Third party tool to automatically created PDF from a FrameMaker book file

[Keith Soltys]

WebWorks ePublisher can create PDFs although I’ve never heard of anyone using it just to do that. Quadralay has a tool called AutoMap to automate ePublisher builds. No idea on cost or scripting capability – I suggest contacting them directly.

Subject: Third party tool to automatically created PDF from a FrameMaker book file

Hi all,

We're creating documentation in PDF format from FrameMaker (for a few lucky projects). At the moment, I manually create a PDF and place it in a specific folder where it is picked up by the build machine. The manager, however, finds this to be "old-fashioned" and wants the build machine to create the PDF directly from the FrameMaker files.

I believe that there's a very expensive tool available from Adobe that will do this but I'm hoping that a third-party vendor has created a tool that will do this at a more moderate price.

Has anyone heard of anything that could do this and be incorporated into a script?

Mark
