Most probably the problem is caused by an unhandled exception during PDF rendering, causing the error apge generator to kick in. General hints for debugging this kind of problem: 1.) Save the file to disk instead of open it in IEx. Try to open the asved file in Acrobat Reader. If this works, the problem is with your IEx configuration. 2.) Search the Cocoon logs for log entries related to the URl for the document. Look if there are exceptions. In case of generating PDF, you'll also have to examine the stdout and stderr log of the servlet container, the serializer writes a few problem diagnostics there (a long standing bug). 3.) If there are problems logged (or even if there aren't any), check whether your file(s) work with command line processors. 3a) Run your XML+XSL through the command line application from Xalan or Saxon. This will tell you whether there are problems with your source XML or the style sheet. 3b) Run the resulting FO file through the FOP command line application. This will tell you whether there are problems with PDF rendering. Try to open the generated PDF with Acrobat Reader. BTW your problem is here: <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-name="page" The XSLFO spec has been changed between the final CR (apparently used by your book) and the final RC, replace "master-name" with "master-reference" (and get a more recent book).
