How do I print the output to PDF?

Question

This is the output from my Terminal application, when I tried to produce a PDF image from my PlantUML script.

java    -jar    /Applications/apps/graphics/plantuml.1.2018.6.jar    *.uml    -tpdf

Hi,

You should follow instructions there http://plantuml.com/pdf

Regards,

I tried to do that, but it still does not work.

I placed all the JAR files and the PlantUML script in the same directory, and I still get the same error.

See below for the transcript from the Terminal

I also noticed this on the web page that you directed me to.

Or format="pdf" in the ant task:


<!-- task definition -->
<taskdef name="plantuml" classname="net.sourceforge.plantuml.ant.PlantUmlTask" classpath="plantuml.jar" />
<!-- process diagram.txt file -->
<target name="images">
<plantuml format="pdf">
<fileset file="diagram.txt" />
</plantuml>
</target>

How do I change the format="pdf" in the ant task?

Can you please kindly let me know how and why does Ant play a role in generating PDF output from PlantUML scripts?

Thank you so much, and have a great day!

You don't seem to have exactly the same files as in https://www.dropbox.com/s/p68jqt29x3asppv/batikAndFop.zip?dl=0

81961 avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar
3318083 batik-all-1.7.jar
83613 commons-io-1.3.1.jar
38015 commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
3079811 fop.jar
7242223 plantuml.1.2018.6.jar
7530523 plantuml.jar
85686 xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar
569113 xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar

avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar and fop.jar don't have the same size. Can you try with https://www.dropbox.com/s/p68jqt29x3asppv/batikAndFop.zip?dl=0 to see it it works better ?
Thanks!

After I downloaded the suggested ZIP file containing the JAR files, I tried to unzip the file.

However, I cannot unzip them successfully.

Here are screenshots of the problem.

Can you please kindly let me know what else can I do to resolve the problem?

Thank you so much, and have a good day! Ciao!

Use the following file instead http://beta.plantuml.net/batikAndFop2.zip

---

Thank you so much for helping me. It now works.

However, I encountered a very long error message after I used it for the first time; subsequent usage of the tool caused no problems.

See https://github.com/eda-ricercatore/bibtex-analytics/blob/master/notes/report/pics/old/error-with-solution.txt for the Terminal transcript.

Try the last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar (not tested)

or use the following command line:
java -Dlog4j.debug=false plantuml.jar -tpdf test.txt

http://archive.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/fop/binaries/ has packages containing all the files needed, if you want to get them from the source. You need to choose fop v1.0. Unzip the file and go into the lib folder for all the libraries, in the build folder you can find fop.jar.
