I hope you can help me customise my output from XML Mind into pdf.
In principle, this is out of the scope of normal support. See

I am using XML Mind to produce some reference tables that form part of a
maintenance manual.
I have usied the DITA reference topic type. Each topic consists of a
CALS table with my reference information and no additional text.
I am using a Dita bookmap - so that I can have chapter titles and,
later, add in other types of reference material.
I have included the Chapter and topic titles inside my headers
I'm not sure to understand this. Do you mean that XMLmind has
automatically generated in the chapter an "Child topics:" block
containing all subtopic titles?
and do not want these titles to appear in the body of the document when
published to pdf.
Is there a way to turn the title off?
I don't see an easy way to do that. (I doubt that filtering the topic
title using a .ditaval file would work. You can always quickly try that
if you want.)
Personally, I would do what follows, which in my understanding, reflects
what you are actually doing. (That is, the files containing the table
are not actual topics, but simply convenient containers for the tables.)
1) Remove all topicrefs pointing to your files containing tables from
your bookmap.
2) Open a ``chapter topic'' in XMLmind XML Editor.
3) For each file containing a table:
a) open it in XMLmind XML Editor;
b) select the table;
c) give the table an id attribute;
d) use Ctrl+Shift-C to copy the table by *reference*;
e) switch back to the chapter;
g) Press Ctrl-W (Paster After) somewhere in the chapter to paste a
*reference* of the table into this chapter.
Now the chapter contains all the tables, without containing any
subtopic, and hence any subtopic title.
I enclose a screen dump to illustrate what I mean.
The Chapter title is - “System Aircraft - 01”
The topic title is - “Sub-System General -00”
I do not want the 2^nd instance of the topic title (circled in blue) to
appear.
