Re: batch generation of pdf files

[Jay Smith <jay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Linda,

What first comes to mind is using FrameScript to print whatever files you need
(for example, all the FM files in a directory) to PS files.  If you have
Distiller set up to use Watched Folders, the PS files will automatically
Distiller themselves into PS.

I have not used FrameScript to do printing, so I do not know any details of
controlling the print dialog.  You might have to make sure that your system's
default printer is temporarily set to the Distiller driver. (You did not say
what platform you are on; I am speaking of FM 5.5.x on Win95/98 -- and I guess
now on Mac).
