I have a client who is happily using Fop to produce pretty printable versions of web tables (lots of financial figures) and charts. They are a very demanding user and wouldn't accept the system if it didn't do what they wanted. > > What kind of documents are they using it with ? What volume ? Embedding > > it in servlets ?

Low volume indeed (but very powerful machines) Embedded in servlets but due to IE bugs we sometimes had to save the whole pdf to disk and then redirect the browser to the saved pdf file. This is *bad* for a high volume site. The speed is acceptible. Most of the time we actually email the pdf to the user so speed is not an issue. My contact in the client company didn't need to specify what tools he used to his superior: he just needed to produce good printouts from the website. London Business? I am looking at providing some free Open Source consultancy to London businesses so if you run Fop in London please visit http://www.OWAL.co.uk/ and fill in the questionnaire.
