Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Generating PDF: fop, passivetex and xfc (fo2rtf)reports
Hi Jean, I also tried out fop and passivetex, but with both I had problems (e.g. in fop with formulas and in passivetex with the style of the output). Now I use db2LaTeX http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/index.html and everything works fine for me.
