Overview
Last updated 9/26/2011
Creating Scripts
Adobe provides ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) with its applications as a scripting utility. ESTK has many features that
make it easier to use than a text editor. ESTK has a built-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 10
in the pop-up menu.
2
Click
.
If FrameMaker 10 is not already running, a message appears: “Target Adobe FrameMaker 10 is not running. Do you
want to launch Adobe FrameMaker 10?”
3
Click
Yes
.
FrameMaker 10 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.
