DITA Map to PDF Transformation

Oxygen XML Developer comes bundled with the DITA Open Toolkit that provides a mechanism for converting DITA maps to PDF output.

Creating a DITA Map to PDF Transformation Scenario

To create a DITA Map to PDF transformation scenario, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) button.
  2. Select DITA Map PDF and click the Edit button (or use the Duplicate button if your framework is read-only).
  3. Use the various tabs to configure the transformation scenario. In the Parameters tab, you can use a variety of parameters to customize the output. For example, the following parameters are just a few of the most commonly used ones:
    • show.changes.and.comments - If set to yes, user comments, replies to comments, and tracked changes are published in the PDF output.
    • customization.dir - Specifies the path to a customization directory.
  4. Click OK and then the Apply Associated button to run the transformation scenario.
