Creating PDFs is the job of XSL-FO processors, not of XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition. (XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition integrates tightly with such XSL-FO processors, through the use of plug-ins, that's why you'll have the impression that it is XXE that does the job.) XXE currently integrates with the following XSL-FO processors: * Render X XEP -- Commercial, recommended, use free Personal Edition to test it -- http://www.renderx.com/ * FOP 0.20.5 -- free, OpenSource, not recommended -- http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ * FOP 0.92beta (to be released in v3.4, before end of this month) -- free, OpenSource, promising -- http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.92/ I suggest that you test the conversion of Japanese DocBook XML file to PDFs outside XXE (i.e. using the command line tool bundled with these XSL-FO processors). If this works outside XXE, it will work when integrated in XXE.
