Chapter 2: Introduction
FrameMaker Publishing Server
Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server is a server-based, automated multi-channel and multi-device publishing
solution. FrameMaker Publishing Server enables publication departments centralize and automate multichannel
publication tasks from Adobe FrameMaker documents. With FrameMaker Publishing Server, you can create multiple
output formats, each with its own customFrameMaker Publishing Server settings. These output formats include
Adobe PDF, WebHelp, Adobe AIR-based Help, Native Mobile App, and ePub for device-independent content
delivery.
With centralized and automated publications, it is easy to integrate and synchronize publication of technical
documents with product build schedules. FrameMaker Publishing Server integrates with EMC Documentum and
Microsoft SharePoint that enables you to manage publication tasks and enforce version control.
With ExtendScript Toolkit integrated with FrameMaker Publishing Server, you can create custom publication tasks
that work with source files in XML and FrameMaker formats. By creating reusable publication task settings, you can
quickly set up custom publication environments and schedule the build processes to run daily, weekly, or at any
defined intervals.
4
Accessing the FrameMaker Publishing Server
Typically, you access FrameMaker Publishing Server by logging in to the server that hosts it. FrameMaker Publishing
Server is configured to automatically start when you log in to the host.
FrameMaker Publishing Server interface
FrameMaker Publishing Server provides a simple user interface that enables you to create publication tasks and
schedule them.

Chapter 3: Creating and managing publication tasks
Tasks
You define the publication tasks in Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server and schedule them to run at the required
interval. A task is a complete collection of all the build information that is required to run a publication task.
Typically, you define a task for each book or source document that you want to create outputs from. For example, if
you have a BOOK file from which you want to create Adobe PDF, WebHelp, Adobe AIR, and EclipseHelp outputs,
you specify the following:
Source Location of the source document or book. You can specify sources from the local file system, a network or
WebDAV folder, an EMC Documentum® repository, or a Microsoft® SharePoint repository.
Output formats Output formats required and their settings such as PDF settings and WebHelp settings.
Online Help formats such as WebHelp, Adobe AIR-based Help, ePub, and EclipseHelp are defined in the RoboHelp
project settings.
7
Output location The location where you want the output from the build process saved. You can specify the output
location as a folder in the local file system, a network or WebDAV folder, or an EMC Documentum® or Microsoft®
SharePoint repository.
Schedule Schedule to run the task and the frequency.
If you want to create multiple documents from multiple sources, create tasks for each source document.
FrameMaker Publishing Server saves the publication task thus created as a configuration file with the extension FMSN.
An easy way to create multiple tasks for multiple source documents is to create a copy of a task you created, and then
edit it.
Create a task
1 On the FrameMaker Publishing Server interface, select Task > New Task.
2 On the New Task screen, specify a name for the publication task. Task names must be unique even across different
user logins.
Tasks in the publication queue are listed with the task name. Provide intuitive task names that indicate the type of
document and the output formats to easily identify your task from the queue.
3 In the Input list, click the browse button to select the input source file (BOOK, DITAMAP, FM, or MIF files). On
the Specify Source dialog box, select the source type.
Local To use source files locally stored, select this option and click the browse button to specify the source file path.
Use this option if you copy the source files to the FrameMaker Publishing Server machine before you run the
publication tasks.
File Server To use source files stored on a file server, network folder, or a WebDAV folder, select this option. You
can provide the folder path and the login credentials for the user who has access to the network drive. Use this
option to run publication tasks from source documents stored on your computer.
Note: You only require read access to the network folder.

