At my work, i had to generate PDFs based on the outcome of a workflow. My first thought was to use xml, xsl-fo. I spent 100s of hours trying to get everything to work properly with Apache FOP (mostly a layout issue with the XML stylesheet. It seems really limited) [1]. In the end we went with PrinceXML [2]. Much easier solution. 1. https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ 2. https://www.princexml.com/ https://www.princexml.com/
