Pb running FOP
Hi, I cannot access the FOP-FAQ on the xml.apache.org web site, concerning the use of FOP, so I write directly to this list. I would like to apologise in advance because I am a real beginner in this field and I might not be using the right channel to ask my questions (let me know if this is the case). Situation: I have installed sun java v 1.31. I have transformed an .xml document into a .fo document using an .xsl document (with msxsl command line). I now try to transform this .fo document into a.pdf document. I have also installed msxml v 3. Problem: To do the transformation, I am using this command: java -jar fop.jar doc.fo doc.pdf -d I then got a lot of error messages (Using SAX Parser org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser - Building formatting object tree - Warning: Unknown formatting object- ERROR: nul). Questions: Is this the right way to process an .fo file? Do I need to install something else to make things working? What else should I do? Thank you in advance and sorry if this question has nothing to do on this list. Arnaud Carrard. Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Pb running FOP
Hi Arnaud, That's about right, but try putting the -d argument before the doc.fo and doc.pdf. Hopefully you will get a better debugging message. It sounds like your .fo file has an unknown object in it, although the message isn't very helpful. You might want to include your .fo file with your message so one of us can take a look at it.

RE: Pb running FOP
I had a similiar problem to this when running an FO file output from MSXML through FOP. If my memory serves correctly, it was caused by the encoding, which is UTF-16 by default. You need to set it to UTF-8. This may be because MSXML by default places some binary data in the first byte or two of the file that FOP doesn't like. Sorry I don't have more precise details on this - I had the problem, I tried changing the encoding, it worked, I moved on. -Original Message- From: Arnaud Carrard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 7 August 2001 6:18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Pb running FOP Hi, I cannot access the FOP-FAQ on the xml.apache.org web site, concerning the use of FOP, so I write directly to this list.
