Exactly, in fact i generate XML fo batch Report using perl, then pass them through FOP utility generating pdf file and finally sending the rendered file to printer [which are printer and mailed to vendors]. Page x of y is easier to do this way... faced with logo display.. initially i tries installing ImageMagic but had a easier way using FOP. -shantanil

It is much easier. You could use the XML to render HTML, RTF or any other format. FOP programming is also much easier, as you shift all the java programming burden of building the FO document to FOP.

I would like to know whether it is recommended to build them using the FOP classes that represent FO elements (FONode/FObj and its decendants), or whether it is better to build them as XML docuemnts and use FOP for rendering only.
