 It will be easier for people (or vendors) to provide meaningful answers if you clarify some of your requirements. For example, you write: 1. High performance, large file size processing. What do you mean by this? 100 pages per minute? 100,000 pages per minute. Some people think 10 MB files are large. Others think 10 GB files are large. Or do you mean 100 page documents? Or 1,000 or 10,000 page documents? 2. Complex layouts with intensive graphics (inserted jpgs and generated svg code) Some people think two column pages with headers, footers, and tables that span the two columns are complex. Others have pages with hundreds of separately defined areas and dozens of page designs in a publication. 4. Commercial print quality required I recently received an advertisement for a printer who guaranteed "professional quality 300 dpi two-color pages". Is this what you want? If not, what do you mean?

Not needed to generate FO - just to process 9. Must be able to output to PDF or Post Script 10. Supporting text-align=$string is a plus! I would be surprised if there were any processors that support the entire XSL-FO spec. I would be more surprised if you needed/wanted all of the XSL-FO spec. For example, do you need a tool that supports Aural Stylesheets? That is, a tool that supports rendering as audio? Not if you are talking about PDF or Post Script. -- Tommie -- ====================================================================== B.
