It's much better to use one of the many XML/XSL based packages and generate from there. In this way you can extend the document definitions as needed which with TeX/LaTeX is possible but not the preferable solution in my book.

I would be interested in what you > find out. FOP is actually a very useful tool and while I haven't worked with it for a while it is quite robust. The only main problems I had with it were: * On large dataset documents it would grind to a halt. * If a entity was too large for a single page things would get messed up. I know from keeping an eye on the fop-dev list that the speed thing has improved in recent releases and there have been multiple discussions of the splitting algorithm over the past couple of months, but I haven't paid real close attention to those. --- Michael Wentzel Software Developer Software As We Think - http://www.aswethink.com

RE: Dynamically Generate PDF
Hi, I was working on the same problem and have been told of a java utility to convert XSL formatted XML into PDF: http://xml.apache.org/fop/ I have not tried it yet and I suppose it seems like the long way round - but if you are using XML as a format it might be your solution. Another drawback might be that the XSL specification is not yet stable and could change considerably. I would be interested in what you find out.
