I you want to generate PDF from your application using XML, try FOP from apache. We are using it succcessfully for the last 7/8 months.

Heh, Mike
I used this article
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/10/09/xslfo.html?page=last
and wrote my first xsl -> fo -> pdf stuff about a month ago. And then I forgot it all together. Since you asked, I looked into my PC, and found my code, ant build file and result. I also used reverse search (from the code search the article) to find out the original article.
Try it, if you are almost as ignorant on this stuff as I was/am.
Have fun!

Thanks for the tips everyone.

The article looks good and FOP is mentioned in it.
