Default XSL Stylesheet for PDF?
Hi All,
I'm working on Ubuntu 10.04 (x64). I installed the FOP package, and
now trying to create a PDF from O'Reilly's DocBook sample at
https://prod.oreilly.com/external/tools/docbook/docs/authoring/docbook_source/.
$oreilly-handbook$ fop -xml book.xml -pdf book.pdf
results in an exception:
Oct 25, 2011 3:34:41 AM org.apache.fop.cli.Main startFOP
SEVERE: Exception
org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: XSLT file must be specified for the
transform mode
I believe i need to add `-xsl <stylesheet>`. But I don't know what the
default stylesheet is.
Would anyone be able to point out the default PDF stylesheet?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

My bad. When the other tools did not work, someone (on a mailing list)
suggested I use Apache FOP.

Jeff,
Despite your question is more about Docbook specific points, than FOP, I'll try to give you an idea.
If you are using Docbook, try the following 2-step transformation.
1. Use xsltproc to create a FO file using default Docbook:
xsltproc --xinclude --output book.fo <path_to_your_docbook_xsl_stylesheets>/docbook-xsl-1.76.1/fo/docbook.xsl book.xml
As a result you will get .fo-file: book.fo
2. Using FOP try to create PDF: fop book.fo book.pdf
Hope this helps.
P.S. If you are using Windows OS, replace the slash to the opposite one (sorry, but I forgot about what slash is reverse and what is normal).

Best regards,
Eduard Tibet

OK. xalan also complains about a style sheet. These style sheets seem important.
$ xalan -in book.xml
XSLT Error: Failed to process stylesheet. (line -1, column -1.)
XSLException Type is: XSLTProcessorException

OK, thanks.
Out of curiosity, how do you create a PDF from a XML (DocBook) book. I
haven't had any luck with docbook2pdf, xsltproc, xalan, fop, etc. I am
amazed at how difficult the designers/architects have made this
process. Here's what the sample book looks like (the chapters are
similar):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd">

Re: Default XSL Stylesheet for PDF?
Posted by mehdi houshmand <me...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jeff,
FOP is an FO processor, as such it takes FO as input, not XML (even
though FO is XML, XML isn't FO). You need to make sure your input is
valid FO, then either use the -fo parameter or no parameter since it's
the FOPs primary input.
If you were curious the -xml input is used in conjunction with an XSLT
(thus the -xsl parameter) to transform said XML file to FO. There is
no "default" PDF stylesheet, this mechanism is merely a helper since a
lot of users create FO using a transform.
So assuming your book.xml is valid FO, the command would look like:
$oreilly-handbook$ fop book.xml -pdf book.pdf
Hope that helps
Mehdi
