Hi,

I'm trying to publish DITA-map to PDF using DITAOT and RenderX - just a standard full installation, but my pdf-document inserted via <xref> doesn't appear in the final PDF - it wasn't copied into the OUT folder at all. Does anybody know is it possible to use cross-references to external pdfs just editing some settins; or xlst-s should be changed? Does DITAOT support external PDF-s in PDF-output?

Thanks,

Alex 

Anything else you can tell me about peoples favorite DITA editing tool would be appreciated, like how many organisations use it.

Thanks in anticipation. 

Hello,

I think I got my reply to my earlier post concerning how to produce output using oxygen 9.1 I tried the startcmd at DITAOT prompt and then used the ant -f build_demo.xml; what has now put me with a question is; I am not getting an htmlhelp output which previously I did when I tried it from the example. I had a ditamap named myditamap with 2 topics and a concept xml file. Using the xmetal I can get the chm output for my project; but using ant -f build_demo.xml I am unable and infact when I select the pdf there is an error opening the pdf file.

Hi, I'm a tech writer and a new user of DITA. My company says that I can use any DITA editor I want and will buy me an editor (such as Arbortext) if I so choose. I'm wondering whether any of you have any feedback to give me on Arbortext vs. other DITA editors for creating on-line or Web-based Help. I know that JoAnn Hackos promotes the use of Arbortext, given that her new book on DITA uses Arbortext examples throughout.
