Troubleshooting FOP Errors

If the transformation works well, but the FOP generates an error, obtain a copy of RenderX's Unofficial DTD for XSL Formatting Objects. You can find this at http://www.renderx.com. Although this DTD is not official (it is more limited than what the W3C XSL recommendation defines), it is a helpful debugging tool.

To validate the generated XML against this DTD:

1. Copy the DTD to a location such as C:\fo.dtd.

2. Include a document type declaration, such as the following, in your generated document:

<!DOCTYPE fo:root SYSTEM "/fo.dtd">

3. Turn off post-processing.

4. Apply the stylesheet.

5. Save the resulting XML document.

6. Open the saved XML document in Stylus Studio.

7. Click Validate Document
