This might be useful if you're struggling with FOP to produce nice PDF.

Thanks to Russell Dickenson for reminding me about wkhtmltopdf, this tip was also posted a couple of years back by Christoph David Hermann http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc/browse_thread/thread/1d71734f698c8132/920adc6b30038238?lnk=gst&q=wkhtmltopdf#920adc6b30038238

wkhtmltopdf (http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/) is a lightning fast way to convert HTML to generate high fidelity PDF from HTML. Here are a couple of examples from the AsciiDoc website:

This command:

wkhtmltopdf -O Landscape http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/article-html5-toc2.html article-wkhtmltopdf.pdf

Generates this PDF file: http://www.methods.co.nz/tmp/article-wkhtmltopdf.pdf

This command:

wkhtmltopdf --zoom 0.8 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/asciidoc.css-embedded.html asciidoc-guide-wkhtmltopdf.pdf

Generates this PDF file: 
http://www.methods.co.nz/tmp/asciidoc-guide-wkhtmltopdf.pdf

I used the statically linked version (in my case wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1 Linux Static Binary (i386)) which renders links correctly. The Ubuntu 10.04 wkhtmltopdf deb package has reduced functionality (see http://madalgo.au.dk/~jakobt/wkhtmltoxdoc/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-doc.html).


Cheers, Stuart
