Hi Steve...
Yeah .. that's basically the process for building a useful book/PDF from
a map in default FM-DITA (saving the map to PDF directly is a quick and
dirty way to get a PDF, but it's not likely to be the "book" that you
want to give to your end users). You can optimize that a bit more by
saving the book after you apply the pagination/numbering/etc settings.
Here's a process that might help ..

This was written for FM8-DITA which did have a separate "map to book"
command. In FM10 you'll want to do what you've done and save the map as
composite files.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I did get it to do what I need to.
Saved each ditamap as a composite fm.
Created normal Frame Book.
Pulled the composite fm sections into the Book.
Etc...as per normal FM book build/pdf generation.
Not sure if this is optimal, but it's working for me at the moment. I do
plan on looking into ditaFMx in the near future.
Thanks again.

Hi Steve...
I don't think that you can. It appears that this "build" process is
hard-coded by FM. If you're using DITA-FMx, which uses a special "Book"
structure application to create the book from a map (from which you can
generate the PDF), you can modify the XSLT used to aggregate the map and
topic files into the output book, and you can set it up to include your map
title (not the default).

Hi,
Using FM10.
How do I get the map title to show up in my output (PDF)? I'm
expecting it to come in as the title to each chapter, but it's not. It
has a "head.0" style.
Thank you.
