Oxygen XML Forum

I'm having an issue getting "Additional Information" links to appear at the end of topics in PDF output. I've added a reftable to a DITA map, added topicrefs in several columns, and verified the references are generated for HTML output. However, they do not appear in the PDF output. My understanding is that references should be generated at the end of topics that are included in each column of a reftable. Is there some option I need to select to get this output. Thanks in advance.

Hi Richard,

Related links are disabled by default in the PDF output and you need to set a parameter in order to activate them.
Just edit the Oxygen PDF transformation scenario and in the Parameters tab add a new parameter called disableRelatedLinks with the value no.

You should also consider joining the DITA Users List where by change this issue was discussed recently:

Thanks Radu. I added the parameter and can now generate Related Links. However, the problem is that all related links are being generated. I was under the impression that only the links specified in the reltable would be generated. For a linear document such as a PDF it doesn't really make sense to generate links specified by, say, collection-type. These seem more appropriate for HTML or help file output. Is there any option to only generate the links specified in a reltable for PDF output?

BTW: I'll take your recommendation and join the group over in Yahoo groups.

Hi Richard,

Just a guess, maybe you can filter the parts which you do not want to appear using a ditaval filter file.
