I'm interested in more info on this very old post. Is Thomas Michanek on this
list or does somebody have an updated URL?

This isn't valid anymore:

OK, it is part of the Lib/DocUtils.fsl.

The function "ForAllDocsInBook" is explained in the UsersGuide.pdf at page 69.

Dr. Gonzo,

There is an example script that ships with the plug-in, showing you exactly how
to apply a script to all components of a book.

I'm not clear on how to write a script that walks through all the files in a
book. I don't want to specify file names using Open Document.

If I open all the files in the book before I run the script, what command opens
the next available file?

Hi Rob,

If vObjList[idx].TextType='MarkerAnchor'
   // Get the marker object.
   Set oMarker = vObjList[idx].TextData;
   // Write the marker's text to the Console.
   Write Console oMarker.MarkerText;
   // Write the marker's type to the Console.
   Write Console oMarker.MarkerTypeId.Name;
EndIf

Hi all,

i have a task pending in my hand that has to check all the Tables in the in the
FM Document, whether it exceeds the page Margin, or not.

I have to get the Table left Margin, and Table Right Margin, and i have to check
whether it exceeds with the Page Left Margin and Page Right Margin.

I have got the left and right margin or the Document, by the code,

activedoc.leftmargin
activedoc.rightmargin

How do i get Table start and end point any ideas..

You can save a book file as a PDF using the "SaveFmtPdf" filetype.

Save Book BookObject(oTempBook)
   File(vPDFBookName)
   FileType(SaveFmtPdf);

Below are are some PDF settings you can make.Look at the FrameScript
documentation for details.

I use the fc code to exercise change tracking commands. You can get the
fc codes with the MenuList sample script.

Hi guys,

Can someone help me, please. I am not that familiar with FrameScript.
My Tcl code runs FrameScript and expects it to generate a single PDF file.

I took the SaveBookAsPdf script to generate a single PDF file, thinking that it
does so but now see that it generates separate PDF files for FrameMaker files in
the book.

Is there a way to get a single PDF file?

Please advise.
Thanks,
Hrachya

that automates the creation and generation of a generated list (TOC, Index) on
opening a book XML file. In the XML the needed book elements (TOC, Index etc)
are available as empty elements.

Hi Wim,

I have done that using the new structured features of FrameScript 5.x. Basically
using XSL preprocessing I add the Processing Instructions to make sure that
files are created for each generated file. I also assume that the template
already has the necessary definitions on the Reference Pages. Then, during the
opening process of the XML file, I wait until the book is complete and then
traverse the book components to set the properties of the generated files
accordingly. Updating the book is the last step... However, the solution is very
much tied to the customer’s structure. But it is possible and users quickly feel
like »Why did we ever had to set up TOCs manually?«

Hello Klaus,

thanks, that worked except for <Absatzstandardschrift> I had to use <Default

Stupid localization!

Hello Werner,

> in the text only "Abschnitt <$AbsNum" appears

This is caused by the localized German building block.
Instead of <$AbsNum>, use the internal <$paranum>.

   $AbsNum -> $paranum
   $AbsNumExkl -> $paranumonly
   $AbsText -> $paratext
   $AbsTyp -> $paratag
   $Attribut -> $attribute
   $ChapNum -> $chapnum
   $Dateiname -> $filename
   $DateinameLang -> $fullfilename
   $ElemAbsNum -> $elemparanum
   $ElemAbsNumExkl -> $elemparanumonly
   $ElemSeiteNum -> $elempagenum
   $ElemTag -> $elemtag
   $ElemText -> $elemtext
   $ElemTextExkl -> $elemtextonly
   $SectionNum -> $sectionnum
   $SeiteNum -> $pagenum
   $SubSectionNum -> $subsectionnum
   $VolNum -> $volnum
   Absatzstandardschrift -> /

Is there any way to set a PDF's Page Layout properties (In Acrobat, File ->
Properties -> Initial View -> Page Layout) to "Single Page" instead of
"Continuous?"  I can't seem to even find the option outside of Acrobat (even in
Distiller).

Hi all!
I am trying to create or modify an XRefFormat with

set vNewXRefAbschnNr = 'Abschnitt\ <$AbsNum>';
...
GET Object Type(XRefFmt) DocObject(vCurrentDoc) Name('AbschnNr')
NewVar(vXRefAbschnNr);
    if vXRefAbschnNr = 0
       New XRefFormat Name('AbschnNr') DocObject(vCurrentDoc)
NewVar(vXRefAbschnNr);
    endif
set vXRefAbschnNr.fmt = vNewXRefAbschnNr;

In principle everything works fine, it even looks in Frame in the CrossRef
window as specified. However, in the text only "Abschnitt <$AbsNum" appears. If
I confirm the entry in the CrossRef window and update all cross-references, the
text changes to "Abschnitt 3.1" as it should be. So it seems, the closing angled
bracket is not transferred properly, although it is displayed in the CrossRef
window. Anyone had this problem or knows a workaround?
I use FM 9.0.3 and ElmScript 5.2 P231

Thanks
Werner

I've never used anything but stringlists, but I want to store all selected files
in all open books.

Lets say I have a ecollection built like below. I want to search it to see if
"File22" exists in "Book2". How do I do that?? My little findmember statement
below creates an error.


New ECollection NewVar(vFileStructure);
Set vFileStructure['Book1'] = 'File11', 'File12', 'File13';
Set vFileStructure['Book2'] = 'File21', 'File22';
Set vFileStructure['Book3'] = 'File31', 'File32', 'File33', 'File34';

// Searching for members
Set gvMember = vFileStructure['Book2'].FindMember{'File22'};
display '!! '+gvMember.value;

Hi Benjie,

I don't get the crash when I isolate the eStr.Compare function:

Set vIsGreater = eStr.Compare{'0', 'A', 'NoCase'};
Display vIsGreater;

I would check it this way, because there may be something else in your
script causing the crash. Otherwise, you may need to upgrade to the latest
version of FrameScript, which is 5.2R1p228.

Can you give an example of some code that causes the crash? Also, what
version of FrameScript are you using? Thanks.

ok, smart FrameScripters...

I'm working on a multi-book printing script. The script is supposed to print any open books in the session.

I have a modeless dialog box pop up asking the user to select what files to print in each of the open books, and when they're done, click and ebutton called "START". Manually, you can select files in mutiple books and it keeps the selections.

FrameScript loses the selections though. For the most simple test, I tried:
Set activebook = session.firstopenbook;
Set activebook = activebook.NextOpenBookInSession;

Both books lose the selections.

Any idea how to keep the selections or detect which files are selected (so I can load them in a stringlist or something)? Maybe a F-code...
