Thanks for the prompt response Bryant. What I wanted to achieve is try to get the .fo using the same libs available to the specific FOP verison I am running from the command line. I am guessing it may not be possible to run the Transformer API directly from the command line like we do with FOP.
I know Saxon is an option, but then Saxon may use it's own version of the parser and transformer files which I want to avoid. I want to use the same parser and transformer files that FOP uses from the command line. Thanks, Anil. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2005 11:24 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: .FO outout Hi, Anil, Yes. To get the .fo file, run Xalan rather than FOP. For example: xalan -in mysource.xml -xsl mystylesheet.xsl -out myout.fo Then, to turn the FO file into PDF, you can use: fop -fo myout.fo -pdf mypdf.pdf You can also use this feature to separate FOP from Xalan. I use Saxon 8.5, so that I can use XSLT 2.0 and the run FOP against the resulting FO file.
