Question

Convert FrameMaker to PDF file format called from Java

I need to convert a FrameMaker file to PDF format using a Java plugin program (Windows environment). Is there a way to do it by calling a routine in FrameMaker or Adobe from a Java program that would lets say provide a path+file name (FrameMaker v8.0 or before) and expect a path+file name (PDF)?
Any information would be great!
We are currently upgrading our EMC Documentum from 5.2.1 to 5.3.6 and the Content Transformation Service that was doing it builtin before is not doing it anymore for FrameMaker files. They provided us with plugin tools to create one in Java.

    You could use Java to call a command line routine like Datazone's
    DZbatcher (see http://www.datazone.com/english/overview/download.html
    ) that would allow you to create PDF output from existing FM
    documents/books.
