Mark, I do not pretend to be an expert on this - I setup my pdf olinks using Bob's excellent book plus some guidance you have posted in the past. However, have you tried adding <currentDocid/> in the <configuration/> of your POM and then using the sitemap in your olinkdb.xml (as I believe this provide the location of the documents).

Hello, In the past I have successfully set up Olink resolution for HTML. I have read and tried to implement http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/OlinkPrintOutput.html#PdfLinkingSetup But I'm not managing to do the same for PDF. A clickable link of the Olink is there in the PDF, but with no valid destination. This is with docbkx-tools 2.0.14, so DocBook XSL 1.76.1 and FOP 1 (I think 1.1). My little test is at https://github.com/markcraig/DOCS-47. (There's only one Olink, in the para at line 20 of book.xml<https://github.com/markcraig/DOCS-47/blob/master/src/docbkx/book.xml#L20>.) The main part of the target database document<https://github.com/markcraig/DOCS-47/blob/master/src/docbkx/olinkdb.xml> for the test is minimal: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!DOCTYPE targetset[ ... <!ENTITY book SYSTEM '../../target/target.db'> ]> <targetset> <document targetdoc="book" baseuri="book.pdf">&book;</document> </targetset> Although Olink debug messages make it look like the stylesheets are finding a match for the link, the .fo is missing information. In the build output, I see: Olink debug: cases for targetdoc='book' and targetptr='chapter' in language ''. Olink debug: CaseA matched. Olink debug: CaseA key is the final selection: book/chapter/ But the .fo has an external-destination with no actual destination: <fo:basic-link show-destination="replace" external-destination="url(#dest=)" ><fo:inline>link to the next chapter</fo:inline></fo:basic-link> If I remove the baseuri value from the <document> element in the target database document, then the external-destination attribute changes a little: <fo:basic-link show-destination="replace" external-destination="url(#dest=chapter)" ><fo:inline>link to the next chapter</fo:inline></fo:basic-link> What should I do differently for a valid destination to be generated? Thanks for your advice. Regards, Mark
