As per https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show ... i?id=54094 the bug was fixed after the FOP 1.1 release. At the time of writing, FOP 1.1 is the current release.

docx4j 2.8.1 can't use any recent build of FOP, since the method for configuring FOP changed after 1.1. See wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FopFactoryConfiguration

Current docx4j tip on GitHub can use either FOP 1.0/1.1 or a later version.

You can get a snapshot of this version of docx4j, with appropriate dependencies, including FOP built from svn, at http://www.docx4java.org/docx4j/docx4j- ... Pr1468367/

The changes are:

- replace docx4j jar
- replace fop jar
- replace xmlgraphics-commons
- replace batik jar

If you are using pom.xml, add:

You'll also need to add the following classes to your class path:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphic ... ll-1.7.jar

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphic ... -trunk.jar

[jason]

To try an updated FOP with docx4j 3.0.x:

1. remove existing FOP and xml-graphics dependencies from docx4j pom (or your classpath)
2. get a FOP jar from http://ci.apache.org/projects/xmlgraphi ... snapshots/
3. add https://github.com/apache/fop/raw/trunk ... -trunk.jar
4. add https://github.com/apache/fop/raw/trunk ... -trunk.jar

That should be all you need to do..
