RE: XML to PDF

Interesting idea, I like the concept of "hoppers". Where can the DTD of PDF
be found, and how would you then generate the real PDF file out of that XML?

<Q> Surely XSL-Fo is the best way to go.
<Q> Another approach is to create an XSLT that will parse
<Q> a predefined XML (That represents the structure of
<Q> PDF).
<Q> Use Another XSLT to convert ur data XML to this
<Q> predefined XML format.
<Q> This is brute force approach to create and XSL. This
<Q> approach would be there to for generating simple PDF's
