We are utilizing the out of the box DocBook (Arbortext XML DocBook V4.0) stylesheet with a few modifications to the stylesheet.We are publishing utilizing the "For Web" option which works great. However, we would like to add a Search option within the HTML output.Can someone guide me on how to add that? or is there a stylesheet developers guide that has instructions how to add it? Thank you in advance.Sarah

In Arbortext, I've got an odd problem I can't find a solution to. Working in XML, there appear to be spaces after the period in the last sentence of a para. But there are no spaces in the xml. If I put my cursor just after the period and hit backspace, it doesn't delete the period, but instead several characters before that. See screen shots -- instead of deleting the period it deletes the y in "Treasury". I have uninstalled and re-installed version 7.0. Anyone seen this before and have a solution? It gets to be a real problem when trying to edit text in the middle of a para, because the cursor placement becomes meaningless.

Hi all., I have an doubt in S1000D publishing in arbortext editor with styler. I had downloaded the bike sample data set from S1000D website (version 5.0).

I'm trying to publish xml documents (Dynamic Docs) by creating a structure (Publication Structure) through Arbortex Publishing Engine.The problem is, when this xml document is processed by APE, the resulting output PDF is containing only file name on top of pages and rest of the PDF is blank.I'm also not able to see any graphics.

Would like to use e learning library for Arbortext Editor

Hi all, Not sure what the deal is, but I am able to build some xml to pdf using xsl-fo and XLS. I am able to build most things between the two versions of arbortext, but I am currently stuck on tables that contain proportional column widths (colwidth=integer*). It doesn't seem to be an issue if the (cals) table is larger than the page, but I feel there's a limit as I am getting [dimensions too large] fatal error when building on version 8.2. I don't get this problem building on version 7. I can't imagine why this is an issue.

Hello All,  Good day !!! We upgraded Arbortext 8.1 to 8.2 around a year ago, and for the last two days, we have been seeing a pop-up message stating that our license is about to expire. Has anyone else encountered this type of mistake while running Arbortext? This is the first time we have encountered this problem. What type of license is it mentioning? I have attached the snip for your reference Thanks in advance    Regards Eugine Prince 

One of my writers returned from vacation and finds he can no longer get his DITA maps to display correctly. They come up in an unusable state as shown in the attached screenshot. Other dialogs, including the Preferences dialog, also display incorrectly. Have tried clearing the cache, rebooting, and everything else we can think of, but cannot resolve the issue. Any suggestions? We're using version 8.1.3.1.

Would installation of PTC Abortext Styler 8.1 be necessary to add video and audio content? For that, it appears as though we would need a separate license other than the PTC Arbortext with Styler 8.1 version license that we have already.   Best regards,John P. Roy

The print preview function is no longer working.  We use this all the time. Publish to PDF is still working and can be used as a work around but it isn't ideal. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but this did not fix the issue.  Going to a newer version of Arbortext isn't an option for us.  Any ideas on how to fix this? I will attach a screenshot of the error I am getting.  

Technology evolving - Arbortext is aware. I did use Co-pilot here.
