PDF preset configuration
Configuration options vary slightly depending on whether you are configuring the preset from the Map console or the Map dashboard. Some options apply only to the Map dashboard, while others apply to both.
In cases where the same configuration has two different field labels, a / separates them in the table below. The first represents the label in the Map console, and the second represents the label in the Map dashboard.
For example, Output path/Destination Path - Here, Output path is the label used in the Map console, while Destination Path is the label used in the Map dashboard for the same configuration.
You can also use variables while setting the Destination Path. For more details about using variables, view Use variables for setting the Destination Path, Site Name, or File Name options.

* DITAVal file: Select DITAVal file(s) to generate personalized content. You can select multiple DITAVal files using the browse dialog or by typing file path. Use the cross icon near the file name to remove it. DITAVal files are evaluated in the order specified, so the conditions specified in the first file take precedence over the matching conditions specified in later files. You can maintain the file order by adding or deleting files. If the DITAVal file is moved to some other location or is deleted, it is not automatically deleted from the map dashboard. You need to update the location in case files are moved or deleted. You can hover over the file name to view the path in the AEM repository where the file is stored. You can only select DITAVal files and an error is displayed if you have selected any other file type. FrameMaker Publishing Server doesn鈥檛 support multiple DITAVAL files.
* Condition preset: Select a condition preset from the drop-down to apply a condition while publishing the output. The option is visible if you have added a condition present in the Condition Presets tab of the DITA map console. To know more about condition preset, view Use condition presets.
