No formatting in PDF output from DITA

I'm sure that this is a rookie mistake, but for some reason I can't get PDF output from DITA to show any formatting. My PDF output from DITA (using the supplied stylesheets) just consists of a page with all the text, but no formatting -- no carriage returns, no character formatting, nothing.
HTML output is fine though.
I've noticed that there aren't *any* parameters associated with the DITA to PDF stylesheet: surely this isn't right?

Hi,
Thank you for contacting us.
The Oxygen 9.1 version does not offer a complete support for transforming DITA Maps.
We improved DITA support in Oxygen 9.2 and along with a special DITA Maps viewer you will also have
DITA-OT Ant transformations.
For PDF you can transform with the IDIOM FO Plugin and choose XEP as a desired FO engine after installing it in Oxygen.
You can see some of the features in the 9.2 version here:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxyg ... 01610.html but the installation kits are not anymore available for download.
The Oxygen 9.2 version will appear in a couple of days but if you want access to a beta please write us at 'support at oxygenxml dot com' and we will make a link available to you.
Regards,
Radu
