Subject: [xsl] PDF output - file can't be opened From: "Michele R Combs mrrothen@xxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 23 Dec 2021 16:19:23 -0000 |
Hi - A colleague sent me a style sheet they use to convert XML to PDF. I'm using saxon and running it using a command line in a batch file, with the command as follows: java.exe -cp saxon9he.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform -t -s:"../other_peoples/bertha/VdM_EAD export.xml" -xsl:"../other_peoples/bertha/at_MetModified.xsl" -o:../other_peoples/bertha/test.pdf When I run it using their XML, it successfully produces a PDF file but when I try to open the file Adobe gives me this error: Adobe Acrobat could not open "test.pdf" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.... So: their XML, their XSL, my XSL processor and command line. I can open the output PDF file in Notepad and view all the fo:blocks and so on. However, when I attempt to open some other random PDF for comparison I just see a bunch of random illegible stuff. So I'm thinking that my output is missing some particular bit of info that makes the file a legit PDF. What might be causing this problem? Do I need to tweak the style sheet, for example, or my command line to properly produce PDF? I've never worked with PDF files and don't know much about them.
