Custom default output presets - pptx and docx

Hi AEM Community,

 

AEM Guides supports creating output in the most popular formats like AEM Site, PDF, HTML5, EPUB, JSON, and custom output through DITA-OT, Native PDF, and FMPS.

 

 

I want to export my output as pptx and docx. Is there any way to do so?

@frameexpert, @divrajsingh, @vivekkumar, @punagpal, @aswinilakshminarayanan 

 

Thanks,

Rohan Garg

@rohan_garg Generation of any output type from DITA content largely depends on the DITA-OT plugins that are configured in the DITA-OT installed. (AEM Sites, JSON, Native PDF are exceptions as they use Adobe Guides engine)

 

In AEM Guides, the presets which are available on output tab are enabled via plugins which are already installed in it.

  • You can add more plugins if they are available on DITA-OT github plugins library
    • To understand how to add additional plugins in DITA-OT provided by AEM Guides - check this post
  • For DITA to docx - you can refer the plugin available on this page
  • For DITA to PPT - it is generally custom, so
    • you may want to see how to create custom DITA-OT plugins - check this post
    • some thoughts around this are available on partner portals - an example

I hope this helps.

    @divrajsingh - Thanks for the response!

    I have added 2 plugins "com.antennahouse.wml" and "com.elovirta.ooxml" to the dita-ot-3.5.

    Zipped it and uploaded it to /apps/project/dita_resources/DITA-OT.zip as nt:file

    Then created a custom profile with assigned path and AEM DITA-OT Zip Path.

     

    Is there any other step to follow to generate the docx output?

    Currently, I am only seeing the default options (AEM Site, Custom, HTML5, JSON, Native PDF and PDF)

    There is an option in Custom to configure params like DITA-OT command line arguments and others as shown below but not sure if it is to be configured -

      When adding the plugins to DITA-OT - did you also run the integrator?

       

      Running DITA-OT plugin on local 

      • In the DITA-OT folder you generally have sample content under docsrc/samples/taskbook.ditamap 
      • Once you have integrated the plugins in the DITA-OT then you can run following command to test your plugin by running following command under the directory "<path-to-DITA-OT>/DITA-OT/bin"
        • dita --input=docsrc/samples/taskbook.ditamap --format=<plugin-name>

       


      @divrajsingh - No I didn't run the integrator.

      However running the plugin on local is generating the docx format.


      This is for the com.elovirtal.ooxml plugin - 

      Supported transformation types are ah.wml, dita, docx, eclipsehelp, html5, htmlhelp, markdown, markdown_gitbook, markdown_github, pdf, pdf2, xhtml.
