<div dir="ltr">I'd look into FrameScript. There are many useful free scripts available, and you can write your own or contract someone to write them for you. I highly recommend Rick Quatro, whose wizardry has dramatically expanded what I can do with unstructured FrameMaker 12. <div><br></div><div>Two examples of easy, effective cleanup:</div><div>* ArchiveFM.fso does pretty much what the late Bruce Foster's Archive plugin did - it takes all the files, images, and text insets in a book, even those referenced from distant folders, and puts them in a ZIP archive. In seconds you can blow away all those extra images that aren't used in a book. </div><div>* TidyImport.fso enable you to clean up a doc with too many extra para and character tags by doing a CleanImport from a known good clean template or chapter. Not just those, but Para, Char, Table, Variable, x-ref, conditions, color defs, math defs, doc properties, object styles, reference pages and page layouts. </div><div><br></div><div>FrameScript is $179 for a single license.

Hi, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large<br>
document 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. In addition, I may be<br>
bringing in a team of 3-4 writers and I want the files to be as clean as<br>
possible. When you evolve to 20,000 pages of document from an initial 195<br>
pages in 2 years, ya get careless at times.<br>
<br>
Now...I'm in a very locked down environment, so I know I'm in for a<br>
battle...this very well can be a 3-6 month project and I may loose.<br>
<br>
Money is no object. I was able to easily justify a $500 application just to<br>
check broken links (3 bullet points in an email) , but it took 4 months to<br>
work through the process from "request to license".<br>
<br>
So...if I was to try to put together a shopping list together with as many<br>
plugin components in as few different products as possible, what should<br>
that be?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
