ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Overview

Scripting support in FrameMaker

FrameMaker supports ExtendScript, which is an extended implementation of JavaScript. While JavaScript files have .js extension, ExtendScript files have .jsx extension.

For more information on JavaScript modules, tools, utilities, and features that are available to all JavaScript-enabled Adobe applications, see

Development and debugging tools in ExtendScript toolkit

For assistance in developing, debugging, and testing scripts, Adobe provides the ExtendScript Toolkit. ExtendScript Toolkit is an interactive development and testing environment for ExtendScript, which is installed with FrameMaker and all JavaScript-enabled applications. For details, see Chapter 2, “The ExtendScript Toolkit” and Chapter 8, “ExtendScript Tools and Features ” in

ExtendScript capabilities

Using ExtendScript Toolkit, you can develop and debug ExtendScript. ExtendScript provides the following features that make scripting easy:

• User interface development tools: The ScriptUI module defines Window objects that represent platform-specific

windows and various control elements, such as buttons and static text. Resource specification allows you to create user-interface elements. Using the event-handling callback functions, you can define the behavior of your userinteraction controls. ScriptUI provides a rich set of containers (such as Group, Panel, and TabbedPanel) and user interface controls (such as Button, Image, Scrollbar, Treeview, and FlashPlayer). ScriptUI works with the ExtendScript JavaScript interpreter to provide JavaScript programs with the ability to create and interact with user interface elements. The Graphic customization objects provide the ability to customize the appearance of userinterface controls before they are drawn. For details, see Chapter 4, “User-Inter face Tools” in

JavaScript Tools Guide.

• Extensions:

• ExtendScript offers tools for communicating with other computers or the Internet using standard protocols. The

Socket object supports low-level TCP connections. For details, see Chapter 6, “External Communication Tools”

JavaScript Tools Guide.

• Adobe ExtendScript defines classes that simplify cross-platform file-system access. These classes are available to

all applications that support a JavaScript interface. For details, see Chapter 3, “File System Access” in

Tools Guid e .

JavaScript

• You can extend the JavaScript DOM for an application. To extend the JavaScript DOM, write a C or C++ shared

library, compile it for the relevant platform, and load it into JavaScript as an ExternalObject instance. A shared library is implemented by a DLL in Windows, a bundle or framework in Mac OS, or a SharedObject in UNIX. For details, see Chapter 7, “Integrating External Libraries” in

JavaScript Tools Guide.

• Inter-application communication and messaging: ExtendScript provides a common scripting environment for all

Adobe JavaScript-enabled applications. The cross-DOM API allows implementation of functions, such as open files and execute scripts, that are common across message-enabled applications. Using simple syntax you can implement application-specific functionality for message-enabled application. The BridgeTalk class of the messaging API has globally available static properties and functions that provide access to environmental information relevant for communication between applications. The error codes defined by the interapplication messaging protocol are compatible with the ExtendScript error codes. For details, see Chapter 5, “Interapplication Communication with Scripts” in

JavaScript Tools Guide

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Overview

Creating Scripts

Adobe provides ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) with its applications as a scripting utility. ESTK has many features that ma ke it e asi er t o us e than a text e dit or. ESTK h as a bui lt-in syntax checker that identifies where the problems are in your script and tries to explain how to fix them. You can run your scripts right from the ESTK without saving the file. Running scripts without saving them first saves you time, especially when you are learning to work with ESTK.

Accessing ESTK

Connect ESTK to FrameMaker

When you launch ExtendScript Toolkit from FrameMaker (File > Script ...), ExtendScript Toolkit is already connected to FrameMaker. Only when you launch ExtendScript Toolkit from Windows (Start > Programs...), complete the following steps to connect ESTK to FrameMaker.

1 In the ExtendScript Toolkit, select Adobe FrameMaker <Version#> in the pop-up menu.

2 Click .

If FrameMaker is not already running, a message appears: “Target Adobe FrameMaker <Version#> is not running. Do you want to launch Adobe FrameMaker <Version#>?”

3 Click Ye s .

FrameMaker is launched and connected to ESTK.

To write, edit, and run scripts

In FrameMaker, do the following:

1 Click File > Script > New Script.

The ESTK editor opens.

