HI Hussain,
Thanks :) Is the -c option correct to point to the fop.config file? When I run this command line: ditac -t "C:\mosaic\documentation_DITA\Common\fo_custom.xsl" -foconverter FOP pdf "C:\fop\fop-1.1-bin\fop-1.1\fop.bat" -c "C:\Users\Mike.Dodds\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\fop\fop.conf" -q -r -fo "%I" -pdf "%O" out\ConfiguringYourmosaicSite.pdf C:\mosaic\documentation_DITA\Product\mosaic\bm_configyoursite.ditamap I get an error relating to the -c option, which ditac expects to be a chunking mode: C:\ditac\ditac-2_5_0\ditac-2_5_0\bin>ditac -t "C:\mosaic\documentation_DITA\Common\fo_custom.xsl" -foconverter FOP pdf "C:\fop\fop-1.1-bin\fop-1.1\fop.bat" -c "C:\Users\Mike.Dodds\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\fop\fop.conf" -q -r -fo "%I" -pdf "%O" out\ConfiguringYourmosaicSite.pdf C:\mosaic\documentation_DITA\Product\mosaic\bm_configyoursite.ditamap ditac: ERROR: "C:\Users\Mike.Dodds\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\fop\fop.conf", unknown chunk mode; should be one of: none single auto Cheers Mike -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:huss...@xmlmind.com] Sent: 07 January 2014 18:41 To: Mike Dodds Cc: 'xmleditor-support@xmlmind.com'; ditac-supp...@xmlmind.com Subject: Re: Using ditac rather than XMLmind XML Editor to convert DITA documents (WAS: Image in the header or footer of the PDF generated out of a DITA document) On 01/07/2014 06:00 PM, Mike Dodds wrote: > > Is there a way to run the ditac command line utility from the xmlmind > installation and so use the custom_fo.xsl I've created in XML Mind and > embed the Calibri font I specified in XMLMind Yes. > > I've installed ditac separately and also fop, but I had to change the > custom_fo.xsl to <xsl:import href="ditac-xsl:fo/fo.xsl"/> This change is indeed required if you prefer to use ditac. > and the calibri font is not embedded in the pdf, and is not used as a result. That's normal. You just need to point FOP to the FOP configuration file automatically created by XMLmind XML Editor. This FOP configuration file is found in: XXE_user_preferences_dir\fop\fop.conf where XXE_user_preferences_dir is: * $HOME/.xxe5/ on Linux. * $HOME/Library/Application Support/XMLmind/XMLEditor5/ on the Mac. * %APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\ on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\john\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\ on Windows XP. C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\XMLmind\XMLEditor5\ on Windows Vista, 7 and 8. (If you cannot see the "Application Data" directory using Microsoft Windows File Manager, turn on Tools>Folder Options>View>File and Folders>Show hidden files and folders.) Pointing FOP to the FOP configuration file automatically created by XMLmind XML Editor is done as follows: Normally ditac requires you to specify the FOP command-line you want to use by the means of the ``high-level'' "-fop" command-line option. Instead of using the -fop command-line option, please use the lower-level "-foconverter" command-line option as follows: -foconverter FOP pdf "FOP_install_dir\fop.bat" -c "XXE_user_preferences_dir\fop\fop.conf" -q -r -fo "%I" -pdf "%O" References: * http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html#commandLine__option-fop * http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html#commandLine__option-foconverter * http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/running.html#standalone-start > > If I use ditac, does that mean I can't use XMLMInd to do the XSL > customisation? > No, you can use XMLmind XML Editor to do the XSL customization. (Here I suppose that you are talking about the XMLmind XSL Customizer companion application included in XMLmind XML Editor. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslcustom.Customizer.html) But after you are done, you'll have to change by hand: <xsl:import href="xxe-config:dita/xsl/fo/fo.xsl"/> to: <xsl:import href="ditac-xsl:fo/fo.xsl"/> which is somewhat tedious. **************************************************************** If you want to avoid all these troubles, why not use convertdoc? Convertdoc is a command-line tool just like ditac, but unlike ditac, it's basically XMLmind XML Editor without a GUI! Therefore there is nothing whatsoever to change in your setup if you prefer to convert your DITA documents using a command-line tool rather than using a GUI.
