Get the paragraph in page by page from framemaker using script ?

[hemac8116991]

hi,

    I have used below code for count the paragraph from  framemaker.

function CountPgfs(doc) {
var pgf, paragraphCount = 0;
pgf = doc.FirstPgfInDoc;
while (pgf.ObjectValid() === 1) {
paragraphCount += 1;
pgf = pgf.NextPgfInDoc;
}
return paragraphCount;
}

This code display paragraph count for whole framemaker document  including masterpage ,referencepage and bodypage.But i need to display the paragraph  count in page by page like only bodypage paragraph using framemaker script.Please suggests if any ideas.

Hi,

 Here is a quick little function to get the page type for a paragraph. It returns a string, one of "BodyPage", "MasterPage", "RefPage", or "HiddenPage". It's not the way I would put the code together, but it should at least give you an idea how to do it. Hope this helps.

function getPgfPageType(doc, pgf)
{
  var pageType = "";
  var frame = pgf.InTextFrame;
  var pageFrame = null;
   
  while(frame.ObjectValid())
  {
     pageFrame = frame;
     frame = frame.FrameParent;
  }
  if(pageFrame)
  {
     var page = pageFrame.PageFramePage;
     var pageType = page.constructor.name;
  }
    
  return pageType;    
}

How to split Framemaker document? If 10 pages of framemaker document split  like 1-5 pages in  first document and 6-10 pages in second document using framemaker scripting.Please Suggests if any ideas.

[Russ Ward]

I think you would just delete pages 6-10, then do a Save() with parameters to make it a "save as". Then reopen the original document and do the same for pages 1-5. There are a number of variables involved here and your requirements are somewhat vague... so that's the most I can suggest for now.

Is it possible to read pgadmin (PostgreSQL) database table using extendscript? Please suggests if any ideas.

[Russ Ward]

I certainly cannot answer that question with any precise answer. I am sure that if the database has an API, then it is possible. Especially if it is an HTTP rest API. But I don't know anything about that database.

The way I am handling databases now is getting xml dumps and then processing the xml with ExtendScript. It is an extra step in the process, but most database admins are able to easily supply me with xml from their database.
