RE: [xsl] Quality between XSL:FO PDF and InDesign PDF

["byomokesh" <byomokesh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If InDesign PDF is better impressive, I think it will be better convert XML
to PDF go through InDesign. But it will take more time to convert compare
than XSL:FO PDF. 

Thanks

A quick summary, I think, would be that XSL-FO is focused on the flow 
of content while InDesign is focused on the page.

Quality varies based on the vendor, not on the technology.  With 
XSL-FO rendering I see quality differences between free and 
commercial XSL-FO engines running the identical XSL-FO instance.  The 
commercial engines I've used are very close and are practically 
interchangeable, but the free engines don't compare.

I've seen some impressive output from InDesign, but I wouldn't want 
to use it on the project I did for 3 million pages of paper in a 
single run (60,000 customized 50-page booklets).

Because the two technologies address different user requirements, I 
think it is impossible to answer your question.  Use whichever 
technology meets your needs.

I hope this helps.
