My answer assumes that a Java developer working for thomsonreuters.com
has integrated the XMLmind XSL-FO Converter engine in a server-side
application of yours (typically a Java Servlet).

This is quite easy using the Java API of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter.
Please tell your Java developer:

[1] To implement an com.xmlmind.fo.converter.ErrorHandler.
This ErrorHandler typically logs errors and warnings to the log of your
Servlet.

[2] To register a new instance of ErrorHandler with all the instances of
com.xmlmind.fo.converter.Converter she/he creates using
Converter.setErrorHandler.

The documentation of the Java API of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter is found here:

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/api/index.html

The XMLmind XSL-FO Converter engine allows to convert XSL-FO only to the
following formats:

    * RTF (can be opened in Word 2000+),
    * WordprocessingML (can be opened in Word 2003+),
    * Office Open XML (.docx, can be opened in Word 2007+),
    * OpenOffice (.odt, can be opened in OpenOffice.org 2+).

PDF is not supported. You need to use another XSL-FO Processor for that,
for example: Apache FOP, RenderX XEP or Antenna House XSL Formatter

* http://www.renderx.com/tools/xep.html

That's normal. The User Guide contains just a primer

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/user/sample1_java.html

for the Java developer. After reading it, this Java developer is
supposed to refer to the reference manual of API of  the XMLmind XSL-FO
Converter engine:
