Hello Framers, I am using FrameMaker 9 on a Windows XP system.
I have been using EPS format graphics, created with Illustrator (CS4) and Photoshop (CS4), in my FrameMaker books. This works well for two main reasons: I can double click the graphic within FrameMaker and the EPS file opens in Illustrator When I generate a PDF version of a book, I can search for words within the PDF and the text in the graphics is included in that search. Now I would like to save my graphics in PDF format in Illustrator and import the PDF into FrameMaker files. The trouble is that when I double click the graphics in FrameMaker I start Acrobat, not Illustrator. If I set up Windows File Types to associate .PDF files with Illustrator, then I am stuck with Illustrator opening all the PDF files I read (mainly the FrameMaker User Guide). So I have been trying to set up FrameMaker's Graphics Context menu (the right click menu) to have an option for starting Illustrator. But I can't figure out how to do it. The Graphics Context menu as supplied has "Edit with RoboScreenCapture". I thought that the RoboScreenCapture entry might be a clue on what to do, but I can't find RoboScreenCapture mentioned in any Frame cfg files. Does anyone know if it is possible to set up a menu option in FrameMaker to launch another application? Can I set up FrameMaker so that Illustrator is launched by double clicking a PDF graphic, that would be nice?
