AEM Sites output not working properly with updated DITA-OT

Question

We need to update the DITA-OT that is included with AEM Guides to get a newer version of FOP. I have managed to migrate our custom PDF plugins to the new OT (4.3.4), but the AEM Sites output is not working. The files are processed properly by the DITA-OT, but are not getting handed over to Guides to create the site. I notice differences in the log output when publishing with different DITA-OT versions. I need a few hints on how to get the job-helper.xsl working in the newer DITA-OT.

Working DITA-OT:

copy-flag-check:

copy-flag:

[job-helper] Processing /opt/aem/launcher/profiles/ditamaps/ditamap15676432144876924428/temp/temp20251105141348914/.job.xml to /opt/aem/launcher/profiles/ditamaps/ditamap15676432144876924428/temp/temp20251105141348914/flagimage.list

@1huntley : the copy-flag logs that you are pointing may show up depending on content and the variables in build.xml or job.xml - i.e. there can be content scenarios where these logs are not printed or these can be completely omitted depending on the log level in OT.

However the problem you are stating seems to be more related to :

- either integration of transtype/plugin "xhtml" which is used for normalization

- or in the updated custom DITA-OT, you may have to recheck the changes in build_init.xml listed in this article

If above recommendations does not help then, probably you can:

- share a copy of DITA-OT you are using to assess this further

- share the screenshot of the output page hierarchy and complete DITA-OT logs
