Hi,
You have to consider the additional JARs used by FOP (Xalan, Avalon, ...).
IMHO you get somewhat around 5 MB of JARs. It will take a long time for your
users to download so much stuff (at least the first time they use the
applet). This was the reason for us to have FOP on the server and send
I agree with Markus.
FOP needs so much JARs and rendering PDF take so much ressources that I
think it's better to do the transformations server side and then send the
result to the client. That is my opinion about using FOP clientside with
an applet (for web app, I think the servlet approach
they are working on
this.

I'd look to Java Web Start. 5MB is required, but it can be downloaded once only.
It would be great if Adobe
produced a version of Acrobat

Good point.
Here's my problem: I need to generate on-demand some good-size PDFs (a few
hundred pages) for a lot of users. Our tests with FOP indicate it is too
I use Java Web Start to deliver a Java application embedding FOP and it
works great. I consider a one-time 5M download to be small these days,
compared to lots of other internet practices people frequently use (like
downloading game demos). Besides, you can quickly surpass 5M in PDF
downloads by
