That seems a strange thing to do but yes that works fine. FOP just doesn't like html in the xslt. Replace all < with < and you get an empty document.

This is the entire text of the xml you attached: <ROOT></ROOT> -----Original Message----- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:georg.datt...@geneon.de] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 9:30 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: AW: ValidationException: Document is empty Hi everybody, Since nobody yet provided an answer, let's make it easier to debug. Here are a really short xml and a really short and simple transformation. The call to fop is org.apache.fop.cli.Main -d -xml test/xml/billing.xml -xsl test/xsl/billing.xslt -pdf c:\temp\test2.pdf Fop version is the latest trunk. Error message is: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: Document is empty (something might be wrong with your XSLT stylesheet). Confused is: me. What could be wrong with my stylesheet? (Yes, I know we don't like xml and xslts here, but obviously I can't provide anything else) Regards, Georg Datterl ------ Kontakt ------ Georg Datterl Geneon media solutions gmbh Gutenstetter Straße 8a 90449 Nürnberg HRB Nürnberg: 17193 Geschäftsführer: Yong-Harry Steiert Tel.: 0911/36 78 88 - 26 Fax: 0911/36 78 88 - 20 www.geneon.de Weitere Mitglieder der Willmy MediaGroup: IRS Integrated Realization Services GmbH: www.irs-nbg.de Willmy PrintMedia GmbH: www.willmy.de Willmy Consult & Content GmbH: www.willmycc.de -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Georg Datterl Gesendet: Freitag, 3.

It's been some time since our last quiz show and maybe this time we get a new winner. Anyway, here's todays problem: Given: * FOP 1.0, Batik 1.7, xmlgraphics-commons 1.4, xalan 2.7.1, xerxes 2.6.2, through maven, but I get the same results with a shortly-before-1.0-release version of trunk and XmlSpy * * A simple xml file * An equally simple transformation file, one page layout, a few blocks, two tables with blocks, two borders. Wanted: * A simple PDF, one page, no images. Problem: * When applying the transformation, I get a fo file which I can transform into a pdf. Everything works fine. * When running the xml and the xslt through fop (following ExampleXML2FO), I get the fo file which I can transform into PDF. Looks ok. * When running the xml and the xslt through fop (following ExampleXML2PDF) with MimeConstants.MIME_FOP_AREA_TREE, I get the area tree. Looks ok. * When running the xml and the xslt through fop (following ExampleXML2PDF) with MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, I get [org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder] -> org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: Document is empty (something might be wrong with your XSLT stylesheet). * When combining ExampleXML2FO and ExampleXML2PDF and using two transformations (XML->FO, FO->Area tree), I get a correct Area tree. * When combining ExampleXML2FO and ExampleXML2PDF and using two transformations (XML->FO, FO->PDF), I get a pdf, which should have one PageSequence with one page, according to fop.getResults(). I can't open the PDF in Acrobat (pdf corrupt and can't be repaired) That's it. No error messages, no hints. Area tree works, generating a pdf does not. Generating a fo and then a pdf works in XmlSpy. Does anybody see any reasoning behind that?
