Convert an XML file to PDF using XSLT and XSL-FO/FOP

Question

I'm trying to convert an XML file to a PDF file using XSL-FO, I found the code in this example:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/ExampleXML2PDF.java?view=markup

but I receive this Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xmlgraphics/image/loader/impl/ImageRawPNG

Do you have some advices?

Answer 1

This error means that one of the classes you are using is trying to use the class org/apache/xmlgraphics/image/loader/impl/ImageRawPNG but can't find it.

What you need to do, is find the jar that contains that class and add it to the classpath.
