I had the same problem, you should try my code : try {
XSLTInputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile, xslFile); XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"); Driver driver = new Driver(); driver.setLogger(log); driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF); driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(pdfFile)); ContentHandler contentHandler = driver.getContentHandler(); parser.setContentHandler(contentHandler); driver.render(inputHandler.getParser(), inputHandler.getInputSource()); } catch(Exception e){ System.out.println("FOP Exception " + e.getMessage()); } As a matter of fact, you must pick up de contentHandler from fop and put it in the parser.... Hope it'll help you...
