FOP: java, changing constantly, getting better. a typical open source non-stable project (thats not a criticism) XEP: from RenderX, a slightly unusual small company who are really interested in big contracts not individual sales. more stable, more complete implementation, pretty good quality PassiveTeX: uses TeX to render FO, so traditional TeX setup. good at what it does, but incomplete coverage of the spec, and requires specialized TeX knowledge to hack Unicorn FO: uses TeX, with preprocessing. I havent tried it recently Arbortext: I have never seen a copy IBM: have something, I know no more Antenna House: Windows application which uses Windows GDI. pretty good commercial implementation, but free evaluation
summary: immature marketplace.
I'm a newbie trying to get a lay of the landscape too.
Is Sgml/Dsssl a better approach to produce PDF with less pain?
