Yes.

Ok, I understand. Thanks for clarification.

No worries, just thought to point it out.

FATAL_E (2007-01-15) 18:12.18:658   [core.xslt-processor] (Unknown-URI)
Unknown-thread/TraxErrorHandler: Error in TraxTransformer:

As I understand it the file
file:/C:/docs/documentation/src/documentation/skins/pelt/xslt/fo/document2fo.xsl
 is throwing an exception at Line#: 50; Column#: 59. Makes me wonder what that 
might be.

I looked at your original mail again:

The generator url is not valid (if you go with file naming conventions).
You are trying to generate SAX events from a binary file
({project:content.xdocs}{1}aNewFile.pdf). 

I think you want {project:content.xdocs}{1}aNewFile.xml and then e.g.
request http://localhost:8888/index-aNewFile.pdf. This would then
trigger your custom match with the file
{project:content.xdocs}index-aNewFile.xml. 

Then you need to change it to something like:

<map:match pattern="**aNewFile.pdf">
  <map:generate src="{project:content.xdocs}{1}aNewFile.xml" />
  <map:transform src="{project:resources}/myNewFile2fo.xsl" />
  <map:serialize type="fo2pdf" />
</map:match>

That should work fine. Please try and report back.
