What is the difference between XSL:FO create PDF and InDesign creation PDF.

A quick summary, I think, would be that XSL-FO is focused on the flow of content while InDesign is focused on the page.

Which is good Quality?

I want to know only Quality wise.

Quality varies based on the vendor, not on the technology. With XSL-FO rendering I see quality differences between free and commercial XSL-FO engines running the identical XSL-FO instance. The commercial engines I've used are very close and are practically interchangeable, but the free engines don't compare.

I've seen some impressive output from InDesign, but I wouldn't want to use it on the project I did for 3 million pages of paper in a single run (60,000 customized 50-page booklets).

Because the two technologies address different user requirements, I think it is impossible to answer your question. Use whichever technology meets your needs.

I hope this helps.
