Hi Stephen,

If you have FrameScript 6, you can use this code to convert all of the text insets in a document to text. It could be modified to work on all of the documents in a book. If you don't have FrameScript, I can look and see if a function like this is available in ExtendScript, which is built into FrameMaker 12. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Thank you very much.

Function FlattenTextInsets oDoc
//
Local oTi(0), iResult(0);

// First, unlock all of the insets.
Set oTi = oDoc.FirstTiInDoc;
Loop While(oTi)
  Set oTi.TiLocked = 0;
  Set oTi = oTi.NextTiInDoc;
EndLoop

// Convert the text insets to text.
Set oTi = oDoc.FirstTiInDoc;
Loop While(oTi)
  Set iResult = eUtl.ConvertTiToText(oTi);
  Set oTi = oDoc.FirstTiInDoc;
EndLoop
//
EndFunc

Hi,

I am using FM 12 and have several books with over 70 documents, all containing text insets.

When I generate the monthly PDFs, I copy the files to my PC, convert all the text insets document by document for each book, then update the books and print the PDFs.

I convert the text insets because I have some titles in my text insets.

I am looking for a way to convert all of the text insets throughout a book automatically.

Any suggestions (scripts, add-ins)?

Many thx,

Stephen O'BRIEN