2 Write the script in the editor.

3 To run the script, click the Play button.

You can also start ExtendScript Toolkit from Windows (Start > Programs). When you start ExtendScript Toolkit from Windows, connect ESTK to FrameMaker.

In the Object Model Viewer, select an object model under Browse to you can do the following to locate information:

• Under Browser, select the object model for which you want the information. Object Model Viewer displays the

classes in the object model and details such as type, properties, method, and description of the class.

• Search for a class, method, or property.

• Bookmark a class, method, or property. It then appears under the Bookmarks section.

ExtendScript use cases

Some of the ExtendScript use cases can be:

• Scripts to automate repetitive tasks: You can write utilities to automate repetitive tasks, such as change alignment

of all the tables in a FrameMaker document.

• Notification-based scripts: You can write scripts that are triggered on FrameMaker events such as such as opening,

printing, or saving a document.

• Menu command scripts/scripts to extend FrameMaker functionality: Using these scripts, you can add menus and

commands in FrameMaker.

• Startup scripts: These scripts get executed when FrameMaker starts. You can set up scripts to run at startup by

Chapter 3: Sample ESTK scripts

ExtendScript is similar to JavaScript. You can easily develop ExtendScript for any of the applications in FrameMaker if you are familiar with JavaScript.

Following are examples for scripts that automate specific activities in FrameMaker.

Note: Sample scripts shipped with FrameMaker are at the following location: <FMINSTALL_DIR>\samples

Adding text to a document and enabling change bars

The following script adds a sample text to a FrameMaker document and then enables the change bar. Open a FrameMaker document before running the script.

Copy and paste the script to ESTK and select FrameMaker <Version#> as the target application. Click the Play button to run the script.

var doc = app.ActiveDoc; var firstPgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; var tl = new TextLoc(firstPgf, 0); doc.AddText (tl, "Hello"); doc.AutoChangeBars = 1;

The script creates a text location using the location. Using the

AddText()

method, add a sample text. Set the

new TextLoc()

method. Assign the first page of the document as the text

AutoChangeBars

property to 1 to enable the change bar.

Changing the table properties in a document

The following script changes the left indentation of all the tables in a FrameMaker body page by 1 inch. It also changes the width of the columns to 2 inches. Open a FrameMaker document that has tables with two columns before running the script.

var doc = app.ActiveDoc; var flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc; var tbl = 0; var textItems = flow.GetText(Constants.FTI_TblAnchor); for (var i = 0; i < textItems.len; i += 1) { tbl = textItems[i].obj;

tbl.TblLeftIndent = (2*72 * 65536); var tblColWidths = new Metrics (2 * 72 * 65536, 2 * 72 * 65536); tbl.TblColWidths = tblColWidths;

}

The script creates the document’s main flow using the MainFlowInDoc method. Use the GetText(FTI_TblAnchor) method to list all tables in the main flow. Using a for loop, for each table, use the the left indentation.

TblLeftIndent()method to change

Last updated 4/8/2014

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Sample ESTK scripts

Use the TblColWidths() method to change the width of the column. This method accepts the argument in a metric form. So, create the arguments as a metric object using the

new Metrics()method.

Note: By convention, there are 72 points per inch. Multiply the inch value with 65536 to get the correct value. 1 inch is equal to 1 * 72 * 65536 points.

Chapter 4: Differences between scripts and FDK

If you are familiar with the FDK (FrameMaker Developer Kit) object model, this chapter will help you get quickly get familiarized with ESTK. Adobe FrameMaker scripts are modeled closely on the FrameMaker FDK. These scripts act as wrappers to the FDK and hide the complexity of using FDK functions from users.

This chapter documents the differences between using scripts and using FDK.

Naming differences between scripts and FDK

FDK Scripts

Every FDK object is identified by an object ID. Every script entity is identified as an object.

Every property in FDK starts with FP_.

For example, FP_CharTag.

Properties are used directly, in scripts. Remove the FP_ prefix before using the properties in scripts.

For example, FP_CharTag in FDK becomes just CharTag in scripts.

Every property has its own data type. The properties can either be read-only or readwrite.

Note: All FDK properties can be used in FrameMaker scripts.

