The most recent versions of Frame/Acrobat supposedly allow you to embed a Flash
animation in a PDF, though this might be specific to Adobe's upcoming

This won't help you because you're running Windows, but EasyFind by

Yes, but it comes with the top of the line version of Adobe Acrobat, so
that's a consideration.

Hi Dan,
One thing to consider: it may be better to do your string replacements in
FrameMaker without going to MIF and back. Since you are using FrameScript,
you may be able to do these replacements in the binary file (depending on
what exactly you are doing).

You don't need to run the archive plug-in on each book. What you can do
is generate an LOR (List of References) file. Showing text insets is
one of the options you can select when you create that file. You're
still going to have to touch multiple files and/or books, no matter what
you do.
