FOP creates corrupt PDF? (was: ValidationException: Document is empty)
You are correct. I inherited the file and thought I might migrate to FOP1.0 without much work. Anyway, now I changed my transformation and I'm back to present a true FOP problem. Bill.pdf is created with fop-1.0 as provided by maven. Output.pdf is created by fop-trunk. Output.pdf looks quite correct (except for minor layout problems), but Acrobat Reader 7.0 can't open Bill.pdf. I can see some differences in the file, but I don't know what they mean.

RE: ValidationException: Document is empty
Did you read the links I included? Xslt does not contain fo. Xslt can include fo tags which would make it xslfo which can be transformed with an xml to generate fo. Xslt can be used without any fo tags to generate web content. FOP requires either xslfo + xml or fo which is that intermediate result of xslfo + xml you're seeing in the 2 step transformation. The difference between the xslt and xslfo is the fo tags which tell it how to generate a document, which provides information such as page breaks which you wouldn't have on the web. While your xslt file with the < tags in it did pass an xsl validation with one free program I found to verify syntax, it's not standard code to start a tag with < and end with >. If you can break the code with variables I'd like to see a sample. I use plenty of variables in my xsl. If you cannot transform your xml+xslt->pdf with fop 1.0 with the < references converted to < please send what error message you're seeing. That works fine here. -Original Message- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:georg.datt...@geneon.de] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 11:44 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: AW: ValidationException: Document is empty Hi Eric, > I think you're a bit confused.

RE: AW: ValidationException: Document is empty
If you can write your own code you could do the 2 step transformation to avoid the issue without writing the FO file to disk. FOP allows you to receive the results as streaming bytes which you can send right back in as an FO SAXSource. -Original Message- From: Georg Datterl [mailto:georg.datt...@geneon.de] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2010 12:17 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: AW: AW: ValidationException: Document is empty Hi Chris, I think that's the important point.

This is why use of disable-output-escaping is so strongly discouraged... When you use XSLT to transform your XML and serialize it to disk, the d-o-e is applied and you get a valid FO. However, when you feed XML and XSLT to FOP, your transformation result is never serialized. The d-o-e directive is never applied, and a poorly-formed XML data structure is passed to FOP, resulting in your error. You will need to rewrite your transformation to avoid use of d-o-e. It is an unfortunate hack that really shouldn't have been included in XSLT; it is never necessary, and while it enables some quick hacks that would be more complicated otherwise, it also is prone to mysterious breakage like your case. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd http://crism.maden.org/ > MISSING: land of free, home of brave.

Hi Eric, You are right. But. Of course there's a but...

Quite understandable, I think. And the whole transformation is no longer valid xml, since the fo tags are mixed into the xsl tags.

The call to fop is org.apache.fop.cli.Main -d -xml test/xml/billing.xml -xsl test/xsl/billing.xslt -pdf c:\temp\test2.pdf Fop version is the latest trunk. Error message is: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: Document is empty (something might be wrong with your XSLT stylesheet). Confused is: me. What could be wrong with my stylesheet? (Yes, I know we don't like xml and xslts here, but obviously I can't provide anything else) Regards, Georg Datterl -- Kontakt -- Georg Datterl Geneon media solutions gmbh Gutenstetter Straße 8a 90449 Nürnberg HRB Nürnberg: 17193 Geschäftsführer: Yong-Harry Steiert Tel.: 0911/36 78 88 - 26 Fax: 0911/36 78 88 - 20 www.geneon.de Weitere Mitglieder der Willmy MediaGroup: IRS Integrated Realization Services GmbH:www.irs-nbg.de Willmy PrintMedia GmbH:www.willmy.de Willmy Consult & Content GmbH: www.willmycc.de -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Georg Datterl Gesendet: Freitag, 3. Dezember 2010 18:22 An: 'fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org' Betreff: ValidationException: Document is empty Hi folks, Another funny question from yours truly. It's been some time since our last quiz show and maybe this time we get a new winner. Anyway, here's todays problem: Given: * FOP 1.0, Batik 1.7, xmlgraphics-commons 1.4, xalan 2.7.1, xerxes 2.6.2, through maven, but I get the same results with a shortly-before-1.0-release version of trunk and XmlSpy * * A simple xml file * An equally simple transformation file, one page layout, a few blocks, two tables with blocks, two borders. Wanted: * A simple PDF, one page, no images. Problem: * When applying the transformation, I get a fo file which I can transform into a pdf. Everything works fine. * When running the xml and the xslt through fop (following ExampleXML2FO), I get the fo file which I can transform into PDF. Looks ok. * When running the xml and the xslt through fop (following ExampleXML2PDF) with MimeConstants.MIME_FOP_AREA_TREE, I get the area tree. Looks ok. * When running the xml and the xslt through fop (following ExampleXML2PDF) with MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, I get [org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder] -> org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: Document is empty (something might be wrong with your XSLT stylesheet). * When combining ExampleXML2FO and ExampleXML2PDF and using two transformations (XML->FO, FO->Area tree), I get a correct Area tree. * When combining ExampleXML2FO and ExampleXML2PDF and using two transformations (XML->FO, FO->PDF), I get a pdf, which should have one PageSequence with one page, according to fop.getResults(). I can't open the PDF in Acrobat (pdf corrupt and can't be repaired) That's it. No error messages, no hints. Area tree works, generating a pdf does not. Generating a fo and then a pdf works in XmlSpy. Does anybody see any reasoning behind that?
