I am using MarkLogic to generate XML files for PDF documents which has images, formatted text (italic and bold), tables etc. Can you please provide some guidelines for the best conversion. I am using normal conversion with following pipelines:

  • Conversion Processing
  • DocBook Conversion
  • HTML Conversion
  • PDF Conversion
  • PDF Conversion (Page Layout, Image Batching)
  • Status Change Handling

The images are not maintained with their title and format also not maintained. Tables are appearing as normal paragraph in the generated XML.

Part of document conversion is building CSS files to handle the formatting, as well as grabbing the images in the document. Both go into the database. When you use a browser to view the document, make sure that the links to the images and CSS work. You may need to change them from, say, /doc1.css to something like /get.xqy?uri=doc1.css. Also, it's possible that other CSS on the page is interfering with the document's CSS.
