Custom PDF Printing standalone FOP server with Oracle Apex 5.0

Christopher CNov 28 2016 — edited Nov 28 2016

Hi,

I am using Apex 5.0.4.00.12 with a stand alone FOP server for printing.  I am currently trying to print a customized report with a new xlst file based on (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/custom-pdf-reports-1953918.pdf ). When I try this, the PDF file is downloaded on the APEX side, although when I open the file it is corrupted.  

Steps Below:

1. Go to shared components in APEX, then go to Report Queries.

        a. Get XML and XSD files from custom query.

2. Put the XML/XSD files into Altovo StyleVision 2017 (based on new XML/XSD option).

3. After the file is created, I customize as necessary. (I'm currently only putting a header/table in the file for testing purposes).

4.  I check the PDF testing option based on the XML file inserted and then click  the XSLT 1.0 option in order to view the XSLT code. 

5. Download the XSLT file, then import it into the SHARED Components> Report Layouts with Named Columns chosen.

6. After the layout is loaded, I change the layout in the Shared Components> Report Queries  then try to Test Result.

        a. At this point the file is downloaded, but I am unable to open it.

Would the version of Altovo StyleVision affect the XSLT style and would that work with Apex 5.0?

Is Apex 5.0 compatible with XSLT 1.0 or should I attempt 2.0/3.0?

With the limited information, is this error from Layout error or Printing error? (I am thinking about downloading Styluis Studio if I can't proceed further)

I saw multiple threads with the same link although I couldn't find a similar error.
