That depends on the content of the application.
I know of a (closed source) project that serializes JAVA objects
using java.beans.XMLEncoder
These XMLs are read with JDOM and the Output goes to iText.
I was surprised to see this solution, but it works.
As always: there is more than one way to do it.

There isn't any.

I haven't used it, but the developer of UJAC has writen new
XML->PDF functionality: http://ujac.sourceforge.net/

The FOP has been around as long as iText and it is used in lots
of important projects. I wouldn't discard XML-FO as an option
in favor of iText because XML-FO 'isn't stable'. In some projects
it's better to use iText, in other projects XML-FO is the way to go.
