Re: FM12 questions
The Fm12 package feature includes all the files in the book and all the images in an images subfolder. It does not get images referenced from an adjacent folder (I have one called Resources that includes \images with the master page images). I normally use FrameScript and the ArchiveFM.FSO free script at http://framescript.com/framescript-6-script-library/ It zips up all the files and images in use, maintaining their folder structure. For example, if you have one image in a folder on your desktop, and everything else is 19 subfolders down, it will get all 20 levels to make sure it includes that one orphan. This feature is very useful for collecting all the referenced images that are used, and not the rest. I run ArchiveFM.fso once to get a clean copy, then I delete all images in the original folder and copy the archived ones into the images folder - this way I delete all the unused images but keep all those that I am actually using.

RE: FM12 questions
Always use a non-production machine to download Trial versions ;) From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Ken Poshedly Sent: June-22-15 11:50 AM To: Craig Ede; framers Subject: Re: FM12 questions Thanks Craig, The Extendscript version is the one we downloaded and use here because there was no other alternative available. So the Packager feature creates a zip file. OK. But then is that just a simple gathering of the relevant FM book, chapter and image files or can one open the book and its member chapter in that zip file and generate a pdf file with all external and internal x-refs intact (just like you could with Bruce Foster's archive plug-in for FM 8)? That last part is REALLY important to us here. After seeing all the online snafus experienced by others who downloaded trial versions of Adobe software only to see it wipe out the previous version, I'm afraid to go that route. -- Ken in Atlanta On Monday, June 22, 2015 11:37 AM, Craig Ede craig...@hotmail.commailto:craig...@hotmail.com wrote: There is an Archiver Extendscript that came out after the release of FM10 but that had problems.

Re: FM12 questions
Ken,I have used the Packaging option in FM 12 and find it to function exactly as Bruce Fosters Archive.As far as pricing goes, you best bet to to query the Adobe website.Dave Spreadbury On Monday, June 22, 2015 10:24 AM, Ken Poshedly poshe...@bellsouth.net wrote: Questions for all you FrameMaker 12 users out there. 1.

RE: FM12 questions
There is an Archiver Extendscript that came out after the release of FM10 but that had problems. FM 2015 (aka FM 13) has a Packaging feature that puts all book content into a single zip file.
