Hi Rosemary, it's a bit tricky, but here are the overall steps you must take to point FrameMaker's DITA menu to the DITA OT installation folder:
* After you have properly installed the Adobe FrameMaker 8 plug-in for DITA Open Toolkit (incidentally for FrameMaker 9 users, the appropriate link) is also on the same page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/framemaker/ * You need to add the following code to this file: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 2\Adobe FrameMaker 9\fminit\ditafm\ditafm.ini". Note that I'm using FrameMaker 9 from the Tech Comm Suite 2, but please navigate to the path above based on the version of FrameMaker you are using. * Add this code to the ditafm.ini file: [BuildFile] AntCommand=ant AntScript=ditafm-ant.xml Count=2 DitaDir=C:\DITA-OT1.4.2.1 1=chm 2=html * Here's where you point FrameMaker to the exact location of the DITA Open Toolkit installation folder. * Relaunch FrameMaker and you should now be able to select DITA > Generate Output.

All went well until I clicked on the new Dita menu item - Generate Output I receive the following error: DITA-OT directory not defined in Options. Could not generate output. Does anyone know how to define this directory somewhere? I've set all the required environment variables as per the documentation. bye Rose -- Rosemary O'Connor Ph: (07) 3286 7038 Mob: 0402 368 653 _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as rjacquez at adobe.com.
