This error message is probably caused by the fact that FOP fails to create the PDF file in temporary directory "C:\Documents and Settings\[my profile]\Local Settings\Temp\xxe667\" Thus, the real problem should have been reported by FOP. In order to spot it, please use the tip explained here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/statusTool.html > > Is there something simple I can do to resolve this? Yes. I would suggest to uninstall XXE 3.7 and all the add-ons you may have installed and instead, download and install the latest version of XXE Personal Edition. After that, please get an evaluation key to turn your Personal Edition into an Evaluation Edition. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/evaluate.html This will allow you to test "DITA|Convert to PDF" with the latest DITA and FOP add-ons. I'm almost sure that this upgrade will help. > I've seen interesting results from the same command on my home PC, but need to > demonstrate the usefulness of XML Mind at work.
