troubleshooting revision bars in PDFs
Post by kate_lopresti »
My team uses change bars in PDFs to call out new topics in a document.
When applied to subheadings (H2,H3), the revision bars tend to push section numbers into their titles (see image).
dita-ot.org states that the offset, placement and width attributes are not currently configurable. Is there another option we can use to fix this spacing?

Hello,
Could you indicate which version of Oxygen you are using and which transformation scenario you are running? (DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS or DITA Map PDF - based on XSL-FO)
Is it possible for you to copy the original DITA fragment containing the change tracking markers for analysis?
Regards,
Julien

We're generating DITA Map PDF - based on XSL-FO and using Oxygen XML Author 27.0.
Code: Select all
<title rev="release-number">Random Number Generation</title>

Hello,
Unfortunately DITA Map PDF - based on XSL-FO change bars support is quite limited, you can do more using the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS scenario using attributes similar to this one in the ditaval:
For more information you can check our user guide.

Julien
