James, Ran into something similar...this may help: Make sure that the fop JAR file version inside Cocoon is the same as the one you use when you serialize. I had fop-0.20.4.jar running from the command line and fop-0.20.3.jar running inside Cocoon and noticed some anomalies.
Hope this helps!

However, when I try to view the finished PDF, The Acrobat reader reports this error in the status bar: "An error has occurred while trying to use this document." What is interesting is that if I serialize FO to xml rather than using fo2pdf, then the FO works fine. If I save the XML and create a new pipeline entry to render that saved xml as a pdf using fo2pdf then it works. So the transformation seems to be OK, and rendering static XML as PDFs is OK. Has anyone experienced similar problems - and if so how did you resolve it ?? Please Help Me , James __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
