Besides the built-in formatting objects processor (Apache FOP) the user can use other external processors. <oXygen/> has implemented an easy way to add RenderX XEP as external FO processor if the user has the XEP installed.
When checked all FOP output will be displayed in a results pane at the bottom of the editor window including warning messages about FO instructions not supported by FOP.
If your FOP transformations fail with an "Out of Memory" error select from this combo box a larger value for the amount of memory reserved for FOP transformations.
You should specify here the path to a FOP configuration file, necessary for example to render to PDF using a special true type font a document containing Unicode content.
The users can configure the external processors for use with <oXygen/> in the following dialog.
