Hello,

I have a question concerning the xml to pdf transformation.

I need to generate a pdf out of an xml.

I searched to web to find a good solution for that and came across iText. This 
is what I found out so far:

- iText supports a xml to pdf transformation via the SAXiTextHandler
- SAXiTextHandler supports basic pdf Elements but no AcroForms
- As far as I found out in the posts there is no plan that iText will supprt 
that in the future

I am about to extend the iText Handler to be able to handle AcroForms.
But before I do that I have some questions:
- Is there a reason why the iText xml to pdf is not developed any longer?
  E.g. no resources, technical problems, there is another framework that covers 
that problem, ...
- Did anybody extend SAXiTextHandler already and wants to share his code and 
experience?
- Does anybody know another framework that is targeting the xml to pdf 
transformation that supports forms? (apache fop does not)

Thanks for your answers!

If I extend the SAXiTextHandler I can make the code available if someone is 
interessted in it.

Greeting Patrick
