Starting out with FOP

[Franny <fw...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,
I am just starting out with FOP, and am a bit bewildered by the
instructions. I would be grateful for any advice on how to set it up.
Specifically, I have downloaded the zip file and run the bat file, but
that's it!

Looking at the instructions, am I supposed to create a new environment
variable for Java? There appears to be an existing one- bit confusing.

I know a bit about xml tags and what I want to create by the way.

Thanks,

Franny

Hi,

To check you have Java installed, open a command file and type "java
-version". It should reply with something like: java version
"1.6.0_15". The fop.bat command will find it and use it.

Like you I started out with FOP just recently. But first I got the O'Reilly book "XSL-FO" by Dave Pawson. Then downloaded a sample FO file and ran it like this: 

call C:\fop-0.95\fop.bat -fo %fofile% -pdf %pdfile%  1> %logfile%  2>&1

My interest is to convert SVG files to PDF. The O'Reilly book showed me how to do that by wrapping them in just a few lines of XSL-FO.

Hope that helps.

P.S. I hope the Irish vote No again.
