Sorry but the answer is no. The reason for that is (Excerpts from 
https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsltng/current/README.md ):

The expectation for paginated output is to use HTML+CSS.

We don't have, nor intend to force our users to purchase, Prince XML 
(https://www.princexml.com/) or Antenna House 
(https://www.antennahouse.com/formatter-v7). Moreover these expensive, 
commercial, tools are not 100% Java, that is, not natively multi-platform.

Free, open source, Apache FOP, an XSL-FO based processor 
(http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/), should be sufficient to generate 
good PDF out of a DocBook document. This is currently the case with the 
DocBook XSLT 1.0 stylesheets.
