Hi Scott,

What version/build of oXygen XML are you using?

The "FO PDF" transformation scenario comes as a predefined scenario in oXygen for Formatting Objects documents and we are not aware of this missing from the scenario list in the latest version available.

Therefore, after opening the .fo document, please go into the transformation scenario configuration dialog (either from oXygen menu Document > Transformation > Configure Transformation scenario(s), or by the corresponding shortcut in the toolbar) and check if the "FO PDF" scenario appears in the list.

If it does not, you should check if you have the "FO" document type association (which comes preconfigured in oXygen) enabled. For that, please go into the Options menu to Preferences > Document Type Association and check if you have "FO" in the frameworks list and that is enabled.
Also, let us know if you are using custom frameworks, from a location different by the default one in oXygen. If you do, you should also check that you have an "FO" document type properly configured in your frameworks.
To determine if you are using the default or a custom location of the frameworks, you should take a look in menu Options > Preferences > Document Type Association > Locations.

Please note that there is an "Information" view available in oXygen, which presents information about the document type used when a specific document is opened. You can access this view from menu Window > Show View > Information. Please enable the view, then open your .fo document in oXygen and note what the Information view logs.
Among other information, after opening the .fo document, you should be able to find in the Information view 2 lines, regarding the document type association used. Those should look similar to:
"[hh:mm:ss] - DocumentType changed for file: file:/location_of_your_file.fo
DocumentType: FO - path_to_the_used_framework.framework"

If you still encounter further issues and are willing to help us determine what triggers this at your side, please send us a screenshot from the "Document Type Association" preferences page, as well as a sample document for which you can not find the "FO PDF" transformation scenario in oXygen and the 2 lines extracted from the Information view I just mentioned.
You should send the files on our support email address.

Thank you and regards,
Costin

Hi,

I'd like to generate a PDF from an .fo file. When I open the .fo file in Oxygen, I thought I would see a "FO PDF" transform scenario, but I don't see it. Is there a properties setting that controls this?

Thank you,

Scott
