I'm using FOP as well, but I tried with the Antenna and RenderX b4 adopt the FOP. Because the engineer decided to use it, it's free. But noted, FOP is damn buggy and weired. Even if you believe you wrote a proper xsl:fo, you may not get an accurate PDF output. You need to find out what's work and what's not. Good luck.

Hi Kelmen,
Did you use Antenna House XSL Formatter?
I have a problem about "AXFOSVR.XFOObj". When I run the asp file, I is prompted :
IXFOObj ´íÎó(It is Chinese. The meaning is "Error") '8004a007'
ErrorLevel:5 ErrorCode:-2146697209 Reason:ÎÞËùÐè×ÊÔ´µÄ¿ÉÓÃÊý¾
Url:http://localhost/XSLFO/AntennaHouse%20Sample/Howtodevelop-en/Howtodevelop-en.xml
/XSLFO/AntennaHouse Sample/Howtodevelop-en/htd
the asp file:
<%
Dim objAXF
Set objAXF=Server.CreateObject
If Err.number <> 0 Then
Err.Clear
Else
objAXF.Clear()
objAXF.Source= "http://localhost/XSLFO/AntennaHouse%20Sample/Howtodevelop-en/Howtodevelop-en.xml"
objAXF.Stylesheet= "http://localhost/XSLFO/AntennaHouse%20Sample/Howtodevelop-en/Sample2foen.xsl"
objAXF.PrinterName= "@PDF"
objAXF.Execute()
If objAXF.ErrorCode <> 0 then
Response.Write "ExecuteError:"&objAXF.Rea
Err.Clear
End If
End If
Set objAXF = Nothing
%>
Thereinto two XML files come from Howtodevelop-en.zip
Why prompt those information? I installed the XSL Formatter V2.3 Maintenance Release 1 (Evaluation Version) and the PDF Output Option Maintenance Release 1 (Evaluation Version). Aside, system condition is the following items:
Windows 2000
Internet Explorer 5.5 and sp2
MSXML4
Can you help me?

It still runs on the same server on the 8080 port.
It is not difficult to understand, just read the documentation.
Sorry I could not be of more help, but as I said I did search for a long long time for a MSXML PDF engine.
