RE: xml->xsl->pdf

Chris,

I downloaded the Antenna XSL-formatter evaluation version and the 
Xhtml2fo.xsl, but I don't get it to work ("XSLT transformation is not valid 
XSL-FO").
I think I'm missing some basic steps here. I tried to use an arbitrary 
XML-file with this XSL, but that doesn't seem to be the right use.
If I read the XSL right, it seems to need a kind of HTML-document.
Can you give me some hints which steps to follow to convert an XML to PDF 
with Antenna or otherwise?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Rene

Max,
yup
Antenahouse have a great html2fo.xsl
http://www.antenna.co.jp/XML/downfree/Xhtml2fo.xsl I had a few problems 
with
it. But it's worth checking out. With a couple of tweeks i got it working.
