package book with Extendscript

[lsk2002]

I found a thread on this and went to this site...

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-extendscript.html

But....I am still unsure on how to use it. I see I have extenscript in our CS5 suite. But I don't see an archive script.

Thanks for the help!

Great news...what was the hurdle?

The script can be downloaded from the page you listed. Click on the text

"script attached" in the Code Snippets section. The link is not very

obvious. Or here is a direct link:

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/files/2011/07/Archive-v2.zip

Then follow the instructions also on that page:

==

Usage**

• Open the book or document you want to archive.

• Choose File-> Script-> Run and select the script Archive.jsx. This

will create a new menu item Archive.

• Choose the menu command:

File > Utilities > Archive Book (if a book file is active)

or

File > Utilities > Archive Document (if a document file is active)

==

Note that running the script doesn't archive the book (or document).

Rather, it sets up a menu item that will create the archive when

clicked. So you run the script once, then use the menu item from then on.

Hi,

Good to know that you liked the script. We have also shipped it within the product now with enhanced and improved functionality in Framemaker 12 update 12.0.2. Details can be found here

Dear Acnhal, meanwhile the file "http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/files/2011/07/Archive-v2.zip" is not available anymore. Would it be possible to receive it privatle or get a new public link. I would like to automate the process of copying all file depencies of a book from different folders into the book folder. Thanks!

Hello! It would be possible to have the same script? I'm using FM10 and I'm struggling to transfer all files in one folder... Many thanks in advance

Try Rick's Archive script? https://www.frameexpert.com/store/index.html 

[leano_7311]

Hello, have you been able to sort this out? 

[leano_7311]

Dear Anchal I would kindly ask if you mind to share the link again with me since it seems it isn't available anymore. Im using framemaker 10 and this script would be a life changer for me. Many thanks in advance.

I don't think Anchal is even with the FM team anymore - try reaching out to them through https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/enterprise-support.other.html#framemaker for your Adobe Support options. I'd recommend using the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including FrameMaker.
