last year in SoC I spent quite some time trying to get exactly this to work. After a week or so of digging around it appeared to me that most of the non commercial FOP implementations are far from complete. Converting to xml works most of the time but useful pdf conversion is simply not free. I think Fyodor is using something commercial, but I forgot what it was exactly. Perhaps he will comment here :)
Well, I've never tried what he is doing (converting Nmap output to a PDF). But I do use XML processors for the Nmap man page and book. Right now I use all open source tools in converting from XML to PDF. I use jw/OpenJade which process the XML with DSSSL. I would rather use XML-FO, but I didn't have much luck with brief Apache FOP testing. So I tested a trial version of RenderX's XEP. That may be what you are thinking about. That didn't work well for me, and plus it is proprietary software, so I went back to OpenJade for now.
