Need Help Automating FrameMaker Processes

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Loren...

Have you tried DoBatch or DZBatcher?

    http://www.datazone.com/english/overview/download.html

If neither of these do the trick (or you want something specific for 
your files/process), a FrameScript or custom FDK plugin, can do what you 
need.

To do this we first have to open each book separately. Then we must run UPDATE BOOK on each FrameMaker book.  Each book must then be saved as an individual PDF file.
