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.

Martin FitzGerald

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