Most FOP users will want to download the latest binary distribution, which is ready to run "out of the box." However, a source distribution will be preferable if you fall into one of the following categories:
Binary distributions include "-bin" in their names, and can be downloaded from a FOP Distribution mirror.
You must first determine which of the two main development branches you wish to download, "maintenance" or "redesign". See Development Introduction for more details on the choices, and for the CVS tags to use when downloading the "maintenance" branch.
There are several ways to obtain a source distribution. Please note that they are listed from least current to most current:

With any source distribution, you will need to build FOP from the source files. For details please see the "Build" page on the documentation tab for the version you've downloaded.
FOP Archive distributions are linked from the upper portion of the Apache FOP Download Mirror Page and can be downloaded from the FOP Archives binaries & source links.
