[Framers] Total Page Count Variable

[Craig Ede]

Books are divided into files for two reasons in my world. If there is very heavy use of graphics, the single file approach becomes unworkable because file file bogs down. Another reason is to divide up the document into chucks that the various SMEs can work on without locking everyone else out of the document.

For the last ten years or so, since computers have had enough memory /
horsepower that it isn't a problem, I put all the chapters in a single
.fm file. Then you don't have to worry about someone adding a file to
the end and screwing up the unfortunate kludge required because Adobe
never added the book-level variables users have asked for repeatedly.
