    "Probably" possible to create a simple PDF, but you would have "fun" creating a tree for anything complex. A better approach, depending on your architecture would be to call a Java class (passing the necessary data) and have it create a PDF (using one of the open source PDF APIs). ...or an even better approach (IMO) would be to implement some sort of PDF service outside TX and pass the data to it (via HTTP,SOCKET,JMS,whatever).

    We had a web service to process xslt/xsl-fo to produce PDFs. It was based on Xalan/Xerces. Of you can call a batch file to run FOP - a batch file is provided with the software download (open source).
