Scott: Thanks much(!) for the detailed answer. I agree that for now the XSL-FO "plumbing" is probably be a bit more than I can take on at the same time that I'm converting FrameMaker-based (dare I say FrameMaker-imprisoned?) content into DITA compliant XML. So for the time being I'll probably fall back to FrameMaker to generated PDFs. But longer term, I want very much to eliminate the need to use any proprietary tool to downgrade nicely structured XML (that is to say text-based) topics into a proprietary binary file format simply so I can deliver a coherent package of those topics in a PDF... Stated another way, my long-term goal is a completely open-source, standards-based workflow end-to-end... Cheers & thanks again, Riley
