my colleague points out that your traceback seems to indicate that you're using 
someone elses version of rml2pdf eg

   File "D:\AR_Tool\AR_Tool_V9.1\AR_Tool\Script1.py", line 27, in ?
     x = parseString(rml)
   File "trml2pdf\trml2pdf.py", line 518, in parseString
   File "trml2pdf\trml2pdf.py", line 148, in render
   File "trml2pdf\trml2pdf.py", line 507, in render

in which case all bets are off. You probably better consult the author directly.
