Forgive me if this has been answered before, but can a FrameMaker ExtendScript script be called from a FrameMaker API client? Is it possible to pass parameters to a script this way? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rick,

You used to know how to do this with FrameScript... I figure it is about the same thing with the FDK using F_ApiCallClient()?

There were more extensive discussions about this on the old yahoo dev group, including the question about passing parameters. I think the short answer was no, you can't pass parameters. Your client would have to write some file with whatever data, then the script reads it. If I remember.

Hi Rick,

I am trying to call ExtandScript from FrameMaker API client. Based on thread information I tried to implement with following command

F_ApiCallClient("ScriptingSupport", "<path_to_sript>");
But it seems not to be working. Do you know if there is something I am doing wrong?

Thanks.
