Hi Jukka,

Thank a lot for you answer. I have already implemented a docx->PDF and
odt->PDF converters with FOP but I decided to give up for :

* performance reason. I have used XSLT cache, use xsl:key to compute the
odt/docx styles but the FOP implementation is less performant than iText
implementation, because :
  * FOP process : odt -> XSLT -> FO -> FOP
  * iText process : odt -> ODFDOM (Java) -> iText
* xslt vs Java model : with the iText process, your model is Java, although
with FOP your model is XML. I prefer develop Java instead of XSLT.

That's why I'm searching Java PDF API like PDFBox to replace iText to
provides our code to Apache.
