FrameMaker 11 has ExtendScript<br>built in, so one clandestine way of adding productivity to FrameMaker<br>without plugins is to learn to write some scripts. ExtendScript is basically<br>Adobe's version of JavaScript on top of FrameMaker's object model. If you<br>don't want to write them yourself, you can purchase them from others. And<br>because scripts are compiled at runtime, you usually get the source code so<br>you can reuse parts and pieces in your own scripts. Your learning will make<br>things a longer term effort, but it sounds like your procurement process<br>takes time anyway, so you may as well be adding to your skill set as you<br>learn.<br><br>I am doing an Adobe Webinar next Wednesday on ExtendScript in FrameMaker. If<br>you have a particular task in mind and attend the webinar, I will make sure<br>you get the script at no cost, or in exchange for a small donation to the<br>Roswell Cancer Center in Buffalo. I welcome some good ideas for scripts that<br>I can demonstrate. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.<br>Thank you very much.<br><br>Rick<br><br>Rick Quatro<br>Carmen Publishing Inc.<br>585-366-4017<br><a href="mailto:rick@frameexpert.com" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1429712527505_92262">rick@frameexpert.com</a><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: <a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a><br>[mailto:<a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a>] On Behalf Of<br><a href="mailto:john.x.posada@us.hsbc.com">john.x.posada@us.hsbc.com</a><br>Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2015 1:36 PM<br>To: framers<br>Subject: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?<br><br><br>Hi, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large document<br>set...10 books of 2,000 pages each give or take.<br><br>Because of the amount of time I spend on housekeeping, I'm ready to take a<br>stab at adding plugins that will save me time.
