RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?
Hi John, I use two plugins/FrameScript packages very often: i-frame i-frame is a collection of scripts for FrameScript. The modules encompass scripts for everything! I like these scripts best: Scale Graphics - for me invaluable! FM2MIF2FM - Convert to/from MIF There are many more to get reports and to maintain formats. I can only recommend to have a look at the web-site. http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description.html Import formats special This plugin adds some more options to the Import Formats dialog. Specifically: User variables This is a plugin which I need very often. It's from Rick Quatro, but I couldn't find it on his homepage.

RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?
I use 6 different plug-ins from Silicon Prairie and would definitely recommend them. There’s also Table Cleaner from Rick Quatro (http://www.frameexpert.com). It’s come in very handy a few times. And all of these plug-ins are extremely affordable.

Hi John, As you know, I am a big fan of scripting. FrameMaker 11 has ExtendScript built in, so one clandestine way of adding productivity to FrameMaker without plugins is to learn to write some scripts. ExtendScript is basically Adobe's version of JavaScript on top of FrameMaker's object model. If you don't want to write them yourself, you can purchase them from others. And because scripts are compiled at runtime, you usually get the source code so you can reuse parts and pieces in your own scripts. Your learning will make things a longer term effort, but it sounds like your procurement process takes time anyway, so you may as well be adding to your skill set as you learn. I am doing an Adobe Webinar next Wednesday on ExtendScript in FrameMaker. If you have a particular task in mind and attend the webinar, I will make sure you get the script at no cost, or in exchange for a small donation to the Roswell Cancer Center in Buffalo. I welcome some good ideas for scripts that I can demonstrate. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

Hi, David. I watched their video. They seem to stress linguistics and usability, and measuring that stuff. While those are secondary factors on my end, my priority is style, format, content control consistency, and authoring speed. It's hard to explain, but my stuff isn't to convince...my stuff is to show AML methodology and compliance for use during AML model review. I have one main output; PDF, with secondary output Word.

Hi John, As you know, I am a big fan of scripting. FrameMaker 11 has ExtendScript built in, so one clandestine way of adding productivity to FrameMaker without plugins is to learn to write some scripts. ExtendScript is basically Adobe's version of JavaScript on top of FrameMaker's object model. If you don't want to write them yourself, you can purchase them from others. And because scripts are compiled at runtime, you usually get the source code so you can reuse parts and pieces in your own scripts. Your learning will make things a longer term effort, but it sounds like your procurement process takes time anyway, so you may as well be adding to your skill set as you learn. I am doing an Adobe Webinar next Wednesday on ExtendScript in FrameMaker. If you have a particular task in mind and attend the webinar, I will make sure you get the script at no cost, or in exchange for a small donation to the Roswell Cancer Center in Buffalo. I welcome some good ideas for scripts that I can demonstrate. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thank you very much.

RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?
Hi Art, I don't think the compiling of the scripts is an issue; it is getting FrameScript itself installed. IT may balk at him installing a third-party scripting plugin without a specific use-case. They may see the ability to script FrameMaker as a security threat. As I suggested before, I think he may already have the solution under his nose: ExtendScript should be installed with his FrameMaker 11 installation. Now he just needs some clandestine scripts to work with; nothing to install, but some simple ExtendScript scripts that he can run to help with his productivity. As far as IT goes, he is just using FrameMaker with the tools that it was installed with.
