[oXygen-user] Unexpected errors in PDF formatting

Tue Dec 27 09:07:11 CST 2011

Hi,

The error is caused by the hyphen with the Unicode code 00AD which comes *at the end of the following fragment* from your document:

"Piazza Verdi – ma anche le altre piazze, i giardini, le palestre pubbliche, i campi sportivi -"

In Oxygen you can see the Unicode code of the character at cursor position on the status bar as U+00AD. The FOP processor has a bug and cannot layout this character in the PDF output. You will get the same FOP error when transforming the following simple document with the default scenario Docbook PDF (no customization of the XSL stylesheet):

<article>
   <sect1>
     <title>Title</title>
     <para>-</para>
   </sect1>
</article>

where the content of the para element is the 00AD hyphen. Please replace it with a regular hyphen (code 002D) in your Docbook XML document for avoiding the FOP bug.

Best regards,
Sorin
