If all else fails: you could try to use the XSLT debugger from VBXML.com to make sure your XSLT proces is correct (i.e. you actually produce the FO needed/wanted). Next, simply call FOP and check the PDF. You don't need to learn Java to use FOP (actually, I hardly know any java at all). What yo

You could use Xalan, the xslt processor used in fop, to do the transformation from xml to fo. After changing the fo document you can call fop to produce the pdf.   But that is probably just a workaround. Perhaps you can check the fop source code for calls to Xalan?   Just my $0.02,   Mich

Hi, If you use Xalan as XSLT processor you might use the -param switch to do what you want. -PARAM name value (Set a stylesheet parameter) As far as I know you need to use for the entire stylesheet, just like you would when passing parameters to templates. See also: http://xml.apache.org/xa
