I believe, if I haven't completely forgotten all of
this, that you actually have call document.open()
before trying to use the xml conversion. Otherwise,
iText is attempting to write to a closed document.
Before a document is open is when you can add the
properties, encryption, etc. So try adding a call to
Document.open() before attempting to run the xml/xslt
conversions.
Hope this helps a little.
