   Give the document to the constructor of your TranscoderInput.
If the Document is associated with another rendering (like say the
canvas) than weird things might happen (in which case you should
clone the document in memory).

   Otherwise if you are getting an error this way it's probably a 
bug.  When/where does that exception occur?  Can you provide a stack 
trace?

   For the PrintTranscoder (and currently only the PrintTranscoder)
you can call the 'transcode' method multiple times and it will 
'remember' the documents until you call the 'print' method.
