Hi Kevin
This is probably a classpath problem (NoClassDefFoundError). You've got
to make sure that fop.jar (as well as batik and friends) are on your
classpath. Example:
java -cp fop.jar;batik.jar;<other-jars...> embed simple.fo testembed.pdf
Look at fop.bat as another example.
Don't try to compile FOP from the command line using javac. Use the Ant
build script instead and then use the generated fop.jar in your
application.
Another comment further down...
Please be so kind as to ask this sort of question on the fop-user
mailing list next time. Thanks and good luck!

Once you're here the conversion is already done. You need to set up the
logger and configuration BEFORE driver.run()!
