Hi Elisa,
I have a FrameScript script that does extensive format and page mapping for
FrameMaker documents and books. The cost for the script is $80 and it
requires FrameScript (http://www.framescript.com).
In my opinion, using FrameScript would be a better approach than perl for
FrameMaker automation. With FrameScript, you can manipulate the regular
FrameMaker binary (.fm) documents instead of MIF files. If you are
interested in this approach, please provide details on what you need to do,
and I can give you some ideas and estimates. Thank you very much.

Subject: template mapping/perl scripting questions
Hi Framers!
Who knows of tools for mapping Frame paragraph styles/templates? I
found documentation about TemaplateMapper but it looks like it's no
longer available. what about Silicon Prairie Software's Paragraph
tool?
I'm also thinking about automating some other procedures that are
necessary for a conversion project so I need some basic information
about perl scripting--I'll need to convert hundreds of files to mif
and work with them. What's a good resource for information on perl
scripts, especially for working with mif files. I have found a few
libraries that look like they will help but need to backpedal so I can
set up the correct environment on a Linux machine.
