i am trying to build a script to convert Framemaker 5.5 files to ID CS.
The big problem is of course the Embedded graphics, and getting them
out at full resolution. I am getting a full list of character and
paragraph styles am comparing them for used or not. Mostly what comes
in the sample scripts with modifications.
I have searched high and wide on the net and found nothing on
FrameMaker AS.
Now I have some budget if needed to test this. but I can get the files
manually into Illustrator if I do a standard select, copy and paste,
and they are editable. However I can NOT figure out how to select them
or get properties of a item, can get them for a document or a page
tell application "FrameMaker 7.0"
tell document 1
tell body page 1
set myprops to get properties of selected object
end tell
end tell
end tell
Now want a list of graphic objects in the page, so I can go through
them and get the name of the file, do a copy and paste then save in
Ill format.
I can save the files as RTF but those files do not have full
resolution or convert vector based to pixel in the import process. Now
other options include: open MIF files in BBedit (but not sure if that
is where I want to go), but I can detect the EPSF header as a string,
then save that as new file?
Does anyone have any samples or hints?
Thanks in Advance....
