Convert xdoc document to PDF
Hi All,
I am writing a program similar to pdf output plugin to convert xdoc pages in
xml document ( xdoc similar to http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/index.xml),
and would like to generate the pdf output using fop (0.95 on Mac os 10.5) as
shown in the following. However I am getting the following errors from
console.
(Location of error unknown)org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException:
Error(Unknown location): For fo:simple-page-master, fo:region-body must be
declared before fo:region-before.
1. Where can I find the xsl to convert from xdoc to fo. I find one from
apache forrest
distribution( apache-forrest-0.8/main/webapp/skins/common/xslt/fo/document-to-fo.xsl)?
Or Am I using the wrong one for converting from xdoc to fo?
2. Is anything wrong with my code?
Regards,
Alan

Your questions are appropriate for the Apache FOP mailling lists:

Hi Brain and Ferdinand,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will try to go with second approach and make
some changes to the stylesheets and see if it works.
Cheers,
Alan

Hi Alan,
as far as I remember the stylesheets for pdf-generation have moved from
core into the pdf-output-plugin.
So you may be looking at outdated style sheets. Which might also explain
the errors you are getting (some changes were required in the
transformations to accomodate that last fop-update).
Check out
plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf/resources/stylesheets for
the current stylesheets (from head).
After using Forrest with the pdf-plugin for the first time, you will
also find the stylesheets in
build/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf/resources/stylesheets.
Yet I agree with Brian, these style sheets were designed to be used in a
pipeline, so you may have to make some major adjustments.
Regards,
Ferdinand Soethe

It would take extra steps to use that stylesheet for what you are
trying to accomplish. The stylesheet is not general purpose; that is,
it's part of the following process:
1) skinconf.xml (from the Forrest skin system) is aggregated with the
requested document
2) XInclude elements are processed
3) Links are rewritten
4) Then the document as modified above is passed through
document-to-fo.xsl, with a few more parameters set
To make document-to-fo.xsl a standalone tool, you would need to manage
steps 1-3 yourself. Or drastically modify the stylesheet.
