I've seen the RenderX's footer in other pdf doc's before.
I've downloaded the XEP Personal edition and installed successfully.

I've changed this line to correspond to my settings:
D:/Program Files/RenderX/XEP/xep.bat

I've added the am lines at the end of the, virtually blank,
tools/build/v2/user-config.jam file.
And then I invoke 

bjam pdf

but I got nothing except an error: 

error: Unknown target type FO

and other semmingly useless message.

More help still needed. Thanks in advance.

P.S.

repeat the segment I added to the jam file as follows:

using fop :
   # path to invocation batch file:
   D:/Program Files/RenderX/XEP/xep.bat
   :
   # path to Java installation, this is ignored if you're using XEP:
   C:/PROGRA~1/Java/j2re1.4.2_12
   ;
