Problems with Cocoon using FOP

[Daniel Pfuhl <pf...@bauing.uni-weimar.de>]

Hi

is there anybody who can tell me something about the procedure
rendering pdf-files from xml?
I tried this many times but I always come into some truble...
It would be very nice if somebody could send me an working
example of it - especially an xml-file with the appropriate xsl-file.

thanks for helping me out ...

Daniel

what happens when you try the example files in the cocoon distribution?

If you just get a white page, then you are probably using MSIE. It has a bug
(see archives).
you can solve it by testing with Netscape or adding something like
"?fixIE=.pdf" to the url.

here is a very basic page:
http://www.mediamagie.com/cocoondemo/foptest/source.xml?fixIE=.pdf

source at:
http://www.mediamagie.com/cocoondemo/foptest/

it uses an image with a hardcoded link to my site, so you have to be online
if you want to try it on your local machine.
