Customizing note Images in PDF

Edit online

To customize the images that appear next to each type of note in the PDF output, use a PDF customization folder with the following procedure:

1. Create a customization directory (if you haven't already done so).
2. Create a cfg\common\vars directory structure in your customization directory and copy the contents of DITA-OT-DIR\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\cfg\common\vars into that created directory.
3. Locate the DITA-OT-DIR\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\cfg\cfg\common\vars\en.xml file in your customization directory (for example, custom_org.dita.pdf2\cfg\common\vars\en.xml).
4. Create a cfg\common\artwork directory structure in your customization directory and add your custom notice image (for example, Customization\cfg\common\artwork\notice.gif).
5. Locate and edit the Customization\cfg\common\vars\en.xml file and modify the appropriate note element. For example, modify the path to the image for <note> element with the type attribute set to notice from:

   <variable id="notice Note Image 
     Path">Configuration/OpenTopic/cfg/common/artwork/important.png</variable>

   to:

   <variable id="notice Note Image 
     Path">cfg/common/artwork/notice.gif</variable>

6. Edit the DITA Map to PDF - based on XSL-FO transformation scenario, go to the Parameters tab, and set the path for the customization.dir property to point to the customization folder. Also, set the com.oxygenxml.use.custom.note.images parameter to no.
