Subject:Frame-to-PDF automation on Windows From:Janet_Swisher -at- trilogy -dot- com To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com Date:Thu, 16 Sep 1999 14:38:34 -0500
We would like to start generating PDF files automatically from FrameMaker
files as part of our software build process. I know that the fmbatch
utility facilitates this sort of thing, but is only available for Unix.
Any suggestions for ways to do this on Windows (NT, if it matters)? Or
should we shell out for a Unix FrameMaker license just for the build
process? (All the writers use Windows.)
