RE: Printing XML reports

Robert,

	I am also interested in doing this.  There are 2 other possible
solutions as I see it:

	1. Use Adobe API to generate PDF (may have nothing to do with XSL)
	2. Use an XSL stylesheet to create a FDF (Forms Definition File)
	    Adobe reader can overlay the PDF and FDF yielding your form.

	Has anybody else attempted #2?

	There is a program written in C with source that
converts HTML into PDF called HTMLDOC.
