XMLmind XML Editor being a pure authoring tool (i.e. its purpose is not to produce PDFs having the right corporate look), it is difficult for us to understand why you need to have different configurations for the same document type. Now the answer to your question is: [1] Create different customizations of the DocBook configuration as explained in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html * All these configuration must be called "DocBook". * Create each custom configuration in its own directory. * Do not create them in subdirectories of any of the two addon/ directories scanned by XXE during its startup. [2] Select the ``right'' custom DocBook configuration by using the XXE_ADDON_PATH environment variable as explained in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/lookup_phase.html * If you are working on Windows, it may be slightly more convenient to create several xxe.bat files (client1_xxe.bat, client2_xxe.bat, etc), each one having a different value for the XXE_ADDON_PATH system property (read xxe.bat and you'll guess what I mean). --- PS: Did you know about the convertdoc command-line utility? It is very handy to cleanly separate authoring from generation of HTML, RTF, PDF. More info in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/convertdoc.html
