xml to pdf without tool in java

[Krc]

Hello members,

is it possible to generate a pdf-file from xml without using any tool, but only with programmation in java (or using xslt,...). Also the last step: xsl-fo to pdf

Regards,
Katja

Certainly, just code the tool in Java. Or better yet, use an open source FO processor written in Java. Please see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ .
