I do not have mac/linux machine, however I would like to add a custom DITA OT plugin to AEM guides and then generate output using the same.Please let me know the process

Hi,I have added the CQ-Action-Scope: ResourceOnly Header to the Dispatcher flush agent to invalidate particular resource. Still all the stat files from root folder are getting touched if I publish any page and the other pages also invalidated as the .stat file is modified. Please find below dispatcher logs. \[Tue May 07 09:54:09 2024] [W] [pid 3682189:tid 139985975879424] No farm matches host 'flush', selected last farm 'publishfarm'[Tue May 07 09:54:09 2024] [I] [pid 3682189:tid 139985975879424] Activation detected: action=Activate [/content/project/techdocs/us/en/testrhcategory/testrhproduct/testrhpage][Tue May 07 09:54:09 2024] [I] [pid 3682189:tid 139985975879424] Touched /mnt/var/www/html/.stat[Tue May 07 09:54:09 2024] [I] [pid 3682189:tid 139985975879424] Touched /mnt/var/www/html/content/.stat[Tue May 07 09:54:09 2024] [I] [pid 3682189:tid 139985975879424] Touched /mnt/var/www/html/content/project/.stat[Tue May 07 09:54:09 2024] [I] [pid 3682189:tid 13998597

We upgraded to AEM Guides v4.4 on Monday. The Keyrefs in the topics (that go to keys in the map) are no longer rendering in any output. Not in the generic-out-of-the-box Basic (Native PDF Publishing) output, and not in any of our custom Native PDF Publishing PDFs templates/presets. (The keyref links do render properly in the AEM Sites output.)I've tried setting the scope and processing-role and nothing is working.Does anyone have any ideas about how to get our cross-ref links via keyrefs to work again? (The direct xrefs do work, but with shared topics, etc, that isn't a viable option.)(All keys and keyrefs worked fine in our previous version of AEM Guides v4.3.1.390). Versions on Production (Prod)AEM Guides (UUID) 4.4 On-Prem Installation (24 Jun 2024)AEM 6.5.19 (Service Pack 19) On-Prem Installation (15 Jan 2024)

Are we able to mark more than 1 review task as complete at the same time? If not, I'd love to see that capability introduced to Guides. 

I have a long simple table, but the text doesn't wrap correctly when generating a PDF. I've tried to adjust the relative widths, using <p> tags, nothing seems to fix the issue.

A nice feature would be a way to download an Excel file of a search results list. I see that I can download the actual files or save them to a Smart Collection, but a list would also be helpful.

While doing incremental site publishing, a user can select topics which needs to be updated incrementally during AEM Site Generation. I have a custom post processing workflow which gets triggered once the execution of aem sites completes.In the custom workflow I need the list of topics which user selected during incremental site generation. Currently I don't see that getting passed to the metadata of the post processing workflow.Is there any way I can retrieve that topics information programmatically in post processing workflow.@divrajsingh 

Do you have an estimated timeframe for the availability of the report (for authors) that shows the version labels for maps and topics? You could also suggest how to download a view of a baseline, which shows the versions and labels.Is the custom report described in, Chapter 3 Customized Reports. "Generating a report of versions, check-in comments and labels": https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-guides-learn/assets/aem-guides-expert-ses...an available substitute to use, and could you please provide the exact steps to access it if those documented aren't current? Also, can only admins access it or can authors as well? Thanks! 

Hi,I have to flatten the ditamap and its topic before generating the custom output preset. After choosing the custom preset in the output file i need to get flattened file. please provide me solution for this requirement.    

Hello AEM Forum,Dan here, always eager to contribute towards AEM solutions and simplifications. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to something I've been working on ― a chatbot named "AEM Expert". I'm excited, but also, curious to see your reactions to this AI-powered buddy. "AEM Expert" isn't just another bot but a new assistant powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, designed specifically for AEM. As a single developer, I've tried to put in all my dedication and resources to make this a top-tier assistant for AEM debugging and problem-solving. I wanted to provide a centralized, accessible source of information for AEM issues. It may sound ambitious, but the bot has already ingested all the public AEM documentation and can provide solutions on a wide range of topics. So, "Why this chatbot?" Well, the goal was always to create a concise and instant solution for AEM difficulties. But enough about what I think, now, it's time for some crucial input. You can check our new friend at

The only way I have found to view the version history of an AEM Guides DITA object is through the preview pane of the Assets > Files view. Is there a way to view this information from within the XML Editor or even the Map Dashboard? AEM Guides (UUID) v4.2 On-Prem Installation (late April/early May 2023)AEM 6.5.15 On-Prem Installation

