Allow me to clarify what I said. Sorry for the re-post... My problem was in fo:list-block:
<fo:list-block space-before="6pt" space-after="6pt" font-family="Times"> <fo:list-item> <fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()"> <fo:block font-family="ZapfDingbats">?</fo:block> </fo:list-item-label> <fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()"> <fo:block> This is the first entry in a plain unordered list. A check symbol is displayed in the bullet. </fo:block> </fo:list-item-body> </fo:list-item> <fo:list-item> <fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()"> <fo:block font-family="ZapfDingbats">?</fo:block> </fo:list-item-label> <fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()"> <fo:block></fo:block> </fo:list-item-body> </fo:list-item> </fo:list-block> I was missing content in 2nd <fo:list-item-body><fo:block>. The PDF file rendered normally (I think FOP returned a warning), but an error was given when the file was opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Unbeknownst to me, my XML file did not include data where it was expected. What did I do? I wrote this list and they recommended I output the FO file using XALAN.BAT, and look for the problem. I found the problem by searching all of the fo:list-block items... Clay Leeds wrote: > Ethan, > > I suspect there's a problem in your XSL-FO file.
