Yessir. I help my clients create systems that use FOP for commercial output.
We've been hugely successful, producing books as large as 2,000 pages. My clients and their customers are very satisfied with FOP (though many of them don't even know FOP exists, since it works behind the scenes from their point of view). The cost of any software package is trivial next to the cost of development time (both writing and programming), so I can't say that using an open-source processor like FOP saves a lot of money. However, I can't sufficiently emphasize the value of the FOP community. I've never yet had an issue for which I didn't get help in a hurry. Generally, if I have a question, I post and get more than one helpful message within 24 hours (often much less). I never get that kind of support from any company, even though I paid for their product.
