Hussein, I have been doing a little more digging and might have just found the problem - you gave me a clue in the first email. We have a company specialisation where the person who created the specialisation took the complete dita directory and then created the various specialised DTDs.
I found that the dita.jar file in the specialisation was different from the one in the release you provide. I replaced the one in the specialisation and now things work OK. My question - do you have a set of instructions/details on how specialised DITA DTS and domains should be implemented with XMLMind - I assume the way we have done it is not the right way! Thanks again for all your help with this - it is much appreciated.

The error message below does not correspond to the kind of error reported by XMLmind XML Editor v4.5.1 or v4.5.2. Please make sure that you have *really* deleted all existing XMLmind directories. The fact that you are using Windows 7 *64-bit* does not make this obvious to do. I mean: with Windows 64-bit, you always have *two* places where preferences, files, etc, are stored: one for the 32-bit world, the other for the 64-bit world. This error message should be: --- Invoking process command "dita.toPS" with parameter ""pdf" "pdf"" Invoking method "com.xmlmind.xmleditext.dita.PreProcess.process" with arguments "-v info -toc -images images/*.{pdf,mml,svg,png,jpg,jpeg,gif} -out __doc.pdf -media print -options dita.toPS.options" missing "-out" option Options are: -out basename Specifies a basename for the output files. No default. Examples: "-out manual.pdf", "-out _.htm". -chunk none|single|auto The "none" and "single" values may be used to force the generation of a single output file. For some formats (ps, pdf, rtf, etc), "-chunk none" is implicit. "-chunk single" allows to reuse a map designed to output multiple HTML pages in order to generate a single HTML file or a PDF file. -media screen|print Explicitly specifies the output medium. By default, the output medium is guessed using the extension of the output file. -images image_path Copy the image files referenced in the topics to specified directory. If specified path is relative, its relative to the output directory. -imagehandler class_name parameters Pass the image files referenced in the topics to specified com.xmlmind.ditac.preprocess.ImageHandler. String parameters is used to configure the specified ImageHandler. For example, "-images graphics" is equivalent to "-imagehandler com.xmlmind.ditac.convert.ImageCopier graphics". -filter ditaval_URL Apply specified conditional processing profile to the topics. -toc Equivalent to "-frontmatter toc". -index Equivalent to "-backmatter indexlist". -frontmatter spec Automatically generate specified sections: toc, list of tables, etc, before the other pages.

Different pages are separated by ",". -backmatter spec Automatically generate specified sections: toc, list of tables, etc, after the other pages. See -frontmatter for more information. -lang language_code Specifies the main language of the document. Examples: "fr", "fr-CA". Needed to sort the index entries. By default, this information is taken from the "xml:lang" attribute of the root element of the topic map (if any, "en" otherwise). -v quiet|info|verbose|debug Specifies the level of verbosity. --- David Chance wrote: > Hi, > > Have downloaded the latest version, removed all existing xmlmind directories > (including the %appdata% directories), but still get the same problem.
