Hi Hussein, Thank you so much for your quick and detailed reply, which is absolutely beyond my expectation. :)
It's a regret that the XMLmind editor I use is of version 5.2.0. So the UI is somewhat different with your screenshots. For example, the Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets option is unavailable for me under " Options|Customize Configuration". Could you help verify the solution of the version I have, or can I modify the style sheet to achieve this purpose?

If you uninstall the RenderX XEP plug-in and instead install/use the Apache FOP plug-in, the frame will disappear. * If like us, here at XMLmind, you prefer to keep using RenderX XEP, then please proceed as follows: [1] Open your DITA map/bookmap document in XMLmind XML Editor. [2] Select menu item "Options|Customize Configuration|Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets". [3] In the dialog box, select "Convert to PDF, PostScript". See attached screenshot step3.png. [4] Click "Customize". [5] This displays a prompt. See attached screenshot step5.png. Specify a path for the customized XSLT stylesheet, for example: <...What ever you want...>\fo_custom.xsl Specify a description for the customization, for example: No black frame Then click OK to close the prompt. [6] Click Edit. This launches the "XMLmind XSL Customizer" application. See attached screenshot step6.png. [7] With the "Attribute sets" tab selected, click Add. See attached screenshot step7.png. [8] Select "first-title-page" from the "Attribute set name" combobox. See attached screenshot step8-9-10.png. [9] Select "border-style" from the "Attribute name" combobox. [10] Type "none" in the "Custom value" field. [11] Click button "Save" then click button "Quit" in the toolbar of the "XMLmind XSL Customizer" application. [11] Click OK to close the very first dialog box. This is done once for all. From now, you'll no longer have the large black frame on the title page when you'll convert your DITA map/bookmap to PDF. * FYI, the above procedure is documented in: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.kit.part.ConversionStylesheetsEditor.html * FYI, the original value of the first-title-page attribute set is: --- <xsl:attribute-set name="first-title-page"> <xsl:attribute name="border-width">0.5pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="border-style">solid</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="border-color">#404040</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> --- This attribute set is defined in <XXE_install_dir>/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/pagination.xsl -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
