Maybe I'm missing some context here, but as a general statement of FOP's
capabilities, that's completely wrong. According to the FOP home page
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/index.html):

  Output formats currently supported are PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area
  tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and TXT. The primary output
  target is PDF.

I myself have done many direct-to-PDF renderings with FOP.
