RE: [xsl] Can Saxon create intermediate XSL-FO files ?

2007-02-03 11:40:12
Because Saxon is my favorite XSLT processor, I've been using 
Saxon to create XSL-FO for years. Then I run the resulting FO 
document through FOP (Apache's Formatting Objects Processor) 
to get PDF files.

If you care enough, you can interface Saxon to FOP so they communicate via
SAX events rather than serializing and re-parsing. I used to have this as a
packaged option in Saxon, but found it too difficult to maintain with
changing FOP releases. I expect FOP is more stable nowadays; but the
performance gain might still not be worth the hassle.
