PDF Reports in servlets

Question

Are there any tools available to generate fairly larger reports ( 50-200
          pages) in PDF through
          servlets. Most of the available components ( KL groups Pagelayout ,
          EnterpriseSoft ERW ) are memory intensive
          and do not scale well for a large number of users.
          

Answer 1

Yes.

          FOP is the world's first print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects.
          It is a Java application that reads a formatting object tree and then turns
          it into a PDF document. The formatting object tree, can be in the form of an
          XML document (output by an XSLT engine like XT or Xalan) or can be passed in
          memory as a DOM Document or (in the case of XT) SAX events.
