PLEASE HELP OK Toni, I did some digging in some books. It looks like you cannot go directly from your xsltproc file to a pdf. You need to output to an FO file (book says this is a type of XML, a typesetting language written in XML), then use a FO processor to output the PDF. Here is a link to info on installing a free Java-based FO processor, as well as sample commands to output the FO file and then to convert the FO file to a PDF. http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/InstallingAnFO.html This is Bob Stayton's site, a well known Docbook single sourcing guru.
