[Framers] ANN: Where is my PDF?

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the congratulations!

In fairness to Adobe, there are some benefits to their approach. The Publish
pod lets you produce multiple outputs with a single command and a single
settings file, which is useful if your workflow requires this. And,
conceptually, PDF is just another output format so it makes sense to put in
the Publish pod with the others. If you are just producing PDFs and doing it
fairly often, the new workflow can be a bottleneck. But I do enjoy the
convenience of just double-clicking on the PDF icon in the Publish pod and
not seeing the Save As PDF dialog box every time. The biggest issue for me
is finding the PDF after it is created, and thus my script.

My motives aren't purely altruistic; I make a living scripting around
people's FrameMaker problems. And scripting is just plain fun.

Rick

Many congratulations! It's kinda funny that you've felt the need to write a
script that codes round a bit of Adobe GUI nonsense. I thought it was only
Word that made people think 'Why did it do *that*? ;-)

Have a great year, and a long and happy life.
