Suddenly everybody is obsessed with pdf-reports

Before I had no need for pdf and now it seems everybody wants pdf's that cannot be produced by crystal reports for .NET. Since I am a simple guy I also don't want to spend money for buying some component which probably doesn't do exactly what I want.

So I start browsing the net and yes I find xsl-fo as a language I have been experimenting a little with it and it seems abt for the job especially when you combine it with xslt

Basically it comes down to getting the data in xml and transforming it and sending it to some fo processor which creates the document you want.

More will follow but now I have to get this done first
