A kind of wrapper for FM-Scripts

So the best way would be for you:

1. Open FrameMaker manually

2. Specify a source of FM-Files (a directory with e.g. 5 .fm files) - *

3. Iterate through the directory and open all the .fm files in FM - *

4. Run a jsx script for ALL of the files - *

5. save all files - *

6.close FM manually

*you can do this with ExtendScript

@MeanGuy - I'm sure @Stefan Gentz will explain it better, but basically the idea is that your regular copy of FM has licensing that doesn't permit you to run it (legally) in the way you describe; for doing that, you need to go the route of using the Publishing Server.

The short answer is, Yes, all of this is possible with ExtendScript and FrameMaker. Stefan is referring mainly to the licensing issue and I will leave that discussion up to him.

Hi Yannick,

for this kind of automatization you would need a license of FrameMaker Publishing Server. Drop us a line at techcomm@adobe.com and we will be happy to walk you through the details and steps.
