Re: [framescript-users] Metadata, FileInfoPacket, PDFDocInfo... what fun!

Brandon,

Where is your script code example, stripped down to the absolute minimum? What
versions of FrameMaker, FrameScript and Acrobat are you using?

Without this we can only guess.

an issue of keeping track of who worked on what files on our network system. It
seems to be common practice for whoever lasts saves a file to automatically be
deemed the "owner" of the file. I've amended part of a script (with others to
soon follow suit) for any new file generated by script to automatically fill out
the PDFDocInfo, which appears to pass the same info on to the FileInfoPacket.
This appears to be successful.

field to the window, it's blank. Same with anything else I added. This is true
of both the FM file, and the PDF generated from it. (The PDF retains the data
internally, though, as I can see it in the PDF file properties within acrobat.)
I get the same result if I right-click the file and look at it's properties,
there's nothing for the data I entered via script.
