iText is a library that allows you to generate PDF files on the fly.

The iText classes are very useful for people who need to generate read-only,
platform
independent documents containing text, lists, tables and images. The library
is especially
useful in combination with Java(TM) technology-based Servlets: The look and
feel of HTML is browser dependent; with iText and PDF you can control
exactly how your servlet's output will look.

iText requires JDK 1.2. It's available for free under a multiple license:
MPL and LGPL.

XML/XSL sources.

FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the world's first print formatter
driven by XSL
formatting objects and the world's first output independent formatter. It is
a Java
application that reads a formatting object tree and then renders the
resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported
are PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and
TXT. The primary output target is PDF.
