Hi,

we have a similar problem for WO generated forms, reports, etc. One idea is the following:

Capture the HTML output from a generated page and save this to an HTML temp file, automate Safari or FireFox to open and print this document via AppleScript, capture the PostScript output via a cups backend filter and convert it via the OS X "pstopdf" tool or Distiller into PDF.

I would prefer FireFox because in printouts the page wraps of tables better than Safari.

Are there any better ideas?

I need to compose PDF output based on certain input,

I know of FOP, but just found iText

    http://www.lowagie.com/iText/

iText seems to be well documented and feature rich. At least for my
second task, this might be a good solution to further evaluate options.

My PDFs need to be high-resolution to be printed on high-resolution
imaging/printing machine.

But: Do we have a PDF lib, which especially integrates well with WO?
