If you are looking for an alternative to XSL to create PDF files from XML,
you could possibly use perl (I would ;-).
There are quite a few perl XML modules that will let you access the data in
the XML file in a way that you like, then you have the perl PDF::Create
module to do just that. (I haven't actually used the PDF::Create module
myself, maybe I'll give it a go).
I'm sure you would probably find other programming languages that let you
both access XML data, and create PDF files.
XSL is a great way to transform XML but you can't use it for everything (but
you can use perl; for everything ;)

Hey,
FO is I think in the draft stage and I don't know how
many bugs I am going to face with that.
Is there any way to write a utility to write PDF
directly from the XML???
Can anyone give me the strong points to use FOs?
Why cannot I generate PDF directly from xml and xsl
combination what are the issues?
I do not need Image in output PDF.
Please guide.
Thanks
Deep
