we have got below steps from one of adobe person :
Steps. can you please explaine clearly The above steps and how can we generate PDF for a FM file without manual intervention . the actual requirement is :
1) Goto installed location of FM and launch framemaker with specified process id.
eg : $Installdir\FrameMaker.exe /progid:MyProcess
2) Build the asynchronous client exe\dll with the help from attached sample client.
3) Goto the location where client exe is copied and then run with specified FM process id.
eg : asynch_script.exe MyProcess
To resolve few dependencies, you can also copy the client exe to installed location of FM. So the above step in that case would be
$Installdir\ asynch_script.exe MyProcess
Hi All , We are going for upgrade of Frame maker 8 which is on unix system to FM 10 or 11. We are using Framemaker mainly for renditions, i.e to convert the fm documents to PDF. To convert fm document to PDF we are using the below mentioned command line utility available in FM 8.(on unix). /opt/app/frame8.0/bin/fmprint -i -p Sample.fm.fmtpl Sample.fm Currently the the fm file which need to converted to PDF and the FM 8(installed) are available on the same unix system ,so we were able to initiate/use the command line utility of FM 8. The rendition of the FM to PDF is On -Demand.( We are not running any batch activities/ bulk renditions).We are rendering the document as soon as the document is available. As we upgrade the FM to newer versions which would be installed on the Windows machine as Frame maker 10 or 11 will not support unix plat form, so can you please let us know which option is better to use i.e we want to convert fm file to PDF using java program without any manual intevention . we came to know that about FDK and extend scripts but we are very new to those !! could you please any one can provide us ways and provide us sample codes/scripts to convert FM file to PDF !! and please let us know which one is better client / server version to do this .
please heklp us as it is very important
