Printing XML reports

print xml report
I need to convert some XML documents into PDF.
The documents contain financial reports.
Currently, the XML docs are converted into HTML tables
for display on browsers. My problem is that the HTML tables
don't print well (i.e., report headings and column headings
don't appear at the top of each page, a row is split between
two pages, etc.).

I know that I can convert the XML reports to FO documents
and use an FO processor (e.g., FOP, FO2PDF, etc.)
to convert them to PDF files.

Has anyone had success doing this?
Do these FO processors run fast enough, so that my 
web server can can convert the XML reports to PDF
on demand?

Does anyone know of an easier way to print these
reports? For example, are there any good tools that
convert HTML to PDF and that place the table headers/footers 
(i.e., the THEAD and TFOOT elements) at the top/bottom
of each page?

Many thanks in advance.

Bob
