Hi,
I guess my setup is wrong - perhaps someone can help? I downloaded and
extracted fop-0.93 (fop-current-bin-jdk1.4.zip) to
C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\fop-0.93. I copied the jar files from the /lib directory
into my CLASSPATH. Then I tried to run FOP from the command line. I tried first
to make an FO file using Fop -xml xml.xml -xsl xsl.xsl -foout foo.fo. The FO
file is created fine but then when I try and create the PDF from the FO file
that FOP has created for me it fails! See below (Also at the foot of the
message I have included the contents of my xml, xsl and FOP's FO file)
Thanks in advance for any help, Ian.
C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\fop-0.93>Fop -xml xml.xml -xsl xsl.xsl -foout foo.fo
"C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\java"
C:\PROGRA~1\APACHE~1\fop-0.93>Fop foo.fo foo.pdf
"C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jre1.5.0_10\bin\java"
