Re: [Framers] Can I make a setting that will launch 4 books?

As I recall there was a specific restriction in the license against running regular FrameMaker with scripts on a shared server. It wasn't the number of licenses, they wanted $6000 or whatever for FrameMaker Server to do that. On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 10:02 AM, Peter Gold

In FM7, FrameMaker.exe accepted command-line arguments, I used them to write scripts at an old job. There were license limitations on using that to run builds on a server, you were supposed to buy FrameMaker Server to do that. On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 9:13 AM, Peter Gold

Re: [Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd

I forgot to mention that there's a pretty rough usability issue with hotspot linking to an embedded PDF: Unless you define it so that it opens in a new tab or Acrobat/Reader window (if a PDF) then the only way a user can navigate 'back' is with Alt+Left Arrow. I cannot find any way

Re: [Framers] Embedding attachments in FM that remain attachments when PDF'd

Perhaps you could make your icons where you want them in FM with the intention of *attaching* the (non-FM, non-PDF) files to the PDF post-distillation. If you can figure out how a PDF attachment can be referenced with a relative path--or, perhaps, as an anchor, like one would do to

Re: [Framers] Can I make a setting that will launch 4 books?

The WS Utilities plugin lets you specify files to open on FM launch. I have mine set to open two .book files on launch. Set it in WS_Utils_Settings.txt at FILES_TO_OPEN_ON_STARTUP. WS Utilities also lets you create a dropdown Favorites menu. I've put links to template files, style guides,

Re: [Framers] Can I make a setting that will launch 4 books?

Thanks...I've taken the route of putting a shortcut to all of my books on my Desktop, grouped by project. When I want to open the four books, I just click click click click. Works well enough for me to live with. On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 10:47 AM, Robert Lauriston wrote: >

Re: [Framers] Can I make a setting that will launch 4 books?

If you just want to open four book files with one command, I think you can create a batch file with the fully-qualified names of the book files, one on each line. On Tue, Aug 1, 2017 at 1:49 PM, John Posada wrote: > Hi, guys...over the next 2 weeks, I need to have 4 books
