    Am I right to say, FDF forms are best for generating documents/forms with
    fixed layout.

    I am looking at, what would be a good approach to generate PDF docs, when
    the layout is not fixed, and contains dynamic data.

    Would that be generate HTML pages on the fly and convert it to PDF? Are
    there any java classes, available commercial or free software, which can
    convert HTML to PDF.

    thanks,
    Ted
