--> You cannot convert xsl to rtf, because xsl is not an input file, it's the conversion specification. Please read this short tutorial to understand how the toolchain works: http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/how_it_works.html --> I've created a short Flash screencast ( http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/images/xslutil2.htm ) to show you how to proceed. [1] For now forget about xslutilc.bat and instead double-click on xslutil.exe. This will start a graphical application. [2] The first thing to do is to register PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.rtf, your conversion specification with XSL Utility. (Clicked the "Add" button.) [a] I have chosen to call the conversion poToRTF. I've specified that it creates files ending with ".rtf". (Fields "Name:" and "Extension:".) [b] I have specified that the input file is transformed using C:\tmp\PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.xsl. ("Transform" tab, "XSL stylesheet" checkbox and field.) [c] Assuming that PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.xsl creates .fo intermediate format, I've specified that this .fo intermediate is to be processed using XFC (our technology). ("Process" tab, "Run XSL-FO processor" checkbox and combobox.) [3] Next you have to specify the purchase order you want to convert to RTF. In the screencast, this purchase order is C:\tmp\po12345.xml. ("Input file" field.) [4] Next you have to specify where the purchase order once converted to RTF is to be created. In the screencast, I've typed C:\tmp\po12345.rtf in the "Output file" field. [5] Finally you have to click the "Convert" button and wait for a few seconds for the .rtf file to be generated.
