having difficulty trying to find a stand-alone applet
that can do this.
I have things setup to generate PDF files using FOP on the commandline, but I would like this to work soley on a client, within IE for example, so that a user can select the XML content within the browser and have it display in PDF format, where the user could possibly save or print it.
Is such an applet available?
There isnt an applet that meets your requirements exactly (that I know about anyway). You can easily write one. If Java isnt your strong point you may want to take a look at the AWTStarter and PreviewDialog classes in the source code distribution. They do roughly what you want, but not exactly.
