XMLmind XML Editor is not designed to do that.
You need to use the "DocBook" menu / "Convert" submenu in order to
convert a DocBook document to PDF or PostScript.
The menu entries of the "Convert" submenu are bound to "process
commands" which transparently (for the user) use XEP when available and
FOP otherwise.
Of course, the XEP and/or FOP plug-ins need to have been installed.
Example of process command (<XXE_install_dir>/config/docbook/xslMenu.incl):
---
<command name="docb.toPS">
<process>
<!-- Below, referenceAs=absolute_URL is used as a workaround for
FOP ``really strange'' image managment.
(This is harmless for XEP.) -->
<mkdir dir="resources" />
<copyDocument to="__doc.xml">
<resources match="(https|http|ftp)://.*" />
<resources match=".*/([^/]+)" copyTo="resources"
referenceAs="%w/resources/$1" />
<resources match="(.+)" copyTo="resources"
referenceAs="%w/resources/$1" />
</copyDocument>
<mkdir dir="callouts" />
<copyProcessResources
resources="@xsl/images/callouts/gif_callouts.list"
to="callouts" />
<transform stylesheet="xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"

Now, if you want to use XEP with your custom DTD, you need to write your
own process command. See
