PassiveTeX is a library of TeX macros which can be used to process an XML document conforming to the Formatting Objects (FO) spec. This provides a relatively easy mechanism to convert FO files to Postscript and PDF. For example, to generate a PDF file from an FO file, run pdftex --interaction nonstopmode "&pdfxmltex" file.fo WWW: http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/Software/passivetex/
