RE: [docbook-apps] Making PDFs in Windows

["David Goss" <dgoss@mueller-inc.com>]

Take a look at this chapter from the Docbook XSL Guide:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/InstallingAnFO.html

 

That guide, along with the Docbook Definitive Guide are indispensible. 98% of problems I’ve had are addressed in one of those these two books.

Personally, I use Cygwin, xsltproc, FOP, and a makefile for processing. (I’d kill to have a Unixy box at work instead of XP, but that’s really another matter).

Its not necessary to use Cygwin or MinGW.

 

I use a batch file that calls XSLTPROC and FOP to generate PDFs under Windows.

 

Check our Bob Stayton's book for more info.

Hi guys, have you ever used Docbook to generate PDFs in Windows?  Did you use Cygwin?  If not, would you recommend anything else?
