If i just use <xsl:apply-templates />, i see only the text content. I want
to get original xml (with elements) into my PDF

Thanks

Venkat,

When you say <xsl:copy-of select="."/> inside your block inside the flow,
you're saying "copy the current node (with all its descendants) into the
result". So your XML source is getting copied into your FO result, and
your
FO processor doesn't like it.

Try <xsl:apply-templates/> and see where that gets you....

Cheers,
Wendell

Hi:

I am trying to generate a PDF from XML using XSL FO.
Bascially the PDF file should contain original XML as it as with all the
elements.

I used the following stylesheet, but it fails while generating PDF saying
that unexpected element (my root node from the original xml) is found.

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
  <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-16"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
   <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
    <fo:layout-master-set>
      <fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-page">
         <fo:region-body margin="1in" />
      </fo:simple-page-master>
    </fo:layout-master-set>

    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
      <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        <fo:block><xsl:copy-of select="." /></fo:block>
      </fo:flow>
   </fo:page-sequence>
  </fo:root>

  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
