I would say that checkin comments on code should be written in such a way that
they can be used for release notes. Force standards for the checkin comments.
Then the build machine can be setup to extract the comments and spit out at
least a text document containing the notes.

Well.. as someone who functions primarily as a designer, this doesn't sound so
crazy to me – some fonts have godawful quote marks. But couldn't they be
replaced/have a character style applied at the last minute using a Grep
search or something?

As Heiko pointed out, you're actually getting curly quotes, you just
don't like the subtle way the font designer drew them.
I'd live with it or change fonts. Overriding certain glyphs with
another font is crazy.

Not FDK .. but the MS function SQLExecDirect() (and friends). It works

Hi Robert, hi Tammy,
the two glyphs are quite similar, but not the same. The left double
quote is a little thicker at the bottom (66), the right double quote is
a little thicker at the top (99). Both glyphs in Avenir are pointing
from down left to up right, so they look very much alike. There is
Looks like that's how Avenier Next LT is designed. 201c and 201d use
the same glyph.

Can you write the release notes in such a way that the content can be
embedded as an insert into the user guide? Can you automate the production
flow to some extent? Can time consuming tasks like repagination that do not

Hmm. You can connect to ODBC through the FDK .. could probably expose
that to an ExtendScript call. Of course, if you're going to do part of
it in FDK, you might as well do all of it there.
I wonder if it's possible to make Ajax calls from ExtendScript ..
probably not. But if that was possible
Thanks, Rick. Appreciated. Most of my automated publishing projects are
XML-based. But on occasion (like this one) the client wants to go
directly from an ODBC connection.
Alas, there are still good reasons to use FrameScript!

Hi Alan,
The short answer is no, ExtendScript doesn't have any built-in ODBC
capabilities. The closest you can get is to see if your database content can
be exported to XML and then use ExtendScript to parse and import the XML to

Colleagues,
I'm a bit spoiled by the FrameScript database utilities, and am trying
to do similar database publishing with Extendscript. For those on the

Anyone got problems using the svg2pdf filter in FM2015?
I have to choose dpi. Is that because it is converted to PDF?
Anyway, it seems the svg graphic has to have a given size in width x
