How do I disable the titlepage when generating a pdf via docbook and fop?

Question

Not that it is all that entirely practicle, I have a particular customer that is wanting to turn off the title pages in their pdfs that are getting generated. I looked and looked through the docbook fop parameters and documentation and couldn't find a way to disable the titlepage. I found ways to customize however.

Answer 1

Use a PDF filter and strip away the first page?

Answer 2

I ended up changing the document type from a book to an article. This removed the title page and everything else not needed.
