I don't know if is in the same category of software you're discussing, but i found a library sometime ago for generating PDFs from C++: http://libpdfxx.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html
Nope, doesn't even come close - converting from FO XML and getting all the pagination correct in the output is a hugely complex job - probably why there's only ever been one solution that's even come close to getting it right - and even they (XEP that is) don't handle everything.
And BTW - who cares XEP is open source or not. We're only interested in the result (and the cost) not the software. what about using pandoc to convert docbook to pdf ? Has anyone looked into this? Robert Ramey
