Two options:

1: Install upstream wkhtmltopdf and it will just work.

2: For FOP you need to add back in all the PDF customization we removed.
This will only work for a limited period as they rely on customization
in Publican to work and they will be removed in 5.0.

You need to add the xmlns:perl name space, switch on highlight

<xsl:param name="highlight.source" select="1"/>

And then add any of the templates related to highlighting from

Cheers, Jeff.
