Conversa on macOS
Conversa ships with Apache FOP 2.8 to generate PDF files but you can also use RenderX XEP, Antenna House XSL Formatter or a customized Apache FOP if you want nicer PDF files.
Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is required to generate HTML Help in .chm format for Windows. It can be freely downloaded from Microsoft's Download Center.
XMLmind XSL-FO Converter is used to generate DOCX, RTF and ODT output from DITA files. XSL-FO Converter is a commercial product from XMLmind.
