Apache FOP is a print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects(XSL-FO). It is a library to read XSL FO objects and generate documents with specified output format. Here I have used pdf as the output format.

XSL FO is a part of XSL which is a markup language for XML document formatting. Follow W3school tutorial for XSL FO.
How Apache FOP generate PDFs.
I have generated javaFX form to enter the data and when I click the print button after filling data, PDF will be created in a folder called PDFs. source code for this available in https://github.com/laki88/PatientDischargeForm.
