How to debug DITA Legacy PDF transformation?

I want to debug a DITA Legacy PDF transformation, however the instructions I found only pertain to the newer PDF2 transformation:
Is it possible to use the XSLT debugger also for legacy transformations?

TIA
Frank

I've just noticed that I can run the debugger when switching to the XSLT Debugger perspective.

Before I had tried to debug the scenario from the scenario context menu in Editor perspective.

Sorry for the false alert.

Hi Frank,

We have not had feedback on the legacy PDF transformation for years, maybe you should consider switching to the new PDF transformation instead.
If you have further difficulties with the debugger (finding out the XML on which to apply it and the main XSLT stylesheet) we could try to help further.

Regards,
Radu

Thanks for your kind offer. Unfortunately we've inherited the legacy transformation from the client and probably cannot switch to the newer PDF transformation so easily.
