Either I am doing something right or I am missing something. I am able to create individual postscript files, which are then distilled to PDF, without any special scripts by doing the following:
== Default printer is the Adobe PDF printer instance. With the book file active and all chapters closed. Select File > Print Book or select the chapters to be printed and select Print Selected Files. Set the following options in the Print Book or Print Selected Files in Book dialog Print Page Range: All Odd-Numbered Pages Even-Numbered pages Print to File (Browse to the location to store the .ps files) Save Book As: Separate File for Each Document Generate Acrobat Data What this gives me is separate .ps files for each, or the selected, chapter of the book. Then you distill each of the .ps files to produce individual .pdfs of each. == Each postscript file is the name of the respective chapter. Works every time. -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+david.spreadbury=tellabs....@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+david.spreadbury=tellabs.com at lists.frameusers.co m] On Behalf Of Rick Quatro Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 6:50 AM To: Wim Hooghwinkel (Scriptware); Framers (Frame) Subject: Re: Print book - separate print jobs Hi Wim, There is no way to change this in the FrameMaker interface. There are two ways you could script this: 1) Write a script that would open each file in the book and save it as PDF, using the correct name. 2) Write a script to rename the files after they are created. Personally, I think (1) would be a better choice. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Yes, But my question is: using this option cteates a .ps file with name constructed as: <bookname>(<filename> (with a left bracket in the middle....). I only want the file name as name for the .ps file. Is there a setting somewhere to change this?
