Hello Guillaume,

I'm using the RTF back-end and Word'97 with the Acrobat products to use 
DSSSL to generate PDF from an XML (or SGML) document.

Another option is using the TeX back-end to generate PDF.

I suspect Frame would also have a way of going to PDF using an Adobe 
product the way I do so with Word'97, so there would be another way of 
getting PDF.

To go *directly* to PDF using DSSSL, check out the commercial DSSSL engine 
named "DSSSLprint" from NextSolution in Japan:

I hope this helps.
