(DOORS/DXL) Export to pdf or print with a given template

问题


We are interested in export/print one view from formal module. As we want it can be an ofcial document we want to add our corporative template that have it own front page, and its own headers and footers pages with a given text font, size, and color, and inserted images (company symbol, clients ones).

As far as I can see, DOORS let us print adding header&footer but without images. On the other side it is possible export to Word adding a template, but I can't do it directly to pdf format or to a printer.

It is important for us that a corporative document can be directly made by doors without Word or any other editor management in order DOORS document could be directly released to clients without external changes.

Is it possible made it by a DXL script? Or there is any other option to make it?

I suppose that many users have to print (or make pdf files) using their company corporative images, and I think this can be so useful.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

JM

Is it possible made it by a DXL script?

IMHO it is. I already wrote a DXL script to export DOORS modules to a LaTeX file which can be compiled into a PDF. You will find it at the end of this answer. Feel free to adapt it to your needs. Before you can run it you need to download the source of "Smart Folder Browser" and store it besides my script as "smartFolderBrowser.inc". Die extension inc indicates that this is an include file and not a standalone DXl program.

Of course every user which wants to use such an approach needs an installed TeX distribution like MiKTeX. The DXL script could start the PDF build after the export with the DXL built-in function void system(string command).

With your custom DXL LaTeX export script you will have to full control over the layout of the resulting PDF. But be aware of the layout rules which TeX applies. It can be a very challenging task to configure (force) TeX to render a document as it has been created with M$ Word.

Which version of DOORS are you using?

In DOORS 9.3+ IBM incorporated functions of RPE into DOORS which allows you more options for exporting, including to export to PDF. However, it wasn't until DOORS 9.4.0.1 (current release) that you could build your own template in IBM Rational Publishing Engine (RPE) and use that template inside of DOORS Directly.

So the answer is that you would need one license for RPE Full from IBM so that you can create the template you are looking for, then anyone that uses DOORS in your company could export DOORS documents using that template, without additional licenses. You also need to be on DOORS 9.4.0.1.

I have also seen some companies export to Word with their headers and footers, then use Adobe Acrobat to add in their cover pages with logos and such. However this means that only people with the full license for Acrobat can generate the documents correctly.

RPE is definitely your best bet.

Good Luck.
