText is not an option (if you do not want to write an own
XML-iText-transformer ;-)

Sorry, no idea...

I don't know anything from experience, but I will be your obligatory
"Google" responder. A Google search for "xsl-fo implementation pdf"
yields several promising options:

Oracle XML Publisher
Ibex PDF Creator (.NET API, access using JACOB or J/Integra)
AltSoft Xml2LDF (.NET API, access using JACOB or J/Integra)

Add RenderX XEP Rendering Engine. It claims to be fully compliant with
XSL-FO version 1.0, and is already in Java to make your life easier.
Licensing appears expensive.

In which version ? 0.20 or 0.90 ? Any bugs in particular? I'm just
curious because I use FOP quite a bit in my current project,
