I have got about 200 xml-Files. The filenames have been listed in an additional xml-file.
Can I produce within one operation 200 pdf-files with the same filenames, but extension .pdf using xsl-fo without manually typing the output filenames?

Yes.
You could have an XML file containing the filenames,
and then have an XSLT file that reads from it and acts on each one.

(something like the following...)
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="root/file"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="file">
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(.)/whatever"/>
</xsl:template>

Many thanks! But this is not my problem.
It seems that I have to manually launch conversion and storage actions for each file.
Is there a possibility within Stylus Studio to control it by a kind of batch file or to control St.St. operations by external commands?

Yes.
In the bin directory underneath where it was installed,
there is a StylusXslt.exe program that will run the
transforms from the command line.

There is also StylusXql.exe for XQuery, StylusValidator.exe
for validation, and StylusDiff.exe for XML differencing, all
from the command line.
