What I was referring to was in the README file: For more information on the how to setup and use XSLT-process, please refer to the documentation in the doc/ directory.

Subject: Re: support for PDF viewing of XML documents Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 19:19:47 -0700 Jeff, There is no file in the doc/ directory you need to open/print. Instead, take a look in the tests/fo/ directory. You have a greetings.xml file which is a regular XML file containing some data. There's a greetings.xsl file, which operates on greetings.xml and generates an XML FO file. If you apply the XSLT processor on the XML file in the usual way, you would get the XML FO document. But now you can choose "Apply XSLT, view PDF" which will run the resulting XML FO document through the FOP processor, obtain a PDF file, and pass this file to a PDF viewer. This is the understanding of the question/request for feature you made a while ago on this mailing list. Was I right in the approach to solve the problem?

Subject: new package with PDF support for Windows Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 21:03:08 -0700 Hi, Right now I'm uploading a new version that contains support for viewing the generated PDF file on Windows as well. If you're running on Windows, please try it out and let me know if it works for you. I've tested this package on Win2k, with both GNU Emacs 20.7.1 and XEmacs 21.4.3; they both work fine.
