Question

Automate Word export

Hello,

I need to automate the Word (docx) export process. After a PDF file is generated from an automated publishing process using FrameMaker, I need to optionally export that PDF as a Word file. This has to be done without any user interaction. Is this possible? There seems to be plenty of ways to control Acrobat through IAC, but I can't see how to do what is needed. The option to export Word files or not will be set in a configuration file.

Thanks in advance

Ian

Why not just have FrameMaker produce the Word file directly?

Because FrameMaker's Word output is not good enough. We had to do a lot of post-processing in Word using VBA. Acrobat gives better results out-of-the-box.

In the meantime we have found the solution that gives us the automation we need.
