This is getting increasingly away from FOP and closer to Batik.....nevertheless, I am continuing along this thread to get some more inputs.
I have added all the jar's under batik's lib folder into my project as well as my Weblogic domain (where other libraries are placed). However, when I try to run the application I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/batik/transcoder/TranscoderException. Is there anything that I am missing. (I found a similar query by another person who was using Tomcat. The reply simply asked him to include the jars under the web container's lib directory). In my case, I have all the jar's already in my Weblogic's application folder.

I think you need all JARs from the lib directory of the binary distribution except batik-svggen.jar and batik-swing.jar. Not sure. I'd have to do a trial-and-error. pdf-transcoder.jar contains all classes needed by FOP's PDF Transcoder. > A few requirements in my application is that I'll be embedding custom > fonts and using batik just for SVG to PDF conversion. Now for the tricky part. Font configuration for the new transcoder is not documented, yet, and it's a bit different than in FOP 0.20.5 and may even change again until the first release of the redesign code. Here's a snippet to create an Avalon Configuration Object with the font configuration: import org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.Configuration; import org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.DefaultConfigurationBuilder; import org.apache.avalon.framework.container.ContainerUtil; import org.apache.batik.transcoder.Transcoder; import org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException; import org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderInput; import org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderOutput; import org.apache.batik.transcoder.XMLAbstractTranscoder; import org.apache.batik.transcoder.image.ImageTranscoder; [..] //Transcoder instantiation Transcoder transcoder = transcoder = new org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder(); [..] //Font configuration DefaultConfigurationBuilder cfgBuilder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder(); Configuration cfg = cfgBuilder.buildFromFile(new File("src/xml/pdf-transcoder-cfg.xml")); ContainerUtil.configure(transcoder, cfg); [..] //Transcoder properties supported by the PDF Transcoder int dpi = 300; transcoder.addTranscodingHint(ImageTranscoder.KEY_PIXEL_UNIT_TO_MILLIMETER, new Float((float)(25.4 / dpi))); transcoder.addTranscodingHint(XMLAbstractTranscoder.KEY_XML_PARSER_VALIDATING , Boolean.FALSE); transcoder.addTranscodingHint(PDFTranscoder.KEY_STROKE_TEXT, Boolean.FALSE); [..] //On with the normal transcoding process as documented in Batik... The XML file for the font configuration would look approximately like this: <cfg> <fonts> <font metrics-url="file:C:/Dev/FOP/temp/fonts/FUTURAL.ttf.xml" kerning="no" embed-url="file:C:/Dev/FOP/Temp/fonts/FUTURAL.ttf"> <font-triplet name="Futura" style="normal" weight="200"/> <font-triplet name="Futura" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-url="file:C:\Dev\FOP\temp\fonts\ARIAL.TTF.xml" kerning="no" embed-url="file:C:/Dev/FOP/Temp/fonts/ARIAL.ttf"> <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-url="file:C:\Dev\FOP\temp\fonts\ARIALBD.TTF.xml" kerning="no" embed-url="file:C:/Dev/FOP/Temp/fonts/ARIALBD.ttf"> <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/> </font> </fonts> </cfg> There's one potential problem, though: I don't know what version of the PDF Transcoder is in the Batik 1.5.1 release. That part didn't get released properly. It could be that the font configuration doesn't work, but I hope so.
