CSS-based DITA to PDF CustomizationEdit online
Oxygen XML Editor plugin comes bundled with a DITA-OT CSS-based PDF Publishing Plugin that combines all the topics from a map or bookmap and styles the resulting document using CSS. It is the base of the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS and DITA Map PDF - based on DITA & CSS (WYSIWYG) transformation scenarios.
DITA Map to PDF - based on HTML5 and CSS Transformation Type
This transformation type uses a CSS-based processing engine and HTML5 as an intermediate
format. For this transformation, the pdf-css-html5 transtype is used.
Because the structure of the HTML5 intermediate format resembles the one used in WebHelp
output, it is possible to reuse parts of your CSS file you developed for a WebHelp
customization.
DITA Map PDF - based on DITA and CSS (WYSIWYG) Transformation Type
This transformation type converts DITA maps to PDF using a CSS-based processing engine and
a merged DITA map (one with all topics expanded inline) as an intermediate format. The
complete customization documentation can be found here: CSS-based DITA to PDF Customization. For this transformation, the pdf-css
transtype is used.
