USING FRAMEMAKER PUBLISHING SERVER
Creating and managing publication tasks
Last updated 7/24/2012
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 “

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.
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.
