Extracting photos/graphics from FrameMaker

From a FrameMaker 11 book, I want to extract all the imported photos and graphics and put one on each slide of a PowerPoint presentation. This way our trainer can present the photos/graphics to our trainees in person and quiz them on what is shown including the callouts.

Any idea how to do this? Or a different method for accomplishing the same training goal?

Thanks!

I'm assuming from your question that the photos / graphics were copied into

Frame rather than imported by reference (usually the preferred method /

Best Practice). (If they were imported by reference, they're already

outside the Frame file, somewhere.)

The method I'd use is to buy and use Rich Quattro's (frameexpert@

truevine.net) set of scripts for this purpose. Quick, fast, and cheap

compared to the manual methods. ;- )

No, we do import them all by reference. We want to avoid having to individually find hundreds of photo/graphic files outside of the Frame file and manually insert them into a PowerPoint.

That may make it easier.

I forget what it's called without looking things up (and I can't right

now), but there's a way inside Frame to build a list of imported by

reference items with paths....

Turn that list into a text file and you have the beginning of a script that

will copy all the items to one place. Or if you're a script wizard in

Microsoft, to insert them into PPT slides.

Again, I'd call Rick...
