Hi,
Thanks for the help Jeremias.
Command line worked fine. The problems seems to occur when running embedded
when the same FOP instance is called repeatedly for the multiple pdf
generations. Is there some kind of reset method that needs to be called on
FOP?
We debugged and pdfDoc was null in stopRenderer on the subsequent call:
public void stopRenderer() throws IOException {
pdfDoc.getResources().addFonts(pdfDoc, fontInfo);
pdfDoc.outputTrailer(ostream);
this.pdfDoc = null;
ostream = null;
pages = null;
pageReferences.clear();
pvReferences.clear();
pdfResources = null;
currentStream = null;
currentContext = null;
currentPage = null;
currentState = null;
currentFontName = "";
}

Information about configuring the logging backend can be found in [1].
Mostly we defer to the Jakarta Commons Logging documentation for that.
If you work with JDK 1.4 and later JCL logs to the Java Logging API by
default.
[1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.91/embedding.html#basic-logging
In your case, however, I don't think that a lot of logging will help a
lot. That's a pretty unusual exception. The NPE happens in
PDFRenderer.stopRenderer() on the line where the font resources are
added to the PDF. It looks like out of some weird reason the pdfDoc
variable is null again. I can only imagine this happening if the SAX
endDocument() method is called twice by the Transformer. I know that
certain Xalan versions don't always issue the right SAX events. Maybe
you hit such a problem.
Here's what I would do: Run your current document from the FOP
command-line and check if the same problem occurs. Setup FOP so you can
debug FOP and set a breakpoint in PDFRenderer.stopRenderer() and check
how many times this method is called. For a single rendering run, this
method must be called exactly once, not more, not less.
If my suspicion is right, try upgrading to the latest Xalan-J release.
If that doesn't help, get back here.
Good luck!
