No. The conversion from map to book should repoint the references to the new generated FM files. You should be able to author in DITA XML files, then create a book from that which can be made into a proper PDF. If that's not the case, it's a bug. Not if Steve created a book with XML

I should have added that you need to place your reltable into the ubermap in that scenario. Nadine Ah, then I don't know. If you're creating chapters separately and then combining them into a book, that might be part of the problem. You could try creating the chapters as submaps

Wow. Big question. But here's a nutshell kind of answer... Yes, you can author in XML in FM 10. DITA XML in particular. You can create PDFs from DITA XML files by saving your ditamaps or bookmaps to FM files, and then create a PDF. Or you can create a PDF from your ditamap if you've been able
