I am trying to generate a pdf using apache-fop from the following command.
C:\fop-1.0-bin\fop-1.0>fop -xml sample1.xml -xsl xsl-fo.xsl -pdf sample2.pdf
My xml looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<service>
<serviceId>11111</serviceId>
<openDate>2012-02-16</openDate>
<closeDate>2012-02-16</closeDate>
<description>INSPECT MACHINE</description>
<repairCost>$266.76</repairCost>
</service>
My xsl-fo xslt file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1"
