In my production I receive an XLFO stream and I would like to pass that to the FOP pdf rendering engine to produce pdf files .So far in my research that can be achieved through ZEN .I would like to create an operation that will take advantage of that and be able to pass my XLFO stream to the operation and create pdf files I found something similar here but for some reasons I get errors like below if any one understands what they mean please advice or someone who had to do something similar advice on how to achieve this thanks in advance

Using the XLFOWrapper by @Attila Toth managed to twick it around to produce pdfs from stream for future reference you can visit his GitHub page or a fork repository by Tim to see the version that worked for my use case

In the namespace in which you are running the rendering, are you able to run the following: DO $SYSTEM.Status.DisplayError(%objlasterror) This might tell us more about the error you are encountering. Also, here is another approach, in the namespace follow instructions in the following link. https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY... In your namespace please set the following global.

 Set ^CacheTemp.ZEN("DebugZen","NoDelete")=1

In the intermediate file area /mgr/Temp you can examine the xml, xsl, and error messages from invoking Java. These files provide important clues in trouble shooting the kind of problem you are having. For instance, you can answer the following question: is the xml "well formed" xml. Also is the xsl "well formed" xsl. The files with extension .txt provide important information about the java invocation.
