PDF Generator Overview
The Heretto PDF Generator enables Administrators to create custom PDF transformation scenarios in Heretto CCMS.
You access the Heretto PDF Generator configuration
interface from the Main Menu .
The Heretto PDF Generator includes a DITA to HTML processor and a fast PDF publishing engine that uses CSS to style the PDF output. In addition to CSS, for advanced customizations, the Heretto PDF Generator enables you to use HTML and XSLT. The Heretto PDF Generator uses the Prince formatter (formerly Prince XML) as the publishing engine and supports the following CSS specifications.
In contrast to the Heretto PDF Generator, other publishing engines (for example, DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT)) use much less user-friendly markup languages for PDF styling.
Once you create and save a publishing scenario, you can use it to transform your DITA content. The publishing scenarios are editable so you can change the styling associated with a scenario at any time.
PDF Generator Considerations
The Prince formatter has a limitation that prevents it from processing SVG files larger than 10 MB. Ensure that your SVG images do not exceed this size. Otherwise, they will not be included in the output generated by PDF Generator.
