The error is 100% correct: Method com.xmlmind.ditac.xslt.Number.format() 
indeed does not exist in recent versions of XMLmind XSL Utility (since 
2012, I think).

This problem is almost certainly caused by your custom XSLT stylesheet

C:\Subversion_trunk\tools\ditac\xsl\fo\fo_custom.xsl



1) Please make sure that this file imports the stock fo.xsl which comes 
with XMLmind XSL Utility v5.2. That is, this custom XSLT stylesheet must 
start with:

<xsl:import href="xslutil-config:dita/xsl/fo/fo.xsl"/>

Notice the "xslutil-config:" prefix. It guarantees that your custom XSLT 
stylesheet imports the stock fo.xsl which comes with the installed 
XMLmind XSL Utility.

If for any reason, you don't want to use this prefix, which is not 
recommended, then please update your Subversion repository by copying 
there all the files which come with XMLmind XSL Utility v5.2.



2) Unlikely, but may be you have written custom XSLT templates making 
use of Number:format. In such case you'll have to change them to use the 
standard number formatting facilities found in XSLT 2.0. Example:

---
<xsl:function name="num:roman" as="xs:string">
   <xsl:param name="value" as="xs:integer"/>
   <xsl:number value="$value" format="i"/>
</xsl:function>
---

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#number



This really, really important. Unless you implement 1) and may be 2) 
very carefully, I don't think you'll be able to generate documents using 
your custom fo_custom.xsl.
