You can change it in the pom of the current docbook being processed, like this
example:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.agilejava.docbkx</groupId>
<artifactId>docbkx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<paperType>A4</paperType>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
We could add a maven properties setting, in the parent-pom-docbook, which could
be overridden, for example:
<properties> <!-- existing -->
<bookNameRoot>tools</bookNameRoot> <!-- existing -->
<pdfPaperType>A4</pdfPaperType> <-- possible new property -->
</properties>
This would make overriding simpler.
Also, since maven can use Java System Properties, which can be set from the
command line, using -DpdfPaperType=A4, this could be specified as a command line
option.
Please feel free to suggest other approaches.
