You can evaluate on localhost.

If you need some help - please provide some detail:

• Are you using a default template?
• If so, which one?
• Which version of Umbraco?
• Which version of PDF creator?

Thank you for you quick response.

I'm using it on localhost.
I tried all templates, different browsers and watched the instruction video several times.

Using version 2.0

One example is the standard xslt hello world template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
  xmlns:FergusonMoriyama.Pdf.XsltHelper="urn:FergusonMoriyama.Pdf.XsltHelper"
  xmlns:ibex="http://www.xmlpdf.com/2003/ibex/Format"
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library FergusonMoriyama.Pdf.XsltHelper">

  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

  <xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
  
  <xsl:template match="/">

    <!-- These two headers tell PDF for Umbraco to render a PDF -->
    <xsl:value-of select="FergusonMoriyama.Pdf.XsltHelper:SetResponseContentType('text/xml')"/>
    <!-- If you remove this you'll see the FO output in the browser -->
    <xsl:value-of select="FergusonMoriyama.Pdf.XsltHelper:AppendResponseHeader('X-Pdf-Render', 'true')"/>
    
    <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

        <fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4" page-width="297mm" page-height="210mm" margin-top="1cm" margin-bottom="1cm" margin-left="1cm" margin-right="1cm">

          <fo:region-after extent="2cm"/>
          <fo:region-start extent="2cm"/>
          <fo:region-end extent="2cm"/>
        </fo:simple-page-master>
      </fo:layout-master-set>
  
      <fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4" format="A">
        <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
          <fo:block>
            <fo:inline font-weight="bold">Hello world!</fo:inline>
          </fo:block>
        </fo:flow>
      </fo:page-sequence>
    </fo:root>
    
  </xsl:template>
    
</xsl:stylesheet>

The template looks fine - you didn't mention which version of Umbraco you are using?

Could you also let me know which version of IIS/IISExpress/Cassini and which version .net you are using.

Finally I'll need to look at your web.config file. If you don't wish to post it here - please email it to me: darren at fergusonmoriyama.com

Umbraco version 4.7.1

That was it!

Thanks again for the quick response.

I had the same problem - you should put that in the install instructions to check the web.config and manually add those lines.

I had no errors on the install, all I did was install it and attempt to load one of the sample templates and only got XML.  Took me awhile to find this thread and fix it.

Thansiks.

is working on a reply...
