Hi,
You might as well check out PDFGenerator available via http://
www.cluster9.com/ .
This comprises a complete framework that was written with WO in mind
and allows you to design your PDF templates like WO components. It
also offers some nice additions like charting and barcode support.
The demo does not seem to be online right now but you can contact
David Terán via e-mail if you are interested.

Hi,
we have a similar problem for WO generated forms, reports, etc. One
idea is the following:
Capture the HTML output from a generated page and save this to an
HTML temp file, automate Safari or FireFox to open and print this
document via AppleScript, capture the PostScript output via a cups
backend filter and convert it via the OS X "pstopdf" tool or
Distiller into PDF.
I would prefer FireFox because in printouts the page wraps of
tables better than Safari.
Are there any better ideas?

I know of FOP, but just found iText
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
iText seems to be well documented and feature rich. At least for my
second task, this might be a good solution to further evaluate
options.
My PDFs need to be high-resolution to be printed on high-resolution
imaging/printing machine.
But: Do we have a PDF lib, which especially integrates well with WO?
