We had the same needs, generate on-demand big PDF with some images
(between 200 and 500 pages), fop is mostly used here by the employees in
their usual apps, but there was also a few need for our websites' users.
We first have integrated FOP in our front apps using SHELL32.DLL in Visual
Basic environment. So we just had to deploy the JARs over the network and
the renders were made by the clients. Then we made a servlet to integrate
our work on the websites.
If your clients are on a Windows platform, why don't you use a customised
command line version of FOP which could be easily integrated into your
client app ?
As I said, we did that here, a command line version for the (lots of)
client users here in the society, and a servlet embedded version for the
(few) remote users.

Objet : RE: FOP in production app (clienside)
Good point.
Here's my problem: I need to generate on-demand some good-size PDFs (a few
hundred pages) for a lot of users. Our tests with FOP indicate it is too
resource intensive to do on my web servers for this many users, so I'd
like
to generate XSLT and somehow let the client's PC do the transform to PDF.
If applet is not practical, I wonder if there are any browser plug-ins
that
can do it (hopefully much smaller than 5MB)? It would be great if Adobe
produced a version of Acrobat that can consume XSLT and render the PDF
directly, but I have not heard anything to indicate they are working on
this.
