Each of these     approaches have advantages and shortcomings that should be considered when preparing a customization project. Some     of these methods are considered “anti-patterns” with disadvantages that outweigh their apparent appeal. In most     cases, you should create a custom PDF plug-in.</li><li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/pdf-customization-plugin-types.html">Types of custom PDF plug-ins</a></strong><br>There are two common types of plug-ins: A plug-in that simply sets the DITA-OT parameters to be used when a     PDF is generated, and a plug-in that overrides aspects of the base DITA-OT PDF transformation. A plug-in can, of     course, do both of these things.</li><li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/pdf-plugin-structure.html">PDF plug-in structure</a></strong><br>In cases that require substantial customizations, it is often useful to organize the files in a folder     structure that mimics the hierarchy of the default PDF plug-in. This method facilitates comparisons with the default     settings in the base PDF plug-in and makes it easier to migrate customizations to new toolkit versions.</li><li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/pdf-customization-example.html">Example: Creating a simple PDF plug-in</a></strong><br>This scenario walks through the process of creating a very simple plug-in       (<code class="ph codeph">com.example.print-pdf</code>) that creates a new transformation type: <span class="keyword option">print-pdf</span>. </li><li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/pdf-customization-best-practices.html">Best practices for custom PDF plug-ins</a></strong><br>Adhering to certain development practices will properly isolate your code from that of the DITA Open     Toolkit. This will make it easier to you to upgrade to new versions of the DITA-OT when they are     released.</li><li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/pdf-customization-resources.html">Resources for custom PDF plug-ins</a></strong><br>There are several external resources that can help you generate and refine custom PDF plug-ins for the DITA     Open Toolkit.</li></ul><div class="familylinks"><div class="parentlink"><strong>Parent topic:</strong> <a class="link" href="../dev_ref/index.html" title="The Developer Reference is designed to provide more advanced information about the DITA-OT.
