Hi Thomas,
maybe you want to have a look at my modification. It converts the XML-file
with saxon (that's the "sc.bat" shell command) and passes the result of that
transformation to fop.
I had some difficulties with automatically viewing the resulting PDF: The
only way I found was to rely on Windows? ability to launch the application
associated with a file type. so <shell platform="Windows" command="%R.pdf"
/> should launch your default PDF-Reader (Acrobat maybe). XMLMinds message
window stays open until you close Acrobat.
* The copyProcessResources elements rely on some XML entities, you might
want to change that behaviour according to your needs.
* there is an environment variable envolved (%ICONDOC%), you might want to
change that one too ...
This modification works fine for me though it might not be a "clean"
solution. Maybe it suits your needs.
Cheers
Patrick
<command name="icon.genPDF">
<process>
<!-- until the upload takes place, all actions are done inside a
temporary directory. -->
<mkdir dir="resources" />
<mkdir dir="callouts" />
<mkdir dir="images" />
<!-- add attribute selection="true" to copyDocument if you want to be
able to process explicitely selected element -->
<copyDocument to="__doc.xml">
<resources match="(https|http|ftp)://.*" />

<!-- escape any percent-sign if its not a xxe-variable! -->
<shell platform="Windows" command='sc.bat -o %R.fo __doc.xml
%%ICONDOC%%\docbook\xsl-icon\icon.xsl' />
<shell platform="Windows" command="fop.bat -c
%ICONDOC%\tools\fop-0.20.5\conf\userconfig.xml %R.fo %R.pdf" />
<!-- calling acrobat from this location is easier than anything else -->
<shell platform="Windows" command="%R.pdf" />
<upload base="%2"> -->
<copyFile file="%R.pdf" to="%2" />
<copyFile file="%R.fo" to="%R.fo" />
</upload>
</process>
</command>
To actually start the process, you might use this command. It opens a file
chooser dialog.
<command name="icon.convertToPDF">
<macro>
<sequence>
<!-- use saveFileURL instead of saveFileDir to have the user enter a
filename -->
<command name="selectFile" parameter="saveFileURL" />
<set variable="view:FILENAME" expression='"%_"' />
<get expression="$view:FILENAME" />
<command name="icon.genPDF" parameter='"%0" "%1" "%_"' />
<get expression="$view:FILENAME" />
<command name="alert" parameter="PDF in %_ erstellt." />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
