Hi,

While trying to use the sample PDFCreationAdapter from the CAI I am getting an error like

I am using the xml file as given bellow,

<root>
	<product>Windows 98
		<period name="Q1">&#148;82</period>
		<period name="Q2">&#148;72</period>
		<period name="Q3">&#148;62</period>
		<period name="Q4">&#148;52</period>
	</product>
	<product>Windows NT
		<period name="Q1">28</period>
		<period name="Q2">38</period>
		<period name="Q3">48</period>
		<period name="Q4">58</period>
	</product>	
</root>

and I am getting error like,

Hi Biju,

the PDF framework that comes with CAI expects as XML file an “FOP Form”, not any XML. Did you have a look into documentation on PDF?
