Hi François, sorry for digging up this old topic again, but I face exactly the same problem now and it might be really helpful if you could tell me how you solved it.
I updated my application from FOP 0.93 to 0.94 recently and everything worked fine. I kept using Xerces 2.6.2 as another resource in my application depended on this, but this didn't affect FOP 0.94 at all. Now Xerces hat to be updated, too, and no matter which newer version I use (I tried 2.7.1 and 2.8.1), they all cause the error you mentioned when I try to merge two documents into one with the help of iText: java.io.IOException: Rebuild failed: trailer not found.; Original message: PDF startxref not found. I also tried updating iText from 1.4.8 to 1.5.3 and even 2.0.5 - still no change. So I am quite understandbly interested in what caused your problem and how you solved it in the end. Thanks for your help :-) Cheers Michael On 15.06.2007 15:30, fritaly wrote: > Hi, > > I have a java server whose responsibility is to generate PDF reports by > using FOP 0.20.5. > > Sometimes, I have to generate many reports from a single input XML file so I > have a loop (so no multi-threading here) where, for each iteration, I create > a new temporary file and let FOP render the PDF into it.
