Hello,

Could anyone tell me what the following DITA OT error messages mean, please? I'm guessing the grammar is wrong, but I don't know enough about DITA to know what they are getting at.
Thanks in advance.

PDFX001W - There is no index entry found which closing range for ID="%1".

PDFX002W - There are multiple index entry found which is opening range for ID="%1" but there is only one which close it or ranges are overlapping.

PDFX003W - There are multiple index entry found which closing range for ID="%1".

PDFX007W - There is no index entry found which opening range for ID="%1".

Hello,

These are index term related errors. It seems you inserted some indexterm elements in your DITA topics with start and/or end attributes that can't be matched to other indexterm elements. Can you send us or post here some DITA topics that show these errors in a DITA transformation?

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't mean I'd received the errors in output, I meant there is something wrong with the English in the messages (I'm translating them into Japanese) and I can't work out what they're trying to say.

I've just sat here trying to give my version of what I think they mean, but I gave up. I just can't work them out.

I think a grammatically correct version of these messages is this:
These errors refer to indexterm elements having start and end attributes.

Thanks again for the reply.
That makes sense. Looking at the messages again, it seems that the group prefixed with "PDF" were written by non-native English speaker, unlike the other messages.
