Hi, for most purposes you shold be fine with the DSSSL way, i.e. one of: (XML source)->openjade->(jadetex)->pdfjadetex->(pdf) (XML source)->openjade->(rtf)->MS Word/Acrobat->(pdf) (XML source)->openjade->(mif)->FrameMaker/Acrobat->(pdf) I'd recommend the first one if this does fulfill your requirements. We use the rtf output frequently as it allows non-DocBookers to insert remarks etc. into the rtf for reviews.
Other ways to consider: (XML source)->sgmlnorm+some script->(SGML DocBook 3.1-Source)->FrameMaker6+SGML/Acrobat->(pdf) (tested) (XML source)->FrameMaker7(+SGML)/Acrobat->(pdf) (untested) It depends on your other evironment. For "legacy" resons we went with the Frameaker6+SGML way for some time and hope for relief with FrameMaker7 which has not yet arrived.