Creating and managing publication tasks
Documentum® To use source files stored in an EMC Documentum® repository, select this option and enter the
Documentum® repository information.
SharePoint To use source files located in a Microsoft® SharePoint repository, select this option and specify the
credentials for accessing the SharePoint repository.
4 (Optional) To update the FrameMaker book during the publication task run, set the book update options. Click
Update Settings and select the required options.
Typically, use this option for FrameMaker documents when you are running the publication tasks on FrameMaker
books.
5 Select the required output formats, and specify the format settings for each output type.
For example, select the PDF settings, if available. If you haven’t defined the PDF settings, FrameMaker Publishing
Server reads the PDF settings that are defined in the FrameMaker source documents and apply them to the PDF
output generated from the source. Click the Edit button to modify the format settings.
Note: To generate the Native Mobile App output, you need additional software and settings. For details, see “Extra
settings for Native mobile app” on page 9
6 For each output type selected, set the destination path where you want to have the output saved. Click the browse
button to specify the destination type. Select Use Same Folder For All Output Formats if you want to have all
outputs saved to the same folder as the source files. You must have read/write access to this folder.
You can set any destination type irrespective of where the source files reside. For example, if the FrameMaker
source files were in a network or WebDAV older, you can still specify a Documentum® repository as the destination.
8
Note: FrameMaker Publishing Server overwrites any files with the newly generated outputs. To keep the output files
from an earlier publication task, move them to another folder. You can run a post-publish command as part of the
publication task to move the output files to another location after the publication task is completed.
7 Select Run Pre-Publish ExtendScript to specify any automation script that you created.
For example, if you have defined conditional text settings to two different output formats—a PDF output with
screenshots, and an online Help output without screenshots, specify the Show/Hide setting in the ExtendScript
script for each output format.
8 (Optional) Select Post-Publish Command to specify any system command that you want to run on the outputs after
the publication task is run. You can create a batch script and provide its path so that FrameMaker Publishing Server
runs the script after the publication task is completed.
9 Select Schedule Task to add it to the publication queue. If you want the publication task to run immediately, do not
edit the schedule. By default, the task runs a minute after you complete the configuration.
Enter the user name and password and click Save.

Creating and managing publication tasks
Typically, you author content in FrameMaker, and then define the conversion settings to link or import content from
FrameMaker to RoboHelp. In such scenarios, you define your conversion settings that include the following:
• Style mapping between FrameMaker and RoboHelp
• Cascading style sheets (CSS) for the online Help format that you create from RoboHelp
• RoboHelp Project File (XPJ) that contains the definitions for output formats
With FrameMaker Publishing Server, you can create reusable profiles called Quick Sets for each online Help format.
These conversion profiles contain all the information that FrameMaker Publishing Server requires to convert the
source documents to online Help formats. When you define a publication task, you can select any of these conversion
profiles or modify them and save them for later use.
For example, for WebHelp output from an installation guide, you can define conversion settings. You can then save
this conversion profile with a name such as installation profile, and later select this profile for similar publication tasks.
Define conversion settings
1 On the task definition screen, click the icon next to the settings popup menu for any of the online Help formats.
2 On the RoboHelp Settings dialog box, type a name for the conversion settings in the Quick Set field, and click Save.
3 Click the browse button next to the RoboHelp Import Settings File pop-up menu to select the RoboHelp Import
Settings File (.ISF).
You can select the local folder, a network folder, or either EMC Documentum® or Microsoft® SharePoint
repositories as the source for the import settings file.

3 Click Delete, and then click OK.
Scheduling
Typically, you create publication settings for recurring tasks. With FrameMaker Publishing Server, you can create
multiple publication tasks and schedule them to run at specified intervals. In a typical technical publications
department, many teams create automated builds that are then run at the required intervals. You can specify the
intervals as once, daily, weekly, or monthly. A publication task requires a defined schedule to run.
After you schedule a task to run, FrameMaker Publishing Server adds these as scheduled tasks to the Windows® Task
Scheduler. You can view and edit these tasks from Windows® Task Scheduler independent of FrameMaker Publishing
Server. The scheduled tasks appear with the name of the task and the user name associated with the task.
Keep in mind the following when you determine the build schedules:
• Each source document requires a separate publication task. If you have a large documentation set that heavily uses
single-sourcing approach, you will need to create as many publication tasks as the number of book files.
• Builds are queued—if you want to run an immediate publication task when a large number of builds are in the
queue, you will have to wait for the builds in the queue to be completed before you can run your publication task.
• If you require daily builds, consult with other teams so that your build schedule doesn’t clash with theirs. If you
schedule a large build in the day time, chances are that a once-only build task you want to run urgently will have to
wait until the build queue is completed. A good way to ensure that daily build schedules do not affect other build
tasks is to plan your daily builds to run in after-office hours.
