Mark,
I do not pretend to be an expert on this – I setup my pdf olinks using Bob’s excellent book plus some guidance you have posted in the past. However, have you
tried adding <currentDocid/> in the <configuration/> of your POM and then using the sitemap in your olinkdb.xml (as I believe this provide the location of the documents).
Regards
Nick

Subject: [docbook-apps] Olinks in PDF missing valid destination?
Hello,
In the past I have successfully set up Olink resolution for HTML.
I have read and tried to implement
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/OlinkPrintOutput.html#PdfLinkingSetup
But I'm not managing to do the same for PDF.
A clickable link of the Olink is there in the PDF, but with no valid destination.
This is with docbkx-tools 2.0.14, so DocBook XSL 1.76.1 and FOP 1 (I think 1.1).
My little test is at https://github.com/markcraig/DOCS-47.
(There's only one Olink, in the para at line 20 of book.xml.)
The main part of the target database document for the test is minimal:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE targetset[
…
<!ENTITY book SYSTEM '../../target/target.db'>
]>
<targetset>
<document targetdoc="book" baseuri="book.pdf">&book;</document>
</targetset>
Although Olink debug messages make it look like the stylesheets are finding a match for the link, the .fo is missing information.
In the build output, I see:
Olink debug: cases for targetdoc='book' and targetptr='chapter' in language ''.
Olink debug: CaseA matched.
Olink debug: CaseA key is the final selection: book/chapter/
But the .fo has an external-destination with no actual destination:
<fo:basic-link show-destination="replace" external-destination="url(#dest=)"
><fo:inline>link to the next chapter</fo:inline></fo:basic-link>
If I remove the baseuri value from the <document> element in the target database document, then the external-destination attribute changes a little:
<fo:basic-link show-destination="replace" external-destination="url(#dest=chapter)"
><fo:inline>link to the next chapter</fo:inline></fo:basic-link>
What should I do differently for a valid destination to be generated?
Thanks for your advice.
Regards,
Mark
