Problem publishing PDFs from map

[Bobbert]

Hi,

I'm trying to publish a PDF from a DITA map.  When I click File > Publish > PDF File, the output for each file just shows the path to the *.pdf.ditaLinks path for each file.  No content shows, except for the title that I use for the map..  I don't have any trouble publishing PDFs for individual files, just DITA maps.

Some background: the individual files were just converted to Arbortext from Word files, and we are starting the cleanup to standardize them.

Thanks,

Bob

Arbortext has to be able to "see" your file as a DITA map. I haven't messed with this stuff for a while, but the first thing I'd do is create a new DITA map in Arbortext to get one that works as a sample. I'd then compare that sample to the DITA maps that are problematic, and see what's different. It's probably just some sort of markup mismatch that is causing Arbortext to miss the fact it is a DITA map.
