Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: DOCBOOK: Problems creating pdf file of tdg


Hello Bob, everyone,

I installed TeX from the TexLive CD on Win2K.

Copied (installed?) the PassiveTeX macros to .\TeXLive\texmf\tex\passivetex.

Ran mktexlsr.exe to update the file lookup table.

Created a FO file using Saxon.

Created a wrapper file called test.tex:

	\def\xmlfile{test.fo}
	\input xmltex

Ran pdfTeX:

	pdflatex test.tex

This results in an error... (see below for test.log)

If you have any idea...?

Thanks again,

Simon.

You should try PassiveTex:
http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/Software/passivetex/
I find it works better than FOP.

But getting it working can be a bear.
I've never gotten PassiveTex working over an existing
TeX installation.  There were always fatal errors,
of a type that didn't make enough sense to me to fix.

I have gotten PassiveTex working on both Win2K and Linux
by doing the following:

1.  Download the TexLive CD image and cut a CD.

2.  Install the entire TeX distribution
from the TexLive CD.

3.  Follow Sebastian Rahtz's directions from the
above webpage *to the letter* to install PassiveTex
in the new TeX installation.

Like FOP, it isn't perfect, but it is useful.
