SIGSEGV when running Fop
Hi, I use Fop-0.20.1. Java SUN SDK-1.3.1 on Linux and always got a SIGSEGV when running 'java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop infile.fo outfile.pdf. I'm not too stron in Java, but it seems to me strnge to get SIGSEGV when running Java app. Does anybody know the solution?

FO to PDF XSL tranformation
Hello all, I am new to this mailing list, so excuse me if I ask already answered question. Does anybody know about some XSL tranformation from Formatting Objects to PDF or other formats? If I correctly understand FOP is java implementation of such transformation. Don't you plan to rewrite FOP to set of transformations processed by xalan for example? Excuse me my questions. Why have you decided to implement fo2xxx as Java classes and not as XSLT? Is that reason bad speed of transformation engines? Or Java is more readable than xml file? Thanks a lot.

Re: FO to PDF XSL tranformation
Xalan is implementation of XSLT. Output format is XML, HTML or TEXT. If PDF is TEXT file, I can imagine XSLT script which can transform FO to PDF. Am I right? Therefore I am looking for such fo2pdf.xslt script. What do you think? Is it reasonable? Then I can imagine DocBook to PDF transformation as sequence of two transformations: xxx.dbx docbook2fo.xsl = xxx.fo fo2pdf.xsl = xxx.pdf. Is not it nice? Thanks for your comments.

FOP is an implementation of part of the XSL spec - so is Xalan, but different parts of the spec. Xalan converts XML to XML, and FOP converts XSL:FO (which is XML) to other formats which usually are not XML. They are both written in Java because the authors like Java :-) Does that help explain things?

OK. Keiron, thanks for your explanation. Libor Keiron Liddle wrote: This is not possible. PDF can be a text format but is generally in binary. It would be impossible to process most of the required things using xslt eg. images, markers, links, pagenumbers, layout, property resolving, footnotes, floats. Whats left would be extremely complex.
