I do have the XSLT Programmers Reference by Michael Kay. I also have the XML Bible. In the XML Bible at the bottom of page 437-438 (under topic XSL Style Sheet Document) it states:
"You cannot use XSL to transform to or from non-XML formats like PDF, TeX, Microsoft
Word, PostScript, MIDI or others."
It then goes on to say:
"XSL transformation language works for XML-to-XML conversions, not for anything else."
If XSLT can transform into anything, then why isn't there an XSLT to transform XSL FO into various popular formats such as PDF or Microsoft word? Currently you need a custom program to do it.
