I don't see why. The only limitation of FOP is that, unlike XEP (and probably Antenna House), it cannot remove duplicate page numbers in an index entry.

The ditac preprocessor generates everything needed to have *any* XSL-FO processor create a usable index section. [1] The ditac preprocessor performs all the indexterm processing and creates a ditac:indexList element in the dita_lists.ditac_lists file. The ditac:indexList element represents the logical contents of the index section. See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/howItWorks.html#howItWorks -- Search for "ditac:indexList" [2] Then the XSLT stylesheets converts ditac:indexList to XSL-FO See ditac_install_dir/xsl/fo/ditac_indexList.xsl [3] Then the XSL-FO processor converts the XSL-FO to PDF, RTF, etc. > > my experiment using ditac with -index param to generate pdf with FOP > returns empty page > Ditac fully supports DITA Indexing. The corresponding code is extensively tested. We generate indexes all the time for our needs. Therefore my guess is that your DITA source does not contain any indexterm element.
