<A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/">dita-users</A> Yahoo Group
is the place to be for discussing all things DITA. The <A
href="http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/">DITA Open Toolkit</A> that you downloaded
is an open source project that provides DITA to PDF transforms, among other
things. Its default FO output does not do indexes. However, the FO plugin
(separate download from that same project) is a donation from my <A
href="http://www.idiominc.com">employer</A> that uses XEP extensions for
production-quality PDF output, and that output does generate indexes. Don't
forget to check out the <A href="http://xml.coverpages.org/dita.html">DITA Cover
Page</A>.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
