That seemed to do the trick! Thanks for your help!

Hello Leo,
It turns out that the problem is caused by lInReader.MoveToContent()
method call. If you remove it everything should work fine. Note that in
your code this method is useless anyway so you can remove it safely.

HL> I have a function that accepts an FO document in the form of a
HL> System.Xml.XmlDocument and returns a PDF in the form of a Byte
array.
HL> Here's the function:
HL> Public Shared Function TransformXslFOToPDF(ByRef
HL> pXslFODocument As XmlDocument) As Byte()
HL> m_log.Debug("Transforming XSL-FO to PDF: " &
HL> vbCrLf & pXslFODocument.OuterXml)
HL> 'Holds the outgoing PDF stream
HL> Dim lOutStream As New MemoryStream
HL> 'Get Xmldocument into Stream
HL> Dim lInStream As New MemoryStream
HL> pXslFODocument.Save(lInStream)
HL> lInStream.Position = 0
HL> 'Get Stream into XmlReader
HL> Dim lInReader As New
XmlTextReader(lInStream)
HL> lInReader.MoveToContent()
HL> 'Configuration settings for Formatter
HL> Dim lConfigSettings As New Hashtable
HL> lConfigSettings.Add("ROOT", "C:\Program
HL> Files\RenderX\XEP.NET 3.8")
HL> 'FO Formatter
HL> Dim lFormatter As New
HL> Renderx.Xep.Formatter(lConfigSettings, Nothing)
HL> lFormatter.Format("", lInReader, lOutStream,
HL> Formatter.OUTPUT_PDF, lConfigSettings, Nothing)
HL> Return lOutStream.GetBuffer
HL> End Function
HL> And here's the FO that exists within pXslFODocument:
HL> <fo:root
HL> xmlns:rx="http://www.renderx.com/XSL/Extensions"
HL> xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
HL> <fo:layout-master-set>
HL> <fo:simple-page-master
HL> master-name="my-page">
HL> <fo:region-body margin="1in"
/>
HL> </fo:simple-page-master>
HL> </fo:layout-master-set>
HL> <fo:page-sequence
master-reference="my-page">
HL> <fo:flow
flow-name="xsl-region-body">
HL> <fo:block>Hello
HL> World!</fo:block>
HL> </fo:flow>
HL> </fo:page-sequence>
HL> </fo:root>
HL> When I run this test case I receive the following error:
HL> Exception: Renderx.Xep.XepInvalidOperationException
HL> Message: startDocument: Invalid XSL FO source
HL> 'file:/C:/WINDOWS/system32/': 1 error found during validation
