I found out that this can be done with TeX. In fact with ConTeXt.
ConTeXt has a build in xml parser, so it is very easy to make pdf 
files out xml documents.
More info is on http://www.leverkruid.nl/context/

After installing the docbook macros do the following:
If the docbook file is named test.xml
make a file test.tex with following content :
\input xtag-docbook
\setupindenting[medium]
\setupheadertexts[section][pagenumber]
\setupheader[leftwidth=.7\hsize,style=slanted]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupitemize[each][packed][before=,after=,indentnext=no]

\starttext
\processXMLfilegrouped{\jobname.xml}
\stoptext



Then issue the following command

 texexec --pdf test.tex

And a pdf has been made. Simple, no ?
