Resolving Topicrefs in XML Author

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:09:42 GMT

This another question that comes up in my evaluation of XML Author. If I want to resolve topicrefs in a ditamap, the documentation and videos tell me to select a topicref in the Document View and then click DITA > Resolve Topicref(s). However DITA > Resolve Topicref(s) is greyed out. Only valid in full FrameMaker? Not available in evaluation copy? Silly user error?

Has anyone gotten this to work as described?

Using ditaval files with XML Author

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 14 Apr 2014 16:26:20 GMT

I've been evaluating XML Author and am trying to determine how to use ditaval files with it. If I want to save a ditamap as a book for PDF creation, the Prompt for DitaVal File check box is greyed out. Does anyone know why this might be the case? Is the use of ditavals limited to a full implementation of FrameMaker?

I tried adding PromptForDitaval=1 to the [General] section of the ditafm.ini file to no avail.
