Thanks, but please try to refer to the documentation before sending us 
support requests, as support requests are in principle limited to one 
topic per week and per customer. See "XMLmind XSL-FO Converter support 
policy" -- http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/support_policy.html

You should find the answers to most your "HOW TO" questions in these two 
documents:

* XMLmind DITA Converter Manual
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/index.html

* XMLmind XSL Utility - Online Help
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/index.html

(XMLmind DITA Converter, our in-house DITA processor, is embedded in 
XMLmind XSL Utility, the application you use.)

No, otherwise this would have been documented in "XMLmind DITA Converter 
Manual" -- http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/index.html

Yes, see XSLT stylesheet parameters: header-left, header-center, 
header-right in 
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__header-left

For example, if I pass parameter:

header-left

with value:

{{image(file:/home/hussein/icons/logo_xmlmind/icon_small.svg)}} XMLmind

to the DITA XSLT stylesheets generating PDF, I'll get the XMLmind logo 
followed by text " XMLmind" at the left of each page header.

Notice the use of an absolute URL in variable {{image()}}. A relative 
URL or a filename won't work here.

header-left, header-center, header-right may contain a mix of literal 
text and {{XXX}} variables. Of course, just specifying a variable such 
as {{image(ZZZ)}} works fine.

Attached screenshot shows you that you can specify XSLT stylesheet 
parameters directly in the "Transform" tab.

Note that helper application "XMLmind XSL Customizer" also allows to 
specify XSLT stylesheet parameters, so may be you'll prefer specifying 
these parameters in the XSL customization file you have created yesterday.
