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 or 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.

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. On 11.09.2008 17:13:32 Venkatesan, Balaji wrote: > > Hi, > I have just started using FOP.