Hi, I'm quite new to AEM Guides/XML Documentation and I am currently trying to figure out how to get "data" elements from a DITA Map in the generated AEM Site. To clarify, the DITA Map has the following structure:<map>   <title>XXX</title>   <data>      <image id="logo" href="GUID-123asd123.jpg" ></image>      <xref format="txt" href="GUID-asd123qwe.txt" id="copyright">   </data>   <topicref ... ></topicref></map> I want to use contents of "data" element in AEM Site pages, e.g.: - show the brand logo on top of each page according to the "image" tag in Map  - show the copyright disclaimer in footer section of each page according to "xref" tag in Map I did some experiments with custom Design template for AEM Site preset and custom mappings between DITA elements and AEM components (elementmapping.xml), but I'm not able t

We have a sub-map that is used within several maps, and conditions are applied to topics in the sub-map. We haven't had an issue doing this with SDL's LCA, but is this allowed in AEM Guides (v4.2)? The topics in the sub-map are not properly excluding as expected for ORed conditions (e.g. a topic with props="analog ioLink" showing up in the "discrete" output when it should be excluded). (Detailed explanation included in the PDF uploaded here.) Or should I submit this as a support ticket in the Adobe Admin Console? AEM Guides (UUID) v4.2 On-Prem Installation (late April/early May 2023)AEM 6.5.15 On-Prem Installation

Hello, In the Guides view, how can I generate a report or a listing of all topics in my map with columns for Version Number and Version Label? I don't have access to generating baselines as a quick way to review these attributes.  In the Manage tab for a map, I see several reports. The Topic List report doesn't include these attributes, and the Metadata report has a Tags dropdown but Version Labels isn't an option. I've tried selecting the Standard Tags option but the versions don't display.  Q:- Are the Version Labels used for dynamic baseline generation a different type of tag than those available within the topics? - Is there another type of report or view that non-admins have access to with this information? Thanks!

By default it looks like for AEM Site generation the meta description in the header is getting added byfmdita/components/dita/headAnd is looking for jcr:description.I expected that somewhere in the publish that shortdesc would have been set in the AEM site files as the jcr:description but that does not appear to be the case.  Should that be expected behavior? The shortdesc ends up in the published node structure so we could look to pull that property instead of the default.Any pitfalls or concerns with taking that approach?

Step 1: Create a global map for storing your keys. Create a map and add the keyref element to it.     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "technicalContent/dtd/map.dtd"> <map id="map.ditamap_ffbdbf06-8658-4311-ad84-1c631bba904f"> <title>global-keys-map</title> <keydef keys="adobe"> <topicmeta> <linktext>Adobe Systems</linktext> </topicmeta> </keydef> <keydef keys="AEM"> <topicmeta> <linktext>Adobe Experience Manager</linktext> </topicmeta> </keydef> </map>     Here we have defined two definitions, as shown above, provided a keyref as “AEM” for the “Adobe Experience Manager” text. Step 2: Add this global key map to your publication map. Now add this map to your publication map     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//O

We would like to have a single location (AEM) for our content. We want to author in DITA and then export/convert the DITA to markdown for use in our GitHub documentation. Also, we would like to import some of our markdown docs into AEM and convert them to DITA so that we no longer need to manage the content in two source systems and use two different markup languages.

In some of our larger manuals, we need to be able to use multiple variable (keydef) maps: some with text keydefs and some with image keydefs (or a mix of both types of keydefs in the same variable map file). Currently, as long as the keydefs are text only, we can have variable maps inserted into our primary map, and the variable/keys generate without any problems. Image keydefs must be placed outside of variable maps and inside the primary map to generate the output correctly. Is there any way to be able to have variable/keydef map files that include both the image keydefs and text keydef? AEM Guides (UUID) v4.2 On-Prem Installation (late April/early May 2023)AEM 6.5.15 On-Prem Installation

REQUIREMENT You are managing DITA content in AEM, and you want to publish that content to (say) PDF output. But you have metadata for your publication(ditamap) managed as AEM metadata - and you want to pass this metadata to the publishing engine to use it in the output.   Let us understand this with an example. You have some AEM metadata, say "docstate" or "publisher" or "description" in AEM metadata schema, and you want to show this metadata on front page of the PDF output. Where we are:1. Managing the publication/ditamap metadata in AEM assets2. And the publication is published to PDF output using DITA-OT (pdf2 plugin)                   IMPLEMENTATION Part 1: Setup metadata in AEM Add custom metadata fields in AEM as desired (for this example 'docstate', 'description' were available out of the box, we added the 'publisher' field in this case using AEM Metadata Schema) Add a metadata field 'published' as shown in screenshot
