syntax serna free 4.4.0 docbookv4.5 won't publish pdf with fop

Question

I am using Syntax Serna free 4.4.0-20111114 docbookv4.5 and its publishing html in seconds but when I try to publish in pdf with Fop It freezes claiming to be 'running...'and 'publishing...' like forever - hours and hours

---

I have FOP configured and running; working fine on the command-line with the example(xml file - XSLT stylesheet) from the apache site.

Using an -xml file created with Syntext Serna Free with its xsl files from the software

XML:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!-- This document was created with Syntext Serna Free. -->
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "docbookV4.5/docbookx.dtd" []>

Command - Line

C:\Users\strath\fop-1.1>fop -xml C:\Users\strath\Desktop\xml.xml -xsl C:\Program Files\Syntext\Serna Free 4.4\xml\stylesheets\docbook-xsl-1.68.1\fo\docbook.xsl pdf.pdf

I get the following feedback

How do I sort this out?

Am running it on windows 7

Answer 1

With the paths now quoted (Thanks Daniel) the pdf file was created but the hyphenation patterns were irregular. To sort this out I replaced the contents of:

C:\Program Files\Syntext\Serna Free 4.4\xml\stylesheets\docbook-xsl-1.68.1\

with:

docbook-xsl-1.78.1

from sourceforge with out changing the original foldername

Also there is need for a folder docbookV4.5 in the directory of the xml file being published, with contents from docbook-xml-4.5

This is working from the command-line, and not the serna interface though.
