Title: Message
Well, FOP hasn't changed since 0.20.5 because its development branched some time ago. The developers said they would not improve the current branch and would concentrate on the new branch.  But there has not been a release from the new branch yet.

Hey Bob,
 
I gave up on FOP many moons ago,  it just seem to lag way behind.  Is that still the case?

This is a bug in FOP.  Here is what the FO link looks like:
 
<fo:block>my entry,
  <fo:basic-link internal-destination="id428223">
    <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="id428223"/>
  </fo:basic-link>
</fo:block>
 
The link text is an empty <fo:page-number-citation> element whose content is generated by the XSL-FO engine.  But FOP doesn't make it a link.  If you put any actual text inside the fo:basic-link element, it will form the link on the text you add, but the page number is still dead.

Thanks for the reply.
 
The page numbers are dead; ther are no hyperlinks anywhere. Do I have to enable these links in some magic way?
I have found no documentation about this anywhere.
 
I am generating the PDF using Oxygex with Saxon6.5.3 and the Apache FOP.

Try clicking on the page numbers.  They should link to the correct page.  The text of an indexterm is not a hot link because it can have many page references.

Subject: [docbook] Hyperlinks in PDF indexes

Is it possible to generate a PDF file using docbook where the
index items are hyperlinks?

I have a large document that needs to be both printable and readable
on-line (hence PDF). An index that simply gives page numbers is not
very convenient on-line.
