    <example>
      <p>For example, if you always use the same rendering engine to produce PDF output for all of your projects, you
        could create a <filepath>local.properties</filepath> file in the root directory of your DITA-OT installation to
        set the <parmname>pdf.formatter</parmname> parameter and additional options for the XSL processor:</p>
      <codeblock># Use RenderX XEP Engine for PDF output
pdf.formatter = xep

# Specify the user configuration file for RenderX
custom.xep.config = /path/to/custom.config
</codeblock>
      <p>Backslash “\” characters in .properties files must be escaped with a second backslash as “\\”. If you use
        Antenna House Formatter on a Windows system, for example, you would set the path to the command using a
        properties file entry like this:</p>
      <codeblock># Use Antenna House Formatter for PDF output
pdf.formatter = ah

# Specify the path to the Antenna House Formatter command
axf.cmd=C:\\Program Files\\Antenna House\\AHFormatterV62</codeblock>
    </example>

        command line. The DITA-OT Java code does not read this file.</note>
