We have tried xsl:fo before and abandoned it because we continually had
issues with it and it didn't match up that well.

We use AlivePDF and have a process where we take pixel positions of text
lines and add lines to the pdf in those positions using the characters on
those lines.

If you change formats in the middle of the line then you need to add
multiple lines to the pdf for a single line. It is a fairly complex
solution but it works very well.
