Question

Is there a way to create a PDF by batching multiple books?

hello.
I am using Framemaker 2019.

There are dozens of book files.
I need to create a PDF of each book.
It takes about 20 minutes to create a PDF of a book with Publish.
Is there a way to make it in one batch?
thank you

    Could you insert books into books in subfolders? Might that work?...

    Hi,

     

    With the right Extendscript script you could easily publish the single books to PDF files.

    However as far as I know the licence of regular FrameMaker does not allow this.

    You would need FrameMaker Publishing Server.

     

    Best regards

    thank you

    I have to find another way.

    Or maybe I should make a keystroke macro.
