Hi

I'm trying to generate PDF2/XHTML using the DITA Open Toolkit with FrameMaker 12 but nothing happens when building the output.

I can see the command line start but is then immediately shutdown, and there is nothing generated in the output folder.

I have installed the Java JDK and set the Java_Home variable (before that the output options box didn't open).

Do anyone have a glue what is wrong?

Hi,

I am from FrameMaker Engineering Team, Can you Please confirm the Exact Steps for this scenario? And If possible share the Files.

If the files contain any Images, are they present in some other Folder (other than from where the file is located)???

Thanks & Regards,

Pawan Keshari

Hi,

I have just tried to use a simple document for testing, incase I would run into trouble.

For example, I have created a DITA concept topic with a title and some paragraphs.

I save the document to: text_topic_en_001, and then try to publish with the DITA-OT.

I suspect I have installed the Java applications wrong, as the DITA-OT plug-in is already installed with FM12

Thanks for you reply Pawan Keshari

Best regards

Hello,

I'm still stucking on trying to transform a dita.map in FrameMaker with the DITA-OT plugin.

But now I managed to get the DITA-OT up and running and processed a dita.map to PDF and XHTML.

I downloaded the Toolkit to D: directory that is not under the windows C:program files protection.

Could it be that DITA-OT for FM12 is installed in the C:program files directory which is locked for changed by windows that causes the build to fail?
