REAL LIFE CASE STUDY

I'm a professional programmer who uses fop & php  to create complex mail
merges. Sometimes the  data has over one million records and or tables
in the letters (statements etc). FOP is certainly a very useful tool for
me because it produces the actual PDF files. Alternative packages like
PRES and Mailshot cost over £2000 a license and only work on Windows.
With Ubuntu I can use php to process the data and then call FOP from the
php or command line to turn it into printable letters. Having FOP saved
the company I work for alot of money and helped me promote Linux in the
workplace.


BTW thanks for reporting this as a bug. It is now in Intrepid Main repository.
