Problem with Publican and PDFs

[Nathan Thomas]

Hi Deon,

I was running FOP 1.0 from updates-testing. A downgrade to 0.95 allowed
me to build PDFs successfully. I found the following bug report against
FOP:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689930

So it looks like this is a known issue.

Thanks for the help!

Nathan
