It's rather unusual for me to have slides as PDF, because slides are meant as an oral presentation tool.

On FreeBSD you may want to build the JDK with the port java/jdk14. FOP is also available in a port IIRC and installs in $(PREFIX)/share/java/classes, so you have to declare the entries there in the CLASSPATH environment variable to use FOP on the command line with something like "java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop". FOP is now my PDF generator of choice for small documents. Comments on docbook-apps are welcome. -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/
