I had a read of the Oasis spec for the keydef element and there's an attribute called print, which accepts values of Yes and No. Applying this to the keydef does exactly what I want:

Ah yes, that's what I was looking for - thanks. I've discovered that NOT defining a key for a topic that's included in the common bookmap as a keyref excludes that topic from the generated output. However, although the PDF gets generated, a validation check fails due to the missing keydef. I thought...

Hi I have a common bookmap that I'm using in two product bookmaps, since 95% of the material is common to both products. For some topics though, like About Product X I need to be able to reference the correct topic for the product, so one Product A book would have About Product A and the other book ...

I've substituted the code and no errors are reported now. Seems to have done the trick!

Thanks for your help.

Hi Radu I have an output class defined in my customizations called noPageCitation which seems to be causing these errors. The class is used to prevent page numbers appearing in xrefs. When I omit this output class the error goes away. Interestingly, the output does actually work correctly, despite t...

I've moved my computer from Linux to Mac OS and installed Oxygen. Although I can generate a PDF, I get lots of the following errors after running a DITA PDF transformation: [DOTX067E]: No string named '' was found for language 'en'. Add a mapping for the string ''. The location of this problem was a...

Ok, I'll watch out for the update. In the meantime I've made the suggested change and my customizations are working properly again.

I've upgraded to Oxygen 16 from Oxygen 15.1 and my customization settings for the <screen> tag now no longer work for DITA PDF output. I've customized the screen tag text for the font size, as well as added a border and changed the background colour, but none of it works now. Even if I strip everyth...

Yes, DITA to PDF. Your code worked beautifully, thanks.

I'm trying to add padding and a border around images but cannot get my code to work correctly. The code is currently as follows: <xsl:attribute-set name="image"> <xsl:attribute name="border"> <xsl:if test="@outputclass='Border'"> <xsl:attribute name="padding">...

Like the OP in the topic you reference I am also coming from a Framemaker background and am used to being able to see the topic filename. However as I've since discovered since posting my question, it's not really necessary to know the filename as one can simply drag-n-drop the file from the map int...

Is there a way to show file names in a map, rather than the topic title?

I'm working in the my XML customization directory trying to change the headers, footers and various other elements in my DITA PDF output. I've added the "template name="insertBodyEvenHeader">" to customized custom.xsl file, and am attempting to change the <my_customization>/commo...

Happy to report it's all working fine now. I started the glossary from scratch and worked through my own steps and it's all working perfectly. One thing I missed in my steps though was the need to add the glossary topic to the glossary map, otherwise the link doesn't work and the glossary topic isn'...

Can anyone point me to a step by step guide to creating a Glossary using DITA, adding entries to it, and then adding a link in a topic to a glossary entry. From reading the manuals, I believe the process is: 1. Create glossentry topics for each glossary term. 2. Create a new DITA map that will becom...

Thanks I can now successfully create Postscript files and pass them through ghostscript to create PDFs. Unfortunately there's no bookmarks present in the final PDF. I tried using the dDOPDFMARKS parameter in ghostscript but it had no effect. Anyone else managed it?

Just to let you know, output is now being created in the ../out/pdf directory. So symlinks were definitely causing an issue.

Thanks for your help.

I was having a bit of a nightmare just then trying to fix broken references :( I can't entirely be sure what went wrong, but it may have got something to do with symlinks in my folder structure. Anyway, rather than navigating to the external drive via symlinks, I copied the project folder directly f...

Ok I found how to do it - by looking in the user manual

My project files reside on an external drive and I'd like to move them to a local drive. But when I do this the map references still point to the old external location. Is there a way to have the maps updated automatically so they point to the new location?

Thanks

I'm working in DITA. No, I don't have a transformation scenario - I'm just using the scenario that comes with the built-in 'DITA Map PDF' transformation. Although, I did follow the example of adding an image to the front page from here http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/#topics/dita_pdf_output_c...

you can usually duplicate a scenario for PDF output and change in the FO Processor tab the output format to ps (instead of pdf). You will also have to change the extension of the output file to .ps. Sorry, I don't see an option for outputting to postscript if I duplicate a transformation. I only ge...

Outputting to Postscript- shouldn't be a hard thing to do. According to the manual it should be part of the commonly available transformation formats, along with PDF, TXT, etc. But can I heckers like find it. I can only get a PS option when I create a New transformation, but then I have no idea what...
