Does anyone have any advice for me on this problem? I'm currently
evaluating a few different FO processors. I had no trouble getting the
other ones to work, but I like the feature list of this one.
Unfortunately, because of time constraints, if I can't get XEP working
soon, I'll have to choose another vendor.
BTW: I forgot to mention that I am using XEP.NET 3.8 on .NET 1.1.
Thanks!

[xep-support] Transforming XmlDocument (Containing XSL-FO) to PDF
I have a function that accepts an FO document in the form of a
System.Xml.XmlDocument and returns a PDF in the form of a Byte array.
Here's the function:
Public Shared Function TransformXslFOToPDF(ByRef
pXslFODocument As XmlDocument) As Byte()
m_log.Debug("Transforming XSL-FO to PDF: " &
vbCrLf & pXslFODocument.OuterXml)
'Holds the outgoing PDF stream
Dim lOutStream As New MemoryStream
'Get Xmldocument into Stream
Dim lInStream As New MemoryStream
pXslFODocument.Save(lInStream)
lInStream.Position = 0
'Get Stream into XmlReader
Dim lInReader As New XmlTextReader(lInStream)
lInReader.MoveToContent()
'Configuration settings for Formatter
Dim lConfigSettings As New Hashtable
lConfigSettings.Add("ROOT", "C:\Program
Files\RenderX\XEP.NET 3.8")
'FO Formatter
Dim lFormatter As New
Renderx.Xep.Formatter(lConfigSettings, Nothing)
lFormatter.Format("", lInReader, lOutStream,
Formatter.OUTPUT_PDF, lConfigSettings, Nothing)
Return lOutStream.GetBuffer
End Function
And here's the FO that exists within pXslFODocument:
<fo:root
xmlns:rx="http://www.renderx.com/XSL/Extensions"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master
master-name="my-page">
<fo:region-body margin="1in" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>Hello
World!</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
When I run this test case I receive the following error:
Exception: Renderx.Xep.XepInvalidOperationException
Message: startDocument: Invalid XSL FO source
'file:/C:/WINDOWS/system32/': 1 error found during validation
Source: Renderx.Xep.Public

Renderx.Xep.Sax.Adapter.XmlReaderToSax.Parse()
at Renderx.Xep.Formatter.Format(String
sBasePath, XmlReader reader, Stream outStream, String sOutFormat,
Hashtable htGenProperties, Logger logger)

Sandbox.Library.XML.Transformer.TransformXslFOToPDF(XmlDocument&
pXslFODocument) in C:\Documents and Settings\a122695\My Documents\Visual
Studio Projects\Sandbox\LibrarySandbox\Classes\XML\Transformer.vb:line
60
at Sandbox.Web.GetPDFFromXSL_FO.Page_Load(Object
sender, EventArgs e) in
C:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\WebSandbox\ASP\XML\GetPDFFromXSL-FO.aspx.vb:line 43
I assume this is related to the fact that the sBasePath parameter in
lFormatter.Format is set to a null string. I can't figure out what I'm
supposed to use this for. I've tried various different file and http
paths, but all of them error out. I just want to convert my
memory-based FO document to a memory-based PDF.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Leo Hart
