FrameMaker SDK question: How to get all the texts "in a page"

Hi,

I am using FDK 12.0 on Windows (using Visual Studio 2012) to make some changes in a FrameMaker document programmatically. I have never used this or any other Adobe API before and am somewhat struggling with the concepts. Primarily I am using the sample programs, coming along with the FDK to guide me.

My objective is to get "all the text present in a specific body page" of a FrameMaker document. It seems text may be placed under different objects, some of which may span across pages (e.g. a paragraph object FO_PGF). So, what should be the simplest logic of finding this?

Thanks in advance,

Joydeep

    Hi Joydeep,

    This is a complicated task that takes significant expertise with the FDK to accomplish. It is much more than I could reasonably address with a forum post. My recommendation is that you spend some more time working with the FDK and then return here if and when you have a more specific question that can be answered via this medium.

    It is possible that someone else might be willing to dive deeper, but in case not, I didn't want your post to go without some kind of answer.
