This topic describes how to install the Idiom FO plug-in to the
DITA Open Toolkit, to allow enhanced PDF generation through the PDF2 transtype.
Use this procedure if you want to generate enhanced PDF output (that
is, a higher quality output than provided by the standard DITA OT PDF
transformation) using WinANT and DITA OT versions prior to version 1.5.
From the
Tools menu, select
Install Plug-in.
The
WinANT DITA OT Plug-ins dialog will display,
showing the plug-ins shipped with WinANT, with those already installed marked
with a greyed checkbox.
Select the
fo (sourceforge) checkbox, and click
OK.
The plug-in installation process will begin, and when
complete, a confirmation message will display.
Click
OK to acknowledge the confirmation message.
If you haven't already installed RenderX XEP, download the program
from http://www.renderx.com/download/personal.html and install it.
On WinANT's
DITA OT tab, specify the RenderX XEP program
location by browsing for the installation folder in the
RenderX Location field.
A message will display, asking if you want to update the FO
plug-in's
build.xml file with the new RenderX location.
Click
Yes.
A confirmation message will display when the
build.xml file has been updated.
On the
DITA OT tab, specify the location of the
saxon.jar file by browsing for the saxon.jar
file in the
Saxon Location field.
If you have previously installed Saxon, choose the installation
folder. If you haven't specifically installed Saxon, you should use the
saxon.jar that is included with XEP, by browsing
to the XEP folder, then locating
saxon.jar in the lib sub-folder.
A message will display, asking if you want to update the FO
plug-in's
build.xml file with the new Saxon location.
Click
Yes.
A confirmation message will display when the
build.xml file has been updated.
The PDF2 transtype can
now be used on the
Main tab.
