All our licenses are perpetual. They never expire. It is your right to 
access the latest releases at no additional cost which has expired.

Please retry this after upgrading and/or disabling your anti-virus 
software. (Yes, this seems strange but we have found that anti-virus 
software sometimes causes puzzling errors.)

RenderX XEP and XMLmind XSL-FO Converter process *graphics* *files* 
referenced by the .fo file very differently.

I'm sorry but I cannot help you, simply because your bug report does not 
contain enough information to reproduce the problem here at XMLmind.

Please take the time to read: "Writing a usable bug report" found in

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/support.html#xfc_support_policy




--> FYI, running XFC v4.8.1 on my Linux box/Java 1.6.0_45 works normally:

---
fo2rtf Report.fo Report.rtf
---

quickly (!!!) generates a 131Mb (!!!) RTF out of your 41Mb (!!!) .fo file.

However:

1) You didn't send us any of the graphics files referenced in the .fo file.

2) XFC reports many, many errors,

---
warning: failed to load image "file:/home/hussein/tmp/res\meta.gif": 
/home/hussein/tmp/res\meta.gif (No such file or directory) 
(file:///home/hussein/tmp/Report.fo, line #2, column #23049690
---

which are normal given the fact that all graphics files are missing, 
except that these errors also mean that all the graphics file URLs found 
in your .fo are incorrect:

It's definitely:
---
src="url(res/meta.gif)"
---
and not:
---
src="res\meta.gif"
---

More information in 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/faq.html#image_not_showing . 
Important! fixing all these URL errors may solve your problem.

Please be kind enough to send us a *formal* bug report. This bug report 
must include a *short*, *indented*, XSL-FO file + all referenced 
graphics files.
