PDF generation

[ramanath18]

Hi,
I have a ditamap with n number of dita files that has customized DTDs, not OASIS DTDs. I want to generate a PDF output from the ditamap.
As part of my troubleshooting, I attempted the PDF transformation type in the DITA-OT transformation. However, this process failed due to the presence of customized DTDs in the DITA files.
The error says:
Description: [DOTJ078F] Input file 'file <path to ditamap> could not be loaded. Ensure that grammar files for this document type are referenced and installed properly. Cannot load file: <path to the customized dtd> (The system cannot find the file specified)
URL: https://www.oxygenxml.com/DITA-messages ... __DOTJ078F

I know the error is caused by the customized DTDs that we have used and the use of DITA-OT to generate the PDF output.
I just wanted to know if there is any way I can generate PDF output.

Using Oxygen Author 24.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ram,
Usually a DITA DTD specialization is bundled as a DITA OT plugin and can be installed in the DITA OT bundled with Oxygen or in an external DITA OT used by Oxygen:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/ ... ation.html
Once the DITA OT used by Oxygen has your DTD specialization plugin installed, Oxygen should start using your DTDs for validation and the DITA OT would also use them for publishing.
