Problem generating pdf due to table error.

[xml_writer85]

Hi folks,

As part of a project I am trying to generate a pdf from my file in XML editor. The transformation scenario is to generate a DITA Map PDF.

It generates the Webhelp fine, some minor issues but nothing major to prevent is displaying. However the pdf will not generate and it throws up the following error: cvc-attribute.3: The value 'from-table-column()' of attribute 'text-align' on element 'fo:table-cell' is not valid with respect to its type, '#AnonType_text-alignline-related-properties'.

The error section occurs numerous times and is highlighted in bold in the following codeblock. I tried inserting the attribute to align the text to the left. This seemed to clear up the error but when I tried to generate the pdf it would fail again and the errors would appear all over again.

Please offer any advice on how to get rid of this error - driving me nuts!

Thank you

Hi,

It probably depends on the FO processor you are using to produce the PDF.
Are running the transformation from Oxygen? If so, by default Apache FOP 1.1 should be used and it handles such constructs without problems from what I tested.
If you are using an older Apache FOP processor with an external process, you should try to upgrade it to 1.1.
