We're using FOP to generate our monthly billing statements. We generate 70,000 statements+ a month in about a 4 hour period of time. Statements range from 1-10 pages. We set up OMR marks for our print shop and OCR fonts for the bank return slips. One way we increased speed was to fire the SAX events directly, instead of through a stylesheet. This also gave us a little more control over the content, whithout having to code FOP extensions.
We sold it to our company in several ways. It's verry low cost (donation to apache.org), gave us control over look of statements and allowed our billing question department to view the exact bill the client recieved. It also runs on AS/400's.

Please respond to fop-dev Hello everyone, I have busy evaluated the FO technology and I would like to hear from people that are using it for real-life business needs. What kind of documents are they using it with ? What volume ? Embedding it in servlets ? How do they cope with the "speed" ? How do they justify using FO to their bosses ? Anybody with both 3B2 and FO or Compuset and FO experience ? I would love to hear your story.
