This works really well, we have our own reporting application that generates xml, from the interface you can generate a pdf on the fly using xsl-fo via a struts action that writes to the response and returns null;

The nice thing about using xsl-fo is that you can switch the stylesheet to a gnumeric one and generate an excel spreadsheet using the HSSFSerializer

I have never worked with PDF, but I hear that XSL-FO can be translated into PDF easily. Have you people ever considered keeping the document in XSL-FO and then fork it where one path converts it into PDF where you need it and the other path converts it into (X)HTML with which you can do anything you like in any web-browser?
