Do I need to use Apache FOP ?

171003Oct 1 2008 — edited Oct 1 2008

Hi,

I am configuring Oracle BI Publisher with APEX following the instructions in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html .

After completing step *3 Installing and Configuring Oracle BI Publisher on Windows* I am able to print reports in desired PDF, DOC, XLS format etc from APEX and all the functionalities seem to be available.

So my question is why should I follow step *5 Installing and Configuring Apache FOP* ? Is there any other extra benefit of doing that ? Am I missing anything here ?

Please advise,

Thanks
