I assume you have some Java programming background. Check http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/embedding.html The example that is closer to what you are doing is: ExampleXML2PDF (referenced in the above link). > > > Alexios Giotis wrote >> * Make sure the JVM has enough heap (-Xmx).

I'm using 1.1 RC1 and JRE 1.6 on AIX 5.3. Update to FOP 1.1 release. Finally, I have noticed some performance improvements using fopFactory.setStrictValidation(false); Alexis Giotis > > > > ----- > just starting out with FOP - don't hurt me! > -- > View this message in context: > http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/Performance-improvement-suggestions-tp37754p37757.html > Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
