There are commercial alternatives, but those are out of the question due
to the license.
There's the programmatic PDF generation option with PDFBox, but that
will require a MAJOR redesign of the export.
Then there's the option of building our own patched version of FOP with
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2469 included. It wouldn't be
the first time we use a patched library, and it seems to be the solution
with the least amount of work needed.
