Follow-up question: It was suggested to me that I look into XSL-FO to
satisfy my project's requirements (dynamically generate PDF files on a web
server using XML documents as the data source). Can anyone weigh in on the
topic of XSL Formatting Objects, and help me learn what tools are available
and currently being used to generate PDF files from XML?

Thank you in advance!
