FAQ

Q:

Why is FrameMaker 8 support not included?

A:

Adobe has yet to ship a final FDK for FrameMaker 8. Therefore, we cannot certify ePublisher for use with FrameMaker 8 at this time.

Q:

Why is Windows Vista unsupported?

A:

ePublisher support for Windows Vista is currently tied to ePublisher FrameMaker 8 support.

Q:

What version of the DITA-OT should I have installed?

A:

None.
ePublisher will install a separate version of the DITA-OT along with the ePublisher application. At this time, ePublisher includes DITA-OT 1.2.2.

Q:

I want to use DITA-OT 1.3.1, 1.4, etc. How do I do that?

A:

Users can use the ePublisher override mechanism to move to a new version of the DITA-OT.
To do so, users create a "Helpers" override in their project "Formats" folder. The exact path is:
 <Project Folder>\Formats\Helpers\dita-ot\ 
Please do keep in mind that the existing build scripts may need tweaking to work with a DITA-OT version other than 1.2.2.
Users can make the necessary changes by overriding the DITA adapter implementation in:
 <Project Folder>\Adapters\xml\scripts\dita 

Q:

How do I deploy my custom version of the DITA-OT?

A:

If you have used the standard ePublisher override mechanism, when you save your project as Stationery.
Next, copy over any "Helpers" and "Adapters" overrides as needed.
Express users will automatically pick up the new DITA-OT version when their Format directories are synchronized.

Q:

Since non-standalone Stationery was removed in 9.3, how do I derive a new Pro project from an existing one?

A:

Make a copy of the existing Pro project folder (Master Project), then rename the folder and .wep file. You now have a new Master project that is an exact duplicate of your existing project. Furthermore, it can be modified and thus used to deploy and maintain a new, derivative Stationery.
