RE: Framescript question
Thanks Michael! I figured out what was wrong - I had Adobe PDF as my default
printer, but in the control panel I needed to turn off Rey on system fonts
only. Now my script works.
Thanks for the forum link! Perfect!

Hi Callie,
Both of your Save Book... commands work for me under Win7, FM 9.0p250, FS
5.2R1 (after I substituted a valid target location for the resulting PDF file).
You might try updating FM with the latest patch and also check to see that you
can use the FM interface to Save As PDF to that target location. One more
thing to check: if Distiller hasn't been initialized on the system your using,
that could cause problems. Might try just opening Distiller to ensure it's
functioning.
For FrameScript questions, you might have better luck over here:

I'm working on creating a script that automates all PDF builds for all our
documentation books and I seem to have run into a snag - I can get everything
to work so far except after my script opens the files, runs checks, applies
templates etc in FrameMaker, I haven't been able to command it to save the
book as a PDF. For example, here's my current simplified test script that
opens a book, opens its files, and saves it as a PDF. Everything happens
except no PDF save, no PDF created. Maybe someone could spot what I'm
missing? Did some requirement of FrameScript change with FrameMaker 9? (This
used to work in FrameMaker 7, with an earlier version of FrameScript :] )
(I also tried printing it as a PDF in my script, but it also did not work,
and didn't seem to have as many customization options.)
Help?

RE: Framescript question
Thanks to the people who sent me great sample scripts and links to framescript forum! I figured out my problem - I had Adobe PDF set as my default printer, but I also needed to go to the preferences for the Adobe PDF printer and turn off Rely on system fonts only... I thought I had done that already but it needed to be done again. Now my script works fine! Hurray for PDF build automation...

Re: Framescript Question
Hi Anita, Let's say your current anchored frame object is oAFrame. You can use this to scroll it into view. Set oPgf = oAFrame.TextLoc.Object; Find TextRange(oPgf) ScrollTo; Then you can use a YesNo message box. MsgBox Mode(YesNo) Button(iButton) 'Do you want to move this frame?'; If iButton = YesButton // Branch to code to fix frame. Else // Continue loop to find next frame. EndIf Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com Hi all -- Framescript question--Frame 7.0p579, FrameScript 4.1R2. I have a script that moves through a book and sets the left margin of each graphic to a certain distance based on the context of the anchored frame. The basic logic is: If the preceding paragraph tag is A, set the margin to X. If it's B, set it to Y ... and so on. This part works great. I now have a book that requires individual inspection of each graphic. I need to see it to know whether to change it. The problem is that when my existing script runs, it doesn't bring each anchored frame into view in the Frame window. All I see is the first page of the document and a bunch of flickering as the graphics are changed. Is there a way to get the focus of the window to change as part of the script, so that I just click Yes or No for each frame? I'd rather not have to scroll manually to each anchored frame.
