    • To customize the transformation or change the scenario that is associated with the document, use the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Ctrl + Shift + C (Command + Shift + C on macOS)) action from the toolbar or the Document > Transformation menu.
  2. Select the DocBook PDF transformation scenario in the DocBook 4 or DocBook 5 section.
