DocBook to PDF Output Customization

You should start from a copy of the file [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/titlepage.templates.xml and customize it. The instructions for the spec file can be found here.

An example of spec file:

<t:titlepage-content t:side="recto">
    <mediaobject/>
    <title
        t:named-template="book.verso.title"
        font-size="&hsize2;"
        font-weight="bold"
        font-family="{$title.font.family}"/>
    <corpauthor/>
      ...
</t:titlepage-content>

Apply [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks/docbook/xsl/template/titlepage.xsl to the title spec file. The result is an XSLT stylesheet (for example, mytitlepages.xsl).

The customization layer is the stylesheet that will be applied to the XML document. The mytitlepages.xsl should be imported with an element like this:

<xsl:import href="dir-name/mytitlepages.xsl"/>

The path to the logo image must be inserted in the book/info/mediaobject element of the XML document.

A quick way is to duplicate the transformation scenario DocBook PDF that is included with Oxygen XML Developer and set the customization layer in the XSL URL property of the scenario.
