Xalan is implementation of XSLT. Output format is XML, HTML or TEXT. If PDF
is TEXT file, I can imagine XSLT script which can transform FO to PDF. Am I
right? Therefore I am looking for such fo2pdf.xslt script. What do you
think? Is it reasonable?
Then I can imagine DocBook to PDF
This is not possible. PDF can be a text format but is generally in binary.
It would be impossible to process most of the required things using xslt
eg. images, markers, links, pagenumbers, layout, property resolving,
footnotes, floats.
Whats left would be extremely complex.

Hello all,
I am new to this mailing list, so excuse me if I ask already answered question.
Does anybody know about some XSL tranformation from Formatting Objects to
PDF or other formats? If I correctly understand FOP is java implementation
of such transformation. Don't you plan to rewrite FOP

FOP is an implementation of part of the XSL spec - so is Xalan, but
different parts of the spec.
Xalan converts XML to XML, and FOP converts XSL:FO