Every API in FDK starts with F_APImethodname. Methods are used directly in scripts. Remove the F_API prefix before using the methods

Every object in FDK starts with FO_.

For example, FO_Doc.

in scripts.

For example, F_ApiSplitElement becomes just SplitElement in scripts.

Use objects directly in scripts. Remove the FO_ prefix before using the objects in scripts.

For example, FO_Doc in FDK becomes just Doc in scripts.

Note: FDK object FO_Session is mapped to app and not to Session. This

app script object is readily available for all FrameMaker scripts to use.

Every structure in FDK starts with F_ and ends with a T.

For example, F_AttributeT.

FDK uses data types such as StrngT for strings and

IntT, UintT for numbers.

Structures are used directly in scripts. Remove the F_ prefix and the ending ‘T ’ before using the structures in scripts.

For example, F_AttributeT in FDK becomes just Attribute in scripts.

Some FDK structures contain other FDK structures within themselves. In a script, the structures within a structure are treated as an object data type.

See the F_TextRangeT structure in Example 3 below.

Scripts map the FDK data types as follows:

StringT is mapped to Javascript String.

IntT and UinT are mapped to Javascript Number.

ObjHandleT is mapped to Javascript Object.

The following examples clearly highlight the differences between scripts and the FDK.

Example 1:

Last updated 4/8/2014

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Differences between scripts and FDK

The app property is readily available to all FrameMaker scripts and maps to the FO_Session object in FDK.

In this example, you query the ActiveDoc property that returns the Active Document Object(Doc) in the current FrameMaker Session. The reference to this object is stored in the variable

doc = app.ActiveDoc; flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc; sync = flow.FlowIsSynchronized;

doc.

Explanation:

• Line 1 stores the reference to the Active Document Object.

• Line 2 creates an object called flow by querying a property of the doc object.

• Line 3 queries a property of the newly created flow object (created in line 2).

You can query each of the object references as a new object recursively, until you reach the desired object property:

sync = app.ActiveDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FlowIsSynchronized;

The same example in FDK is as follows:

F_ObjHandleT docId, flowId; IntT sync; docId = F_ApiGetId(0, FV_SessionId, FP_ActiveDoc); flowId = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_MainFlowInDoc); sync = F_ApiGetInt(docId, flowId, FP_ FlowIsSynchronized);

As discussed in the table above, Example 1 demonstrates how FDK properties [FP_ActiveDoc, FP_MainFlowInDoc

FP_FlowIsSynchronized] are mapped to script properties [ActiveDoc, MainFlowInDoc and

and

FlowIsSynchronized].

Example 2:

Example 2 builds on Example 1 and shows how methods are called in scripts.

Every object has some methods of its own. These methods can be invoked in the same way as properties are invoked.

In Example 1, you created the doc object. To invoke a method, use doc.methodname(). For example,

doc.UpdateVariables();

This code calls the UpdateVariables method of the doc object.

FDK users can relate these methods to FDK APIs. The same code in FDK becomes:

F_ApiUpdateVariables(FV_SessionId, docId);

Notice how the FDK API F_ApiUpdateVariables becomes the method name UpdateVariables in scripts, as mentioned in the table above.

Global Methods:

Not every method is accessible through a specific object. There are some methods that are not called through any objects but are called directly. These methods are called Global Methods. Examples of Global Methods include

ChooseFile(), CallClent() and Sleep().

In addition to these methods, all FDK Variables and Macros are available as Global Methods. These Variables usually start with

FV_ in FDK.

Consider the following line of code for FDK:

F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Capitalization, FV_CAPITAL_CASE_SMALL);

Last updated 4/8/2014

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Differences between scripts and FDK

The same code can be written in scripts as follows:

doc.Capitalization = FV_CAPITAL_CASE_SMALL;

However, there is a separate class called Constants that can be used to access these Global Methods. The script code can also be written as:

doc.Capitalization = Constants.FV_CAPITAL_CASE_SMALL;

Example 3:

Every FDK Structure such as F_TextItemT, and F_TextLocT are also mapped to objects in scripts. All the fields of these structures are mapped to the read or write properties of these objects.

