Hello,
We’re currently using Aspose.Pdf for .Net to generate our PDF via un XSL-Fo, but we received this error during the initialization of Document.
—> [System.ApplicationException]: Exception occured during import of source Xslfo. *
Exception’s message is : ‘Unable to cast object of type ’ ’ to type ’ [ ]’.’ .\r\n Since in conversion’s options selected mode of ignoring validation errors, and such errors was detected, this exception can be result of that bad formatting. Here is list of found formatting errors : ============================================
Border and padding for fo:region-after “first-page-footer” should be ‘0’ (See 6.4.14 in XSL 1.1); non-standard values are allowed if relaxed validation is enabled.Line(7)\Col(8)---------------------------------
Border and padding for fo:region-after “repeat-page-footer” should be ‘0’ (See 6.4.14 in XSL 1.1); non-standard values are allowed if relaxed validation is enabled.Line(12)\Col(8)---------------------------------
“fo:block-container” is missing) child elements.[ Required content model: marker (%block;)+] Line(29)\Col(16)---------------------------------
“fo:static-content” is missing) child elements.[ Required content model: (%block;)+] Line(67)\Col(6)============================================
- at . (Exception , )*
- at . (Document , Stream , XslFoLoadOptions )*
- at Aspose.Pdf.Document. (Stream , LoadOptions )*
- at Aspose.Pdf.Document…ctor(String filename, LoadOptions options)*
After several tests, I managed to correct all the format issues mentionned. But I still get the following issue:
[System.InvalidCastException]: Unable to cast object of type ’ ’ to type ’ [ ]’.
- at . (Exception , )*
- at . (Document , Stream , XslFoLoadOptions )*
- at Aspose.Pdf.Document. (Stream , LoadOptions )*
- at Aspose.Pdf.Document…ctor(String filename, LoadOptions options)*
- at ptoKernel.ReportHelper.AsposeReportGeneration.GeneratePdfWithAspose(String foInputPath, String pdfOutputPath)
Here are the codes where I tryied to create a document with and input of xsl fo file.
Dim options As XslFoLoadOptions = New XslFoLoadOptions()
Using pdfGenerated As Document = New Document(foInputPath, options)
pdfGenerated.Save(pdfOutputPath)
End Using
And we use the XslCompiledTransform to transform a xsl and xml file to the xsl fo file.
Basically I think there is an issue for Aspose to load the xsl fo file, can you help on this?
Cheers,
Rui

Would you please share your sample source files in .zip format with us. We will test the scenario in our environment and address it accordingly.
Hello,
Please check the sample source file we used in the attachement.
test_Aspose.zip (4.1 KB)
Actually we use the Aspose.pdf for two of our projects, it’s working properly in one of them, but not another one. I have run the tests with both of the version we currently used (18.2) and the newest one (20.10), and I still get the same issues specified in my last comment.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers,
Rui

We will surely post updates within this forum thread as soon as the ticket is resolved.
Hello @asad.ali,
Do you have any updates about this issue since it has been a long time.
And FYI, I noticed that the issue reported is linked to the formatting object fo:marker/fo:retrieve-marker, we have this issue for all the xslfo with fo:marker set, just like the one I attaced as exemple. But we don’t face this issue when the fo:marker is empty. I think this is linked to the fact we use the fo:retrieve-marker to display some information in the footer, maybe the fo:retrieve-marker is not supported by Aspose library.
Can you please check this in your side?
Thanks,
Rui

Hi @asad.ali
This ticket was created a year ago. The highlighted issue is a blocker to fully migrate our application to Aspose for PDF generation.
The impacted application and client provide services to roughly 4M people. All of these users are being affected by the slowness of Aspose’s support. Why is this taking so long?
Please provide detailed feedback and schedule for this ticket resolution so that we can communicate with our client and/or consider other PDF generation solutions.
Regards,
Nicolas
