Good point, but I'd argue that a 1000+ page pdf is a niche target. Personally I'm looking forward to ripping out our report engine and using FOP because the legacy implementation requires a recompile if the layouts change. With FOP I just change the xslt and voila. Since our reports are generally in the 3-40 page realm, FOP is a good fit. As usual, YMMV, depending on project specifics.

With iText we create customized letters for all our students, all 27,000 of them in one large PDF. This is not possible with FOP (if it were, I would never have felt the need to start the iText project). br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
