Hi all, I'm trying to create a pdf with no luck. The story is: I can create a blank book (docbook_create book test) and turn it into a pdf just fine But using my actual project, I am getting: [ERROR] -2 it then says: projectname.pdf created but inside output, there is only 'projectname.fo' The project's docbook is valid, and works for html, htmlhelp, etc. I noticed on these forums someone had a problem where <ulink> gave them a problem so that pdf didn't work, yet html, etc, did. Perhaps I have a similar tag that causes problems with PDF's? I would give a log of the full error messages but I'm unsure how to dump the error log when trying to compile a pdf. There are of course a ton of 'column width' errors, but the only odd-error i see is the '-2' error When I erase all but 1 chapter of the project, it generates a pdf fine, so there is something wrong within one of the following chapters, unfortunately there is so much text that it wont be fun, if possible, to find out exactly where manually.... thanks for help!

Hmmm, I found out where the problem is I suspected it had to do with an 'informaltable' because that was the only type of tag I was using that was standing out as a possible problem So I went and del'd the informaltables 1 at a time until I found which one causes the problem...now I just need to re-create this table and perhaps it'll show me WHY this table causes a problem. I'll share this info if I find out anything usefull (and it looks like it took me no time to figure this out, but I only posted on this forum after spending a LONG time trying to figure it out, its just that right after posting I actually found something )
