Hi Daniel, In the process of generating PDF a2x uses several external tools which are not part of asciidoc itself. One of those is xmllint, a tool to validate the docbook generated by asciidoc is legal before it is passed to the PDF generation tools. xmllint uses a specification of what is legal which is called the DTD (its very complex, thats why asciidoc leaves it to specialised tools). If xmllint can't find the DTD installed on your machine it tries to download it (and IIUC it will then cache it so it doesn't have to re-download it, not sure though). The error you have is that xmllint cannot find the DTD locally or download it. Is your machine connected to the internet? Can you access the specified URL's with a browser? I believe you can also install the DTD manually, but I don't know how to do that on windows. Or you could skip the validation step by specifying --no-xmllint to a2x.
