Hello oXygenites: Today I am endeavoring to follow guidelines for creating Accessible PDFs, with "accessible" being in that technical sense we all know, in addition to its more general sense. Apache documentation (eg https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.3/accessibility.html) describes how I can set an <accessibility>true</accessibility> in the fop.xconf file to get at least some accessibility features in my PDFs. Of course, I find a copy of this file in the libraries of the oXygen distribution (and once also inside a DITA framework). It has admin permissions. To turn this feature on, is my best approach to edit this file with admin rights or is there a better way? Should I be considering using a framework for this project and if so, how would I set it up for the framework? Assuming there is no way to configure it per Project (maybe even better). Best regards, Wendell -- ...Wendell Piez... ...wendell -at- nist -dot- gov... ...wendellpiez.com... ...pellucidliterature.org... ...pausepress.org... ...github.com/wendellpiez... ...gitlab.coko.foundation/wendell...

Hello friends, I found the dialog box under Options / Preferences / XML/ PDF Output / FO Processors which looks promising. Let me know if there's anything more I have missed, thanks! -- Wendell On Mon, Nov 1, 2021 at 10:42 AM Wendell Piez <wapiez@wendellpiez.com> wrote:

Hi Wendell, Right the Preferences->"XML / PDF Output / FO Processors" page can be saved at Project level and you can set a "Configuration file" there using editor variables like "${pd}". If you want full control over this you can also maybe distribute an entire set of FOP libraries with the framework, create an ANT build file in the framework which runs the transformations, then create pre-defined transformation scenarios at framework level to run the ANT scenarios.

Radu, thanks! Yep, I got there in the end ... it works! More questions to come, but those are probably FOP questions so may not come here -- Thanks, Wendell On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 1:18 AM Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu) < support@oxygenxml.com> wrote:
