Thanks, but we will not know anything about the look of the documents, it can 
be in any style. 
We are tryng to generate Statements(with bar chart, pie chart, texts and 
images), Check documents & regular documents(with text and images) and 
so, it is very difficult for us to create  a pre-defined common XSL for all 
these types of documents. 

Assume that I have a pre-defined XSL and am creating a XML documents at 
runtime, how do you flush out the contents to the pdf documents without 
keeeping them in memory and append all the remaining participants data to the 
same pdf?. We may use Inetsoft or iText or any other 3rd party software to 
generate the pdf if we are not able to use fop.

Thanks

Hi,

what about having an intermediate XML format for your contents that is common 
to all of your clients, and having different XSL style sheets for producing the 
actual XSL-FO? You might be able to factor out common stuff into an included 
XSL.

I might have not fully understood your requirements, though.