For example, structure F_PointT:

typedef struct { MetricT x,y; /* The coordinate pair */ } F_PointT;

is mapped to the Point object in scripting. The Point object has two properties x and y.

See another FDK structure called F_TextRangeT:

typedef struct { F_TextLocT beg; /* The beginning of the range */ F_TextLocT end; /* The end of the range */ } F_TextRangeT;

This structure is mapped to the TextRange object with both the properties beg and end being of type TextLoc.

Notice that F_TextLocT itself is another structure.

Note: Structure objects do not have any methods associated with them.

The following example script fetches an Active Document and adds some text in the first paragraph of the first flow of this document.

doc = app.ActiveDoc; flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc; textFrame = flow.FirstTextFrameInFlow; pgf = textFrame.FirstPgf; textLoc = new TextLoc(); textLoc.obj = pgf; textLoc.offset = 0; doc.AddText(textLoc, 'Sample Text');

Notice how the F_TextLocT FDK structure maps to the TextLoc object in scripts.

Lines 1, 2, 3, 4 can be combined and written as:

pgf = app.ActicveDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;

Lines 6, 7, 8 can be combined and written by passing parameters in the constructor of the TextLoc object as:

textLoc = new TextLoc(pgf, 0);

Scripts have advanced features such as notifications and commands.

Last updated 4/8/2014

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Differences between scripts and FDK

Notifications

Notifications is the internal mechanism through which a script registered for a particular event is run when the event is triggered.

As an example, consider the following script:

Sample script to demonstrate how to use notification mechanism of FrameMaker though ExtendScript */ /* There are basically two parts to a notification script.

1. Registering for a desired notification. (This is done by calling 'Notification()' with

desired notifications as argument.)

2. Implement a handler for these notifications in your script. ( Implement 'Notify()' in script) */ /* Part 1. Registering for Notifications

Notification()' is a global function and is available readily in scripting. (Similar to

F_ApiNotification())

The Syntax for Notification() is: Notification(int, int,.....,int, bool);

it takes:

a.) list of notifications(FA_Note_PreOpenDoc, FA_Note_PostOpenDoc etc.) and b.) param bool: true = register for provided notification list, false = unregister for provided

notification list.

(This parameter is optional and by default 'true') Note: for more details please see F_ApiNotification() in FDK reference guide.

Notification(FA_Note_PreOpenDoc,true); This is same as Notification(FA_Note_PreSaveDoc) or you can register for more than one notification at once Notification(FA_Note_PostOpenDoc,FA_Note_PreSaveDoc); Here we register for the notification: FA_Note_PostOpenDoc - this notification is triggered just after a document is opened. Notification(FA_Note_PostOpenDoc,true);

/* Part 2: handler

This can be done by implementing function 'Notify()' that are called by FrameMaker when any

desired even occurs.(Similar to F_ApiNotify()) Syntax for this callback function is: @params

of the affected file. If the notification is for text entry, sparm specifies the text the user typed.)

*/ function Notify(note, object, sparam, iparam) { switch (note) {

}

note: notification id to identify the event. object: current document or book object which generated the event. sparam: The string, if any, associated with the notification (For example, if the notification is for an Open or Save operation, sparm specifies the pathname

iparam: The Integer, if any, associated with the notification. Probably the fcode or bit flags. Notify(note, doc, sparam, iparam) Note: for more details please see F_ApiNotify() in FDK reference guide.

case FA_Note_PostOpenDoc: alert("Opened document " + sparam); break;

The line of code:

Notification(FA_Note_PostOpenDoc,true);

registers this script for the FA_Note_PostOpenDoc notification. This notification is triggered just after any document is opened in FrameMaker.

The lines of code:

function Notify(note, object, sparam, iparam) { switch (note) { case FA_Note_PostOpenDoc: alert("Opened document " + sparam); break; }

pops up an alert with the file name just after the file is opened.

Menus and Commands

Scripting allows you to add custom menus and associate commands with these menus. In addition, you can implement your own handlers for commands in a similar way as the FDK.

The following script adds two menus and associated commands to the FrameMaker main menu.

