Thanks.

But the pdf document we create is NOT of the same style everytime, we
are creating documents of different look and feel (but all are pdf)
depending on the document name for a participant. Actually, I missed out
our data style. It should be:

Participant1    DocumentA               Client1 Plan11
Participant2    DocumentB               Client1 Plan11
Participant3    DocumentC               Client2 Plan21
Participant4    DocumentA               Client2 Plan21
.....
.... and so on. Eventhough Participant1 and 4 are using the same document
name, since they are under different client, their document definition
may be entirely/slightly different.

I don't think we can have one common StyleSheet to print pdf for all
types of documents and that is why I am directly creating XSL-FO. 

Thanks

Subject: Re: Need help in writing pdf with more than 1000 pages using
fop..

Please take a look at the embedding examples:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/embedding.html#examples

They give you hints on how to implement the process in the most
efficient way.

It's bad practice to generate XSL-FO directly in code. It's messy and
hard to maintain. If you just send the participant data to a SAX stream
(define your own basic XML format with just the participant data, no
layout), you can separate out the layout logic into an XSLT stylesheet
that will take your XML format and turn it into XSL-FO. That keeps your
Java code clean and allows you to more quickly change layout stuff if
you need to. It also has the added benefit that you can do something
else with the XML data. For example, another XSLT stylesheet could turn
your participant data into HTML. The generation of the participant data
is practically equivalent to the ExampleObj2XML on the page indicated
above.

If you stay on the SAX level, you can avoid building up the full
participant document in memory. FOP will rather process the content as
it comes in as individual calls to the SAX ContentHandler.

If you can put each participant in a separate page-sequence you'll allow
FOP to run at very little memory usage. You can basically generate an
unlimited number of pages that way. Each participant is automatically
"flushed" to the PDF file that way.

I hope that helps.
