Harriet,
FOP, and consequently Cocoon, does not do PS as a preliminary step to
generating PDF, rather writing it directly. This is a direction that Adobe
is moving, as well, pushing for PDF as a print format. You will find not a
few commercial printers using PDF in their pre-press workflow. Your
printer driver should handle translating PDF down to PS as necessary. Is
there a particular need for the programmability of PostScript?

Subject: Transformations to PS
I'm a newbie just beginning to pull together a transformation system (and
later, dynamic web component)for my organization. I have started small,
working with XSL to create only HTML and PDF formats. Today a coworker
asked
me about generating Postscript. I blithely answered, "of course," thinking
that PS comes before PDF. However, now that I think about it, I'm not sure
if Cocoon's transformation tools can do this for me. We don't need
something
formed for the browser or Adobe viewer, but rather something to go straight
to the printer without that interim processing. Any ideas?
Harriet
