Generating PDF in .NET using XSL-FO

Question

I need to generate a pdf in .NET using XSL-FO. There are no shortage of libraries to do this. What library would you suggest that I use and why?

Answer 1

This is an old question, I know, but none of the answers to date actually addressed the OP QUESTION. She asked for options for using XSL-FO, not "how to generate PDF using code?".

The primary non-commercial answer on the actual question is:

Apache.org Project's FOP

Formatting Objects Processor. It takes XSL-FO compliant xsl code and xml and generates PDF files according to the XSL-FO spec. There are several other commercial options:

• Ibex PDF Creator
• AntennaHouse
• RenderX

If you're looking for an open-source option that WORKS, FOP is it. The FOP is a Java library natively, but it has been ported to .NET via J# (That has it's own issues there I know) in the nFOP project.
