XFC is not able to generate PDF output format. It can generate RTF or 
WordML. So if you want to get PDF you must use some other FO processor. 
My favorite is XEP, but XSL Formatter is comparable in all aspects. 
There are also other FO processors on the marked but XEP and XSL 
Formatter are two that have special support in stylesheets -- you will 
get metadata in your PDFs, indexes with merged pageranges, bookmarks, etc.
