If you want to keep your original document’s style and layout settings, then you will want to configure ePublisher to use the PDF output format. However, if you want to directly control your document’s style and layout settings, then you will need to configure ePublisher to use the PDF - XSL-FO output format.

The PDF - XSL-FO format creates a PDF file for each of your source files, a single PDF file containing all source files within a group, or both. PDF - XSL-FO is recommended for producing a PDF output file that conforms to the settings you configure in ePublisher. These settings can be controlled independent of your source file’s authoring environment or they can be used to work in conjunction with your source file’s paragraph and character level settings. This format allows you to create and deliver PDF files that conform to the style and layout settings that you can centrally control in ePublisher. This format may be especially useful when mixing documents from different input formats or different layouts and/or styles.
