A new blog on the topic “Create a Book Packager using Extendscript” has been posted at http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-extendscript.html

The blog demonstrates a script that creates a Book Packager that can be used to gather all the assets of a book or a document from differenet locations into a single target directory given by the user. The archive can be then be easily shared across as a self-contained book. The script is attached for your reference.

This describes how Extendscript can be used to create plug-ins and utilities that can ease repetitive workflows and do things with FrameMaker that you always wanted to do.

The ZIP file containing the script will not open: "Cannot open file; it

appears not to be a valid archive." I opened the file in a text editor

and saw that it is actually a RAR file. When I changed the file

extension, it opened fine.

Mike,

I guess it depends upon the extraction tool used. It opened just fine for me using 7-zip. However, you are correct that it is using RAR compression.

Neither WinZip, Windows Explorer, or whatever unzip utility is built

into Directory Opus would open the file for me, until I changed the

extension. Then all three handle it without problem.


Those of you still facing problems on using the attachment, please try with the new attachment Archive-new.zip. All the extractors should work with it.
