Package feature?

[Jabberwocky88676671]

Hi, I have just downloaded the Framemaker trial 2015 release, I need to package a document for my translators. 2015 will not include files i.e. my images if they are not in the root folder. Is this right?

Indesign will collect all objects and place them in one folder.

There's an archiving script available that helps package up files in FM - check out the Adobe Tech Comm blog

Thanks Jeff,

I will have a look.

The script has the same problems as the Package command in FM2015. I wish it would work exactly like InDesign. There is a "Book Transfer" command in the Squidds Finalyser package. It's expensive, but there are some other really time saving utilities.

Finalyser

Maybe that was what I was thinking about - I guess there's no way to get the old Archive plug-in (from the late Bruce Foster) working in newer versions of FM...

[TomSchenck]

Correct,

Bruce Fosters Archive plug-in is exactly what we all need now.

Me too!!!

e There is a "Book Transfer" command in the Squidds Finalyser package. It's expensive...

So expensive for features I wish were part of the Fm application. But it has saved me days of manual labor.

Maybe we need to send a friendly reminder. To make a wishlist entry, use this link: Home

Thanks, I have added it on the feature wish list, lets hope they are listening

Yoiu might want to contact Rick Quatro of Carmen Publishing (and FM's scripting guru): Carmen Publishing Inc.

He's written a better archiving script (in both FrameScript and Extendscript) that he's given away in the past with a charitable donation for his bike-rides (Ride for Roswell). He just may have version available that isn't listed in his commercial scripts...
