FOP (now in Java) takes the FO output of something like XT and produces a PDF file.

FOP is still early alpha. The Java version (0.4.0) doesn't do any more than the Python version did. So it still supports a limited number of formatting objects and properties on those objects. Limited testing has been done and nothing is optimized.

If you are interested in trying it out and letting me know what you'd like added to make it useful, please have a look at http://www.jtauber.com/fop/ where you can get a jar. You'll also need XP and SAX.
