I'm sorry but XMLmind XSL Utility v4.6.0 is no longer supported and I 
don't remember if this old version behaves like v5.1.0, which I'll use 
to explain you "XMLmind XSL Utility and DITA profiling" in this email.

A DITAVAL file is a simple, short, XML file created using any XML or 
text editor.

The syntax of a DITAVAL file is documented here:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/common/about-ditaval.html#ditaval

You'll find attached to this email a sample DITAVAL file that we use for 
one of our documents.

I'm sorry but our company, XMLmind, is purely a software developer. This 
means that, unfortunately, we are not organized to make demos or to 
train our customers. All I can do for you is explain things in this email.



The procedure for applying a DITAVAL file (profiling) while building 
outputs can be described as follows:

Let's suppose you have created file "C:\dita\filters_1.ditaval".

1) Start XMLmind XSL Utility.

2) Select the conversion specification to which you want to add 
profiling. Let's suppose you have selected "ditaToPDF". See attached 
screenshot xslutil_main_window.png.

3) Click "Edit". This displays a dialog box.

4) Select the "DITA" tab.

5) Use the "Browse" button to specify the location of your DITAVAL file 
in the "Conditional processing profile" text field. For example, choose 
"C:\dita\filters_1.ditaval". See attached screenshot 
edit_dialog_box_dita_tab.png.

6) Click "OK" to close the "Edit" dialog box.

All this is done once for all. From now, when you'll convert a DITA 
document to PDF, "C:\dita\filters1.ditaval" will be automatically applied.




Of course, if you have created another DITAVAL file 
"C:\dita\filters_2.ditaval" and want to apply it, you'll have to repeat 
procedure steps 1) to 6).

However after using "Edit" to specify "C:\dita\filters_2.ditaval", using 
the "Description" tab, you may give a *different* *name* to the 
conversion, say "ditaTOPDF_2".

This way you'll be able to quickly switch between "ditaToPDF" (has 
"C:\dita\filters_1.ditaval") and "ditaTOPDF_2" (has 
"C:\dita\filters_2.ditaval").
