Re-using outside content increases transformation time

We're generating a set of PDFs in project A, and just recently decided to re-use a topic from project B (up-and-over into another directory). Project B contains thousands of topics. Our transformation time for a PDF in project A went from 1 minute to 10 minutes. The log shows that the DITA-OT is, fo...

Re: HTML5 output: duplicated title and h1 tags

Thanks, Radu and Costin, for the suggestions. The issue is that we're pulling the HTML content into another system for publishing it to its audience, and that system uses the title to generate a visible heading. So we're getting the heading twice. I think the solution that Radu mentioned, using a re...

HTML5 output: duplicated title and h1 tags

Hi, when I run an HTML5 transform on my content, I'm getting the DITA topic title twice in the output: once as a title tag in the resulting HTML topic, and once as an identical H1 tag outside of the head tag. Is there anyway to suppress this? The title is sufficient in our situation, so the initial ...

Protecting project files (xpr) among team

Hi, we're currently using SVN to share our content and project files among a team of 20+ people. It's been working well for defining templates and transforms, but we're having problems with people overwriting changes. It seems that Oxygen updates the project file too freely... for example, when you ...

Custom rename for index.html in WebHelp?

Hi, is there any way to generate WebHelp Classic output with a different main filename? We'd like index.html to be named something else as an easy (well, easier) way to ensure backward compatibility with a prior help system. I've found where index appears to be hard-coded in your createMainFiles.xsl...

Re: Create fillable forms in PDF?

Thanks, Radu. I'll follow up with that information but it does not appear that what we want is possible/easy enough.

Create fillable forms in PDF?

We're currently authoring in DITA and transforming to XHTML and PDF. Previously, we had these worksheets for customers to fill out that we used to publish as Word so customers could complete the forms offline. I'd like to skip Word, and send them PDFs with fillable forms, but I can't identify a way ...
