how to call a custom PDF plug-in in dita-ot -3.0

I am a non-programmer TW, thank you first for your help, if any.(*￣︶￣)

I custom a PDF plugin by using http://dita-generator.elovirta.com/. and use dita --install command to install the plugin .zip file. I check the plugins file in default dita-ot-3.0 directory, the plugin has been successfully installed. Here is the question: how can i call the custom PDF plugin when outputting PDF from a ditamap file.

Thanks.

Solution

  • You have defined a name for the transformation in the last step. Open the plugin.xml and look up the transtype name from the extension point dita.transtype.print.

    <feature extension="dita.transtype.print" value="NAME_OF_YOUR_TRANSTYPE"/>

    Then call dita --input your.fitamap --format NAME_OF_YOUR_TRANSTYPE.
