    <p>I'm evaluating PDF rendering technologies. XSL-FO is our chosen path because its an open standard and our source data is XML. What experiences have people had with the various implementations of XSL-FO? </p> <p>The implementations I've found so far are:</p> <ul> <li><p><a href="http://www.renderx.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">renderX</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.ecrion.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ecrion</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="http://www.antennahouse.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Antenna House</a></p></li> <li><p><a href="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Apache FOP</a></p></li> </ul> <p>The criteria I'm using to evaluate are: performance, stability, supportability, price, template management tools. Also important: good java APIs and ability to run on Unix.</p> <p>Whatever product we end up choosing, we will also be asked to find consulting services to help us build our templates, so the ability to find developers versed in the the technology is important.</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>The Ecrion folks did a <a href="http://www.ecrion.com/Products/XFUltrascale/PerformanceComparisonGraph.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">performance comparison</a> which is disputed by the <a href="http://www.ecrion.com/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19" rel="nofollow noreferrer">renderX</a> people. However, renderX has so far declined to offer their own benchmarks or tests for comparison. I guess I'll have to run my own benchmarks.</p> <p>So far I'm leaning toward Ecrion because it supports WordML output, and the renderX guy was kind of rude.</p>

    1. COa long overdue follow up: I ended up rendering our invoices with Apache FOP. There were some minor formatting issues, but they were all solvable. The rendering service I built on FOP was plenty fast for our invoice run of a few thousand invoices once a month. saved about $30k-$40k in licensing fees.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
