Lee, We put a dynamic PDF generator into production about 1 month ago following exactly this procedure using the XDK plugged into Oracle v8.1.6 to generate XML documents which are written to a temp directory. Our XSL files are static and the PDF's are rendered with fop 0.20.4 using the included FOPServlet. Then we send the generated pdf in a byte stream to the user's browser. The issues we faced with this approach are 1) FOP is very memory and CPU intensive. We needed to limit the size of the records processed by limiting the size of the result sets returned from the database. 2) Internet Explorer and Acrobat Reader do not always play well together when the reader is running as a plug-in. See MS KB articles Q252609 and Q293792. Good Luck, Richard Shonk Flowserve Corp. Programmer / Analyst Parts Distribution Center XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
