HI, there, I am helping a client use Oxygen to produce a PDF of my Docbook 5 project. (In case you are wondering, this is NOT the same client I asked about last week --- but a different one from two years ago!) The docbook 5 project is valid. When I run the out-of-the-box Docbook 5 PDF (with FOP), I can generate the project on my machine. But my client generates a file successfully (with no errors or messages) with the latest XML Editor -- except it's nothing but # characters.... I seem to remember having encountered the same error before, but I don't remember what I did with it. Both of us have Win 7 64 bit versions. I Have Author 16 while my client has Editor 16 which was just installed today. We have made no customizations yet to the transformation. I'm guessing it's an encoding error, but I'm not sure where to go fix it (or why a clean Editor install with a general Docbook 5-fop-pdf would give that kind of message). Do you have any ideas? On another note, I want to thank Sorin for helping me with my problem last week.
