Good alternative to FOP?

I'm currently using FOP to generate PDF from an XML file.

But I am facing two big issues :

  • First: FOP cannot manage OpenType Font files

  • Second: fo:float is not implemented yet

So it's impossible for me to produce the PDF I want with FOP.

I need to change FO processor and I would like to know what is the best processor to replace FOP (it has to work on both windows and linux)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Is XSL-FO still used?

XSLT has become the language of choice for a very wide range of XML applications. It is of course still used to produce XSL-FO documents for printing, but it is also used to integrate back-end software for Web sites.

What is FOP package?

Fop ⇒ trunk. Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and an output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output.

I've had very positive experiences with Antenna House Formatter for XSL - FO formatting. If you can go with the price tag that is. It supports both fo:float and OpenType