Last updated 4/8/2014

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Differences between scripts and FDK

In this script, we add two menu items to FrameMaker Session and associate two different commands to these menu items */ // Main menu bar /* First we get the object associated with Main menubar in FrameMaker*/ mMenu = app.GetNamedMenu("!MakerMainMenu") ; // F_ApiGetNamedMenu(FV_SessionId, FO_Menu, (ConStringT)"!MakerMainMenu") /* Defining new menu items DefineAndAddMenu(name, label) FDK equivalent : F_ApiDefineAndAddMenu(F_ObjHandleT toMenuId, StringT name, StringT label) */ nMenu1 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu1", "Menu1"); nMenu2 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu2", "Menu2"); // Adding command to menus /* DefineAndAddCommand(cmdID, name, label, shortcut) FDK equivalent: F_ApiDefineAndAddCommand(IntT cmdID, F_ObjHandleT toMenuId, StringT name, StringT label, StringT shortcut) cmdID is a integer that will be passed to Command() function defined in your script. It should be unique to the script. */ nMenu1.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"cmd1","command1",""); nMenu2.DefineAndAddCommand(2,"cmd2","command2",""); // Another way for creating a command and adding it to menu items. //cmd3 = DefineCommand(3, "cmd3", "cmd3", ""); // FDK equivalent : F_ApiDefineCommand(IntT cmdID, StringT name, StringT label, StringT shortcut) // add the command to different menu items //nMenu1.AddCommandToMenu(cmd3); // FDK equivalent : ApiAddCommandToMenu(F_ObjHandleT toMenuId, F_ObjHandleT commandId) //nMenu2.AddCommandToMenu(cmd3); // must call if script has been run through ESTK, redundant otherwise. UpdateMenus(); // Call back equivalent to F_ApiCommand(command) function Command(cmd){

switch(cmd) {

case 1:

case 2:

} }

alert("Command1 executed"); break;

alert("Command2 executed"); break;

Let us examine the script in detail:

1 The line: mMenu = app.GetNamedMenu("!MakerMainMenu") ; fetches the name of the FrameMaker main menu

and stores it in the variable mMenu.

2 The lines:

nMenu1 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu1", "Menu1"); nMenu2 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu2", "Menu2");

add two new menu entries Menu1 and Menu2, under the main menu. The name of the main menu is already stored in step 1.

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE

Differences between scripts and FDK

3 The commands:

nMenu1.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"cmd1","command1",""); nMenu2.DefineAndAddCommand(2,"cmd2","command2","");

add two new menu entries called Command 1 and Command 2 under the menu entries Menu1 and Menu2, that were defined in step 2.

4 Finally, the block of code:

function Command(cmd) {

case 1: alert("Command 1 executed");

break;

case 2: alert("command 2 executed");

break;

}

assigns the relevant commands to the menu entries defined in step 3.

The number after the keyword case is the menu ID. Look at the command in step 3:

nMenu1.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"cmd1","command1","");

The first value within the parenthesis is the menuID. This value is passed to the case statement.

The system pops up the relevant alert when the corresponding menu entry is clicked.

HelpLink string The hypertext link to call when the user requests context-

sensitive help for the command.

If you set the HelpLink property, specify the destination file and an optional page number or linkname. For example, specify foo.doc:lastpage. Do not specify hypertext commands such as gotopage.

FrameMaker automatically prefixes the appropriate hypertext command to the HelpLink string when the user requests context-sensitive help.

If the destination file is not in the client directory, FrameMaker looks for the file in the FrameMaker product help directory.

Note: The HelpLink property is valid only for commands created by clients, and is not valid for commands created directly by FrameMaker.

KeyboardShortcutLabel string The keyboard shortcut string that appears on the menu.

This string need not be one of the actual shortcuts specified by the KeyboardShortcuts property.

KeyboardShortcuts Strings The list of keyboard shortcuts that the user can press to

execute the command. To add a shortcut, append it to the list.

Note: ESTK does not allow you to delete shortcuts from the list.

Labels Strings If the command is a menu item, the Labels property

depicts the list of labels the menu item can have in different contexts. If the menu item has only one label in all contexts, Labels specifies only the string for that specific label.

If the menu item has different labels in different contex ts, Labels specifies pairs of strings with the following format:

Context,Label

where Label specifies the menu item label

and Context specifies the context in which the label appears on the menu.
