Thread-topic: [cinjug-users] PDF generation in Java
Does anyone have any performance numbers of PDF generation tools for very large 
PDFs (about 600
pages/1 meg in size)?

We use FOP and it takes about 60 seconds (100 milliseconds per page) to convert 
the transformed XML
into PDF for 600 pages.  How does this compare to other tools out there or from 
your own experience?

Thanks,
-Matt

Jim, it's really pretty straightforward,  there are some gotchas with 
Apache's FO processor in that it's not fully compliant (but then again, 
I don't know if any are fully compliant)  -- but FOP it is open source, 
so you can contribute back to it :)

I use Oxygen (Eclipse plugin) for the XML editing and transforming to FO 
and running it through FO,  but the xml/xsl editor in the WST that Chris 
Nelson mentioned can probably handle the XSL editing and running through 
transformations.  You might find one that plugs into your ide nicely, or 
as another standalone tool like: Check out www.xslfast.com  or 
www.inventivedesigners.com/scriptura

Let me know what you end up doing.

Brian

FOP framework to do so.   For those who have done this, was there another tool 
used to facilitate the
creation of the XSL files containing the FOP tags?  From the surface this 
appears to be a very
difficult task in that the FOP tags are very cumbersome to use.  Is there an 
easy way to accomplish
this.
