If you render xsl-fo, you can get pfd code, but you have to render it
with a rendering engine (That somehow makes sense, doesn't it?).
xsl-fo is just xml.
But you are also right, if you set the content type to text/pdf, then
you could instruct the browser to launch a rendering engine plugin
(instead of having a rendering engine on the server side). However, I
have not seen any such plugin / or any built-in browser support for
that. Maybe, some one else has seen that?

my rockers? I'm thinking that a PDF rendering engine is not
necessary.

Hi,
you could create pdf's directly with a library such as iText,
http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/
or use a rendering engine, a list can be found at

Hello,
I need help getting started with PDF generation using XSL. My intent
is to create PDF document reporting from my website. What do I need
to get started? Here is my development platform: .NET, XSLT 1.0
Can PDF's be created with pure XSL transformation, or do you need a
print-engine of some sort?
Karl..
