Also, there are some alternatives to FOP:
Antenna House:

XEP, from RenderX:

PassiveTex:

Unicorn Formatting Objects:

Personally I use Antenna House and FOP. Antenna House is extremely easy to
use and seems to implement the spec more completely, while FOP integrates
well with the other Apache Java/XML projects.
In addition to the XSL FAQ section that Jim mentions, there's a good FO
introduction online at:
http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible/updates/15.html
Also, Brett McLaughlin has online a chapter from Java and XML that includes
FOP/FO discussion at:

hello jon,
u wanna take a look at the xsl:fo as u will use this to generate
instructions that can then be translated to pdf using a FOP processor
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3.html
take a looksee at the FOP stuff at apache
http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html
for the simple things its fairly easy once u have set up FOP processor, but
learning xsl:fo is definately an investment.
good luck, jim fuller
