How can I use the DITA Open Toolkit customization.dir parameter so I can use a different Customization dir for PDF output? I have tried the Advanced tab in the Edit DITA Scenario dialog box, Additional arguments field. Can't get it to work.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

In the ANT build file OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/demo/fo/build.xml the customization dir parameter is set by default to: In order to overwrite it, edit the DITA Map transformation scenario and in the Parameters tab add a new parameter with the name customization.dir and the value set to your custom folder.

Thanks Radu, that works. I failed to notice the New button on the Parameters tab. That might have been because I read the online help for the Parameters tab, and the second sentence is "All the parameters that can be set to the DITA-OT build files for the chosen type of transformation (eg: XHTML) are listed along with their description."

It sounded like it was claiming that all the parameters were there, when I knew they were not. I figured there was somewhere else to enter extra parameters. FYI your tech writer.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Mark,

Thanks, we will try to update the user manual to better express this type of issue.
