You might check out Prince <http://www.princexml.com> as well. Prince, unlike FOP, uses CSS to specify rich page layouts. Prince implements most of CSS 3, including the Paged Media module <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/> and extends it for things like cross-references and numbering. Prince also allows you to render SVG for fancier drawing and text effects. As a web developer at heart, CSS and SVG are much more palatable to me than FOP. (Others’ mileage may vary, though.) I did a proof of concept implementation a while back that wrapped Prince in a PHP-based web service that allowed me to pass CSS and XML from MarkLogic and return PDF as a binary over HTTP. I’m swamped now, but I’ll try to post that code to GitHub in the not-too-distant future.
