Firstly, I don't want to ask 'which is the best FO processor', so its ok to read on :) Ive recently set about converting a set of xhtml producing stylesheets to produce pdf. Ive learnt a bit of FO, using FOP as the processor. Now I've seen the conformance charts at http://www.antennahouse.com/xslfo/impl-comparison-fo.htm and I can see that FOP only implements about 50% of the 'complete' spec (around 67% of the 'basic' spec). What I would like to know is that enough to use for development? Is there anything missing that rules FOP out as a realistic choice? The others are all really expensive, so if its possible to do a task using FOP - even if its longhand, or requires more work work in xslt - then that's fine. Things like margins, text-transform etc can all be done another way, so is there any need to pay for one of the commercial ones? What do other regular FO developers use? Thanks for any insight andrew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
