The transformation is not creating the 
"parker.fo" document which is my first 
problem.  Until reinstalling NoteTabPro and the 
associated folders and files, when I used to run 
Saxon (jvm) it created the FO document (in this 
particular case it would be "parker.fo") but now 
it's not doing it.  I ran a search for the 
parker.fo document and found one from 6/27/2008 
in the C:\temp folder.  I don't know why it ended 
up there but none of the attempts yesterday to 
create an FO document had a positive 
result.  Anyway, I moved the "parker.fo" document 
from C:\temp to its proper home in 
C:\pubclass\documents and ran the FO to PDF program and got this error message:

[INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[INFO] FOP 0.20.5
[INFO] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser
[INFO] building formatting object tree
[INFO] setting up fonts
[ERROR] Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.

All of my other FO documents have the same <?xml 
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> and they created 
the PDF document just fine--before I got my new 
computer which required me to reinstall 
NoteTabPro and the pubclass folder contents.  I 
don't get it.  I hate getting new computers and 
upgrades; they make my life hell.

Once I moved the parker.fo from C:\temp and ran 
Saxon (jvm) again, the parker.fo popped up on my 
screen in NoteTabPro--but still saved in the 
C:\temp space rather than 
pubclass\documents--(I'd forgotten that you have 
to delete the old FO document before trying to 
create a new one) but I still get the above error message about the UTF-8.

Any additional suggestions?
