Hi LuxInteg,

For converting docbook, you shouldn't use FOP, but an XSLT processor. Consider XSLT 2.0, for instance with Saxon 9 (open source version available, very stable, continously maintained and updated). This part of the process should convert the XML to XSL-FO. Search for books by Tennison, she wrote excellent tutorial books on XSLT. For reference, there's only one and it's rather good: XSLT 2.0 and XPath 2.0 Programmer's Reference by Michael Kay.

For converting XSL-FO to PDF or HTML, you can use FOP, which is only capable of dealing with XSL-FO. For learning XSL-FO there are some books available, try Amazon.

One step you already took: becoming a member of the FOP list. In addition, consider becoming a member of the XSL mailing list as well, this includes XSL-FO.

Kind regards,
Abel Braaksma
