Hi,

What exact problems do you have with images?

Oxygen uses the DITA Open Toolkit for publishing DITA content to various output sources. By default the FO processor is indeed set to Apache FOP.

Out of the box the DITA OT ANT build files also support generating PDF using the commercial XEP and Antenna House FO processors.

If you go to the Oxygen Preferences->"XML / XSLT-FO-XQuery / FO Processors" you have special buttons to add a XEP or Antenna House to the list of FO processors supported by Oxygen.

After this, if you edit the DITA Map to PDF transformation scenario in the FO Processor tab you can choose XEP or Antenna House instead of FOP.

Hi,

Basically if you know ANT you could change the build file which processes the XSL-FO obtained in order to process it with any tool you'd like:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/demo/fo/build.xml

Practically I do not know any free FO processor other then Apache FOP which is worth testing. Maybe you can also ask around on the DITA Users List.
