FOP is a print formatter for XSL formatting objects.

It can be used to render an XML file containing XSL formatting objects into a page layout. The main target is PDF but other rendering targets are supported, such as AWT, PCL, text and direct printing.

FOP is distributed with Cocoon as a PDF serializer for XSL (FO) documents.

Batik can be used with FOP to transcode an SVG image into a PDF document. The mime type for PDF is "application/pdf".

There will be a Java Webstart demo sometime in the future.
