Unlike free-to-use Personal Edition, XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition can do this out of the box (even if you need to use customized XSLT stylesheets and/or custom XSLT stylesheet parameters.) Please give "DocBook|Convert Document" a try. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/docbook/docbook_menu.html#docbook_convert_menu This works by executing process commands (e.g. XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl or XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook5/xslMenu.incl). Process commands are similar to ant tasks, though simpler and more specialized.

Apache FOP has never been part of the distributions of XMLmind XML Editor, whether Personal Edition or Professional Edition. Apache FOP 1.0 is available as a *plug-in* for Professional Edition. The plug-in is a specially packaged .zip file, which contains fop.jar among other .jar files. Please download and install this plug-in by first selecting menu item "Options|Install Add-ons" and then by selecting "Apache FOP 1.x XSL-FO processor plug-in" in the list displayed by the dialog box.
