Question

Not that it is all that entirely practicle, I have a particular customer that is wanting to turn off the title pages in their PDFs that are getting generated. I looked and looked through the DocBook FOP parameters and documentation and couldn't find a way to disable the titlepage. I found ways to customize however.

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

I ended up changing the document type from a book to an article. This removed the title page and everything else not needed.

OTHER TIPS

Use a PDF filter and strip away the first page?

I've just started looking into docbook and this is also what I'm trying to do at the moment. As far as I've read it is suggested to create a custom titlepage xsl (which could be genereted from your own titlepage.xml file - sample could be found under docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1\template)

It's explained here : http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html

You simply have to add this to your stylesheet:

<xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto"/>
<xsl:template name="book.titlepage.before.verso"/>
