--> Using the Java[tm] API, a helper function such as DocumentUtil.saveDocument() makes it easy. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/edit/DocumentUtil.html#saveDocument(com.xmlmind.xmledit.doc.Document,%20java.io.File,%20com.xmlmind.xmledit.edit.SaveOptions) --> Without programming in Java[tm], suffice to write a process command containing a copyDocument element. By default, copyDocument creates a ``flat'' copy of the document being edited. That's precisely the reason why "...When using XXE with the xep_foprocessor (with the XEP trial), and using the Docbook menu to transform to PDF, it all just works..." See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/process.html See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/copyDocument.html --- PS: I recommend using XEP Personal Edition (not XEP *Trial* Edition) through the plug-in downloaded from http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/plugins.shtml
