Hi, Can you tell us exactly which files you are using when you invoke fop, please. Your command should look something like fop -xml foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -pdf foo.pdf judging by the files you have attached. I am guessing you missed out the -xml/-xsl flags, leading FOP to believe you were supplying an FO file.
When an XML and XSL files are supplied, FOP will perform an XSLT transform using the Xalan XSLT Xalan library (I am guessing you will need to know more about this stage in your project), generating the FO document stream that is then processed to generate the output in the desired format: XML + XSL -> [XSLT transformer] -> FO -> [XSL:FO processor] -> PDF This initial stage just saves on from having to do the transform first. I hope this info helps, Peter On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 12:43 PM, italocardwell <italo.cardw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ill be upfront I know nothing about XML.
