I have installed FrameMaker 2017 and cannot run scripts

[brakb99591435]

Hi all,

I have recently installed FrameMaker 2017 and am unable to runs scripts.

From the FrameMaker menu I have tried File > Run and nothing happens.

I have also tried to create a new script by going file > Script > New Script and nothing happens.

I have looked in the start menu and Adobe Endscript is not there, which used to be packaged with FrameMaker 12 to create the scripts.

Is Adobe Extendscript required to be downloaded and installed to run scripts inside FrameMaker 2017?

Is there a work around to run scripts inside of FrameMaker 2017 without Adobe Extendscript.

Cheers

You need the ExtendScript Toolkit application in order to run ExtendScript scripts with FrameMaker. Try installing FrameMaker again and see if ExtendScript Toolkit is one of the installation options.

Rick and BrakB,

Unfortunately ESTK CC (ESTK version 5) is not in the FM-14 = 2017 installation. It is only in the FM-13 = 2015 installation. The installation from https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/estk requires that you install the Creative Cloud on your system - which I hesitated to do so.

Although you have installed FM-14 = 2017, you can additionally install a trial version of FM13: install only ESTK, not FM itself. ESTK does not have a separate license.
