FrameMaker ExtendScript

ExtendScript is a development and execution environment that runs on Adobe-specific extensions to JavaScript. Adobe introduced this scripting environment and language to its early Creative Suite versions and added it to FrameMaker in version 10. Now that almost all the objects, properties, and methods are available in the ExtendScript Toolkit it is a lot easier to automate routine tasks.

Here's what you'll learn to do:

• Use the FrameMaker object model and its reference materials.
• Automate your tasks with the ExtendScript Toolkit.
• Create, run, and debug scripts.
• Build dialogs with the ScriptUI library.
• Manage XML objects with your scripts.
• Design and activate event handlers.
• Integrate your scripts with FrameMaker.
• Package and distribute your scripts.

Scripting can dramatically reduce the time required to perform routine tasks.
