RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

[Craig, Alison]

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.

Rick

Hi, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large document
set...10 books of 2,000 pages each give or take.

Because of the amount of time I spend on housekeeping, I'm ready to take a
stab at adding plugins that will save me time. In addition, I may be
bringing in a team of 3-4 writers and I want the files to be as clean as
possible. When you evolve to 20,000 pages of document from an initial 195
pages in 2 years, ya get careless at times.

Now...I'm in a very locked down environment, so I know I'm in for a
battle...this very well can be a 3-6 month project and I may loose.

Money is no object. I was able to easily justify a $500 application just to
check broken links (3 bullet points in an email) , but it took 4 months to
work through the process from "request to license".

So...if I was to try to put together a shopping list together with as many
plugin components in as few different products as possible, what should that
be?

Thanks

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. Multiple delivery
isn't a requirement here.

Thanks anyway.

I would give serious thought to Acrolinx, if you're facing consistency
issue as your content scales up and if you're going to bring in multiple
writers. It can also help other casual content authors (e.g., developer's
and tester's design and use case docs; marcomm) or give you a fast-editing
path to clean up such source prior to importation/reuse in FrameMaker. It's
NOT cheap, and it take a significant setup and routine maintenance as your
product lines evolve... but it's a joy to see working well! It basically
can eliminate any 'copyediting' roles throughout your organization.

And, no, I am not affiliatedf with them, other than as a fanboy who wants
MY compnay to adopt it! :)

RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

[Reng, Dr. Winfried]

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.

Best regards

Winfried

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, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large document
set...10 books of 2,000 pages each give or take.

Because of the amount of time I spend on housekeeping, I'm ready to take a
stab at adding plugins that will save me time. In addition, I may be
bringing in a team of 3-4 writers and I want the files to be as clean as
possible. When you evolve to 20,000 pages of document from an initial 195
pages in 2 years, ya get careless at times.

Now...I'm in a very locked down environment, so I know I'm in for a
battle...this very well can be a 3-6 month project and I may loose.

Money is no object. I was able to easily justify a $500 application just to
check broken links (3 bullet points in an email) , but it took 4 months to
work through the process from "request to license".

So...if I was to try to put together a shopping list together with as many
plugin components in as few different products as possible, what should that
be?

Here is the link to the webinar I mentioned earlier. It is not too late to
submit scripting ideas for it.

April 29: "FrameMaker Automation Ideas with Examples"

Special Guest Rick Quatro returns for a 3rd session on Extendscripts for
FrameMaker. In this session, Rick will share several of his favorite
time-saving solutions. Scripts will be available to those who register or
attend.

RE: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

[Rick Quatro]

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.

 

Rick

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.

Subject: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?


Hi, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large document
set...10 books of 2,000 pages each give or take.

Because of the amount of time I spend on housekeeping, I'm ready to take a
stab at adding plugins that will save me time. In addition, I may be
bringing in a team of 3-4 writers and I want the files to be as clean as
possible. When you evolve to 20,000 pages of document from an initial 195
pages in 2 years, ya get careless at times.

Now...I'm in a very locked down environment, so I know I'm in for a
battle...this very well can be a 3-6 month project and I may loose.

Money is no object. I was able to easily justify a $500 application just to
check broken links (3 bullet points in an email) , but it took 4 months to
work through the process from "request to license".

So...if I was to try to put together a shopping list together with as many
plugin components in as few different products as possible, what should that
be?

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

Re: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

[john . x . posada]

Thanks, John, but this is a one-shot deal.

First, I'd never get a scripting product in here. The applications have to
have specific functions they can test before installing.

Second, if I was to use someone like Rick, it would be a 4 month process
for each one I tried to get.

I cannot install anything. It has to be done by the right department.

I'd look into FrameScript. There are many useful free scripts available,
and you can write your own or contract someone to write them for you.  I
highly recommend Rick Quatro, whose wizardry has dramatically expanded what
I can do with unstructured FrameMaker 12.

Two examples of easy, effective cleanup:
* ArchiveFM.fso does pretty much what the late Bruce Foster's Archive
plugin did - it takes all the files, images, and text insets in a book,
even those referenced from distant folders, and puts them in a ZIP archive.
In seconds you can blow away all those extra images that aren't used in a
book.
* TidyImport.fso enable you to clean up a doc with too many extra para and
character tags by doing a CleanImport from a known good clean template or
chapter. Not just those, but Para, Char, Table, Variable, x-ref,
conditions, color defs, math defs, doc properties, object styles, reference
pages and page layouts.

FrameScript is $179 for a single license. See https://framescript.com/

Re: What FM plugin suite give the most bang?

[john . x . posada]

Maybe graphics resizing, repositioning, object and anchor settings...

Pretty much think of if you were a one-man shop maintaining 20,000 pages
and growing, what would you add that FM forgot?

Hi, guys...I'm using FM11 unstructured and I maintain quite a large
document set...10 books of 2,000 pages each give or take.

Because of the amount of time I spend on housekeeping, I'm ready to take a
stab at adding plugins that will save me time. In addition, I may be
bringing in a team of 3-4 writers and I want the files to be as clean as
possible. When you evolve to 20,000 pages of document from an initial 195
pages in 2 years, ya get careless at times.

Now...I'm in a very locked down environment, so I know I'm in for a
battle...this very well can be a 3-6 month project and I may loose.

Money is no object. I was able to easily justify a $500 application just to
check broken links (3 bullet points in an email) , but it took 4 months to
work through the process from "request to license".

So...if I was to try to put together a shopping list together with as many
plugin components in as few different products as possible, what should
that be?

Thanks
