--> The easiest thing to do is to use a bookmap rather than a map and in this bookmap use part, chapter or appendix rather than toplevel topicrefs. If you do this, each part, chapter or appendix will start at a new page. --> If you are sure that you want to unconditionally add a page break before each topic, you need to customize the XSLT stylesheets that generate XSL-FO as explained in this section: "XMLmind DITA Converter Manual" "Customizing the look of the PDF files generated by ditac" http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual-6.html#customAttributeSet (This also applies as is to RTF, .docx, .odt, etc.) Your customization must redefine the attribute-set called "topic". By default, it's : --- <xsl:attribute-set name="topic"> </xsl:attribute-set> --- (excerpts from XSL_Utility_install_dir/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/topic.xsl or ditac_install_dir/xsl/fo/topic.xsl) Instead you need to use: --- <xsl:attribute-set name="topic"> <xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> --- See http://www.w3schools.com/xslfo/prop_break-before.asp --> If you want to something smarter, then do not hesitate to write a more extensive customization. This is quite feasible because our XSLT 2.0 stylesheets are easy to understand. -- XMLmind DITA Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/ditac-support
