Correct. > > What are my options to render a PDF document (via FOP) using a CSS > stylesheet? Do I need to alter one or more XSL stylesheets? AFAIK it doesn't use CSS, In fact its the XSLT that transforms the docbook to XSL::FO that FOP renders that controls the styling IIUC. That doesn't use CSS either, you need to adjust the XSL styles, see FAQ #3 for a reference that gives some guidance. > > Would dblatex provide a less-complicated alternative?

Have never tried that specific tool, but my experience with HTML to PDF converters in the past has been that the results are not good. HTML and PDF are designed for different media, reflowable scrollable low density web pages and fixed size high density pieces of dead tree (or electronic facsimile thereof), and they really need differing layouts. YMMV of course.
