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.
