This tab appears only when selecting to generate PDF output using the IDIOM FO Plugin and allows you to choose the FO Processor.
You can choose between three processors:
This processor comes bundled with <oXygen/>. You can find more information about it here.
The RenderX XEP processor. You can add it very easy from here.
If you select XEP in the combo and XEP was already installed in <oXygen/> you can see the detected installation path appear under the combo.
XEP is considered as installed if it was detected from one of the following sources:
XEP was added as an external FO Processor in the <oXygen/> preferences. See here. |
The system property "com.oxygenxml.xep.location" was set to point to the XEP executable file for the platform (eg: xep.bat on Windows). |
XEP was installed in the
frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/demo/fo/lib directory of the
<oXygen/> installation directory. |
The Antenna House AH (v5) or XSL (v4) Formatter processor. You can add it very easy from here.
If you select Antenna House in the combo and Antenna House was already installed in <oXygen/> you can see the detected installation path appear under the combo.
Antenna House is considered as installed if it was detected from one of the following sources:
Environment variable set by Antenna House installation (the newest installation version will be used, v5 being preferred over v4). |
Antenna House was added as an external FO Processor in the <oXygen/> preferences. See here. |
The DITA-OT contributors recommend the use of the IDIOM FO Plugin to transform DITA Maps to PDF as opposed to using the standard PDF target in the DITA-OT framework.
As IDIOM is also bundled with <oXygen/> the PDF2 - IDIOM FO Plugin output format should be your first choice in transforming your map to PDF. If you do not have a commercial license for XEP or Antenna House you can transform using the Apache FO Processor.
