I tried that and got:

Mac-Pro:xqdoc2pdf lcahlander$ vi build.gradle
Mac-Pro:xqdoc2pdf lcahlander$ gradle myPdfDocument
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)
> Task :myPdfDocument FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':myPdfDocument'.
> Duplicate option name: 'format'.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug 
option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

I’ve been exploring the answer to that question recently. There are
two obvious avenues: through XSL-FO or through CSS. I’ve made both
work, though the DocBook 2.0 stylesheets for FO aren’t really as well
developed as the HTML ones.

Something as simple as this, should produce FO:

task myPdfDocument(type: DocBookTask) {
  // And tell the pipeline to validate with the schema
  option("schema", "https://docbook.org/xml/5.1/rng/docbook.rng;)
  input("source", "document.xml")

  output("result", "output.fo")
  option("format", "print")
}

I’ve produced PDF with CSS (via AntennaHouse) recently, see the xproc_pdf
task in build.gradle in github.com/xproc/3.0-specification/

Be seeing you,
  norm
