Not to interject.  But if the docs are valid XML flavored Docbook, then you
might be able to use ANY xslt parser in conjunction with the docbook xsl
stylesheets (versus the DSSSL ones).

I use Sablotron alot, and it has generated html/xhtml docs in this method just
fine. Getting to the PDF in this route would require the addition of an FO
(formatter) component for windows.  I'm sure it's possible, but i haven't
ventured there yet.

A windows Sablotron binary is avail here:

There is also the MSXSL engine (and others), but i haven't messed with it too
much on the cmd-line.
