[css2xslfo-support] Command line for creating pdf

[Aaron S. <aar...@gm...>]

The only example I've seen of running css2xslfo with fop is:

java -jar css2fopnew.jar url_or_filename <options>

So based on that I placed AppViewer.htm in the same directory and ran this:

java -jar css2fopnew1_6_2 .jar AppViewer.htm

And it gave an error indicating no output file specified.  I then tried this:

java -jar css2fopnew1_6_2.jar AppViewer.htm -pdf Test.pdf

and it does nothing but print the help for the command line with no
errors.  So I am not understanding something here.  I want to produce
a pdf for the given html file(which is xhtml compliant, is that the
same as being xhtml?).

My hope was that this command would produce a pdf file.  Can anyone
advise me what I'm doing wrong?

Here are details/versions for anyone that wants this information:
Long story is that I'm essentially trying to piece together a way for
a server side asp.net app to call this command line and produce a PDF
version of the page to serve to a user for printing.  I want the PDF
to appear as close as possible to how it appears in a browser.

I would also like a css file to be used as well for styling(but does
not replace the user agent CSS).  The html file contains a tag with:
link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="UacApplicationControls.css"

and the css file is in the same directory as the htm file.  Will
css2fop use this tag and apply the styles from that CSS file?  I saw
some documentation showing the correct syntax that it recognizes for a
stylesheet link, but now that I am trying to verify I cannot find it.

I actually just dropped the css2xslfo jar files, and the fop jar file
into fop's library directory.  So that all jar's are in the same
directory, and the htm and css files are as well.  This way I didn't
have to muck with an environment settings for now since I'm just
testing to see if this tool is a viable solution.  It seems to be
finding everything just find.

I am on Windows XP, installed the JRE 6 update 21, and using FOP 1.0.
