+
+What is FOP?
+------------
+
+Apache FOP is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects. It is a Java
+application that reads a formatting object tree conforming to the XSL 1.1
+Recommendation (05 December 2006) and then turns it into a PDF document,
+certain other output formats or allows you to preview it directly on screen.
+Note that not all parts of the XSL 1.1 specification have yet been
+implemented.
+
+Apache FOP is part of Apache's XML Graphics project. The homepage of Apache
+FOP is http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/.

+* The Java2DRenderer (and therefore the print and bitmap renderers) is
+ now offering the same quality as the PDF and PS renderers. Note:
+ There can still be little differences between PDF and Print/PNG/TIFF
