Wrong! Look at iText http://www.lowagie.com/iText/ to see how simple their examples are. They build a complex table with just a few lines of java codes. Try doing the same with the XML/XSLT/XSL:FO approach and I guarantee you that the total outcome will be much more both in lines and complexity. I think to generate PDF with iText is as easy as generating XML from Java. XSLT is just a complicated language. But I will take a closer look at our xsl files and see how and if things could be simplified...
