Setting Up the Book-Building Application

If you’re upgrading from the Adobe FrameMaker 7.2 Application Pack for DITA and want to make use of the book-building application, you’ll need to make the following adjustments.

In the FrameMaker\ditafm\ditafm.ini file you must manually set the new structure application names. If you’re using the default applications, you should use the following values in the General section:

    DITA-StructApp=DITA-FMx-Topic
    DITAMAP-StructApp=DITA-FMx-Map
    DITABOOK-StructApp=DITA-FMx-Book

The rest of the ditafm.ini file is completely ignored. If you change the application names in the DITA-FMx > Options dialog be sure to manually update these names in the ditafm.ini file as well.

If you plan to generate output through the DITA Open Toolkit, you’ll need to review Setting Up to use the Generate Output Command.
