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.

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. -- Elisa R.
