Hi Jon,
why should MS support a proprietary format of another firm, here Adobe? I
really don't believe that there is such a tool from MS.
And XSL-FO has nothing to do with Java. It's also a XML-representation. What
you could need, is an "XSL-FO to PDF"-converter like FOP from the
Apache-team (xml.apache.org). XSL-FO you will get by stylesheets. Maybe
DocBook is interesting for you. It's a standard for discribing documents.
And for DocBook there are stylesheets available, which can transform the
DocBook-representation to HTML or XSL-FO. ... And then with FOP from XSL-FO
to PDF. But FOP is from "the Java world".
