Hi Remo, you should really try to ask your questions on the docbook-apps [1] mailing list. Those are questions related to XSLT customization rather than transforming the resulting FO into PDF, and that list will be much more suited.
You may also want to have a look at the documentation possibly shipped with your DocBook stylesheets: there are lots of parameters to customize the output. If, however, no parameter suits your needs then you will have to write a customization layer above the stylesheets and this requires some XSLT skills. But again, if you ask your questions on the docbook-apps mailing-list you will get useful hints within the hour.

Okay, I have to do it in two steps: java -jar saxon.jar -o myFormattingObject.fo "myDocBook.xml" c:\doc\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl forcae-page-count=no-force call C:\Daten\spoc7\doc\fop\Fop -fo myFormattingObject.fo -pdf "myPdf.pdf" But the empty page's still there...

I think the only problem I have now is to pass the parameters to the XSL document. Fop -xsl C:\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl -xml "myDocBook.xml" -pdf "myPdf.pdf" How do I pass this parameter forcae-page-count="no-force". To this xsl? I Tried a lot of ways, nothing worked... like: Fop -xsl C:\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl forcae-page-count="no-force" -xml "myDocBook.xml" -pdf "myPdf.pdf" Any idea?

How do tell the XSL to not create the page 2 with the small title and > not to create an empty page? The empty page 3 might be because the attribute force-page-count="auto" is present on the page-sequence. This needs to forcae-page-count="no-force". I've no idea how to do that in Docbook. I also don't know why the 2nd page appears. Have you asked these questions on the docbook forum too? > > 2. How do I tell the XSL to create Bookmarks in the PDF? I know how to do this in raw XSL-FO, again no idea how in docbook XML, sorry! The exact method used to creating bookmarks is different depending on which version of FOP you are using? > > 3. How Do I create header and footer for this document? (I think this is > a docbook issue). But the header and footer should not appear on the > first page as well as not on the index page. This is possible using raw XSL-FO constructs, but I don't know how to do it in docbook XML. Sorry I can't help you more, but I get the feeling most of yopur questions would be better suited on a docbook mailing list. Chris
