I don't understand the pricing for
XSL-FO converter & XMLmind DocBook Editor Personal Edition
You probably mean XMLmind *DITA* Editor given your first sentence.
Anyway, what's written below applies to XMLmind DocBook Editor as well
as to XMLmind DITA Editor.
DBE Personal Edition is available free with access to an evaluation copy
of XSL-FO converter.
That's right.
DBE Personal Edition can be purchased for $175 and includes (I think)
XSL-FO converter
You mean "DBE *Professional* Edition can be purchased for $175".
DBE *Professional* Edition includes just an *evaluation* copy of XSL-FO
Converter.
In fact, DBE Personal Edition and DBE Professional Edition are strictly
identical and differ only by their license:
- XMLmind DocBook Editor Personal Edition License Agreement
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/license_xbe_perso.html
- XMLmind DocBook Editor Professional Edition User License Agreement
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/license_xbe_pro.html
XSL-FO converter has a price of $300
Right. See "XSL-FO Converter for Java Desktop License" in
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/price_list.html
How much would it cost me to get a copy of the personal edition of
DocBook Editor AND XSL-FO converter?
There is NO WAY to make XSL-FO Converter Professional Edition work in
the context of DBE whether Personal Edition or Professional Edition.
(This is done on purpose, of course.)
If you want a DocBook-capable (and DITA-capable) Editor including a copy
of XMLmind XSL-FO Converter Professional Edition, you'll have to purchase:
XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition
which costs just $350.
Given the fact that XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition also
includes a copy of XMLmind Word To XML Professional Edition (a $300
value on its own; http://www.xmlmind.com/w2x/price_list.html), this
makes XMLmind XML Editor Professional an exceptional value for the money.
