I was also taken aback by what seems to be a plug for RenderX. FOP does 
all that I need, so I've never looked at RenderX, and this doesn't seem a 
like a logical forum in which to plug a commercial product.

Unfortunately, while I have produced several large PDF files (my record so 
far is a bit over 1600 pages) with FOP, I can't share them with anyone 
outside the company for which I am consulting.

I would, however, be willing to develop a large representative example. I 
would just need the content. From there, I could develop the XSLT that 
would write the FO that FOP uses (my usual method for writing FO - I 
generally only look at the FO to debug). So, if someone can provide or 
point to a large open-source XML document that I could convert with FOP, 
I'd give it a go.

Re: representative example needed






Hi Glen,

Do you want to say, that people listed under
http://xml.apache.org/fop/team.html (including yourself) are less
professional then RenderX? I do not think so. Or maybe it was the usual
complaint about open source & limited resources? I think, you'll agree, 
that
lack of resources is also often the case in many professional companies, 
and
does not necessary have something to do with open source.

FOP is popular. I believe, FOP is also good. I just want to find out, how
good it is. My hope is, that either the FOP team or one of the numerous
happy FOP users could provide me with a representative sample. 


Regards,
Ilya
