Hi Kobayashi.

I have seen many open source tools and libraries that are great software, as
there are many which are very poor. Commercial tools trend to be good
software, but, like open source ones, there are many poor commercial
software out there too. Choosing either depends on many factors. In my
context, an open source library for XSL-FO to PDF conversion is wellcome
because the zero cost would enable it to be more easily accepted by the
company. But it don't discard the possibility of afford a commercial tool.

Cheers,

Celio Cidral Junior.
