The real question is, are there good, reliable tools for XSL-FO output to PDF?

Yes, there are quite a lot. See http://www.xslfo.info --- Yes. http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ ---

Thanks Andrew and Rudolf for the follow-up! I appreciate the extended info :)

One thing this reminds me of is to follow-up on the IKVM.NET list...
A few weeks back on the IKVM.NET mailing list someone was attempting
to tackle a few issues with getting FOP up and running on .NET via
IKVM.  Based on his last post to the list, it seems he found success.

I attempted the same thing about a year and a half back and ran into
too many dependency walls in comparison to the time I had to spend
getting it up and running.  But even if it proves as the wrong tool
for the Open Office XML to PDF conversion, It seems this would come in
handy for quite a few folks to get FOP integrated and fine-tuned as an
assembly available to the other 50% of us working over on the "Dark
Side" ;) :D

With extended info in hand, I will follow-up this thread if/when I
have useful information in regards to this (unless anyone in range of
this list has also been successful in getting FOP running on .NET via
IKVM.NET?)
