Using Extendscript to Set PDF Options in a FrameMaker Book
Hi all, Has anyone gotten Extendscript to work on setting ANY of the PDF options for a FrameMaker book, such as the PDF's default zoom or what level bookmarks are expanded at? I am trying to set this at the book level and print the book to a PS file. However, when distiller runs, it does not retain any of the settings my script set. If you have any guidance on this, please let me know.

RE: Searching the archive
Thanks Alan and Mike. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the discussion that I needed. I guess I just couldn't come up with the correct search string. Here's my issue... Using FM10 as part of TCS 3.5 Win 7 I'm creating very large, detailed, programmer-level documentation. It seems best to include some material in more than one location in the manual. Of course, I want single-source. Because of the different heading levels at which the material will appear, it seems best to insert these snippets as FM files within the two or three relevant chapters. Just including the snippet files in the book doesn't work well in this scenario, so I was thinking of using text inserts of FM files within the chapter files. The problem that I'm having is setting up cross-references and indexes within these snippet inserts. I'd also like to use newlink markers in the snippets and have gotolink markers reference the correct location where a snippet appears. I'm using gotolink because I want the reader of the PDF to be able to jump to the reference without having actual cross-reference text inserted. I know that I'm asking for a lot here. Does anyone have suggestions for one or more of these issues?
