Output file name automation

2008-03-18 Thread William Abernathy
I figure this is unlikely, but does anyone have a method for automating file 
name generation from within FrameMaker?

For example:

Let's say I have a document that has a Paying Customer version and a Sneak 
Preview version, with certain key information deleted for the benefit of 
tire-kickers. Let's also stipulate that I'm using PDFMark, FrameMaker 
variables, 
and conditional text to control the Document properties. Hence, by turning on 
the Sneak Preview condition and toggling off the Paying Customer condition, 
the document properties in the PDFMark code, thus the finished PDF, are 
automatically manipulated.

Is there any way to force FrameMaker to output by default to 
title_preview_version number.ps or title_preview_version 
number.pdf? 
Or is this simply impossible? I see no handles for manipulating file names, but 
someone here might know better...

Thanks,

--William
