Title: Possibility of converting from XML to PDF without the intermediate stage of FO format



I have 
also noticed that doing the XML to FO to PDF in memory as opposed to writing to 
disk reduces time by about 80% in the samples that I tried.
 
I was 
using iTEXT, XEP, FOP, RTF2FO etc. 
 
Below 
you say that a 56 page PDF from XML files takes about 2 minutes. That sounds 
really good - I was working with 2 pages and 2 XML files generating FO doing an 
XSLT transform to merge and coverting to PDF and that was taking me about 1.5 
minutes on a 333MHZ machine.
 
I was 
just curoius what the total sizes of the XML, the FOs and the PDF were. Did you 
concate the FOs? how did you get a single PDF (what tool)?

  How to decrease the responding time of converting from XML 
  to PDF ? Currently it took me about 2 Mins to generate my 56 page PDF from 
  XML files. Is that possible to convert from XML to PDF without the 
  intermediate stage of FO format ? 
  Thanks, Jie
