Big Faceless Report Java Generator project is a Java application for converting source documents written in XML to PDF.
Built on top of the Big Faceless Java PDF & Graph Libraries, the Report Generator combines these features and wraps an XML parser around them.
Using JSP, ASP, XSL, or similar, creating dynamic PDF documents directly from a database is now as easy as HTML.
