Free Scripts

GolehTek, LLC specializes in developing scripts that extend the power of Adobe FrameMaker^® with the FrameScript^® programming language. Using FrameScript, we are able to add new commands and dialog boxes to FrameMaker. Many of the scripts that we develop for clients compliment a complete workflow package, which may include a combination of scripts, templates, EDDs, and WebWorks ePublisher Pro^® templates. We have developed scripts for embedded help authoring, database publishing, and database-driven glossaries for entire workgroups.

The scripts listed on this page are freely available and demonstrate what is possible using FrameScript. You must have FrameScript installed on your computer in order to run these scripts.

Our growing library of freely-available scripts is listed below.

• BookMover: BookMover is a freely available application for archiving FrameMaker books and gathering all imported graphics into a common graphics directory, with sub-directories organized by chapter name. If you have ever inherited FrameMaker book containing graphics imported from all over the network, you will appreciate BookMover's ability to copy all of these graphics into your local project directory, while automatically fixing all of the links to the imported files.
• BookReport: BookReport is a freely-available application that can help keep track of your FrameMaker projects. BookReport generates reports that identify the interdependencies among the documents, books, and insets in your project directories. BookReport can also help you get organized by deleting .backup files and automatically zipping unused documents.
• GenDex: GenDex is a powerful and freely available application for editing and organizing index terms in Adobe FrameMaker chapters and books. Insert index markers using FrameMaker's marker window. Then use the GenDex window to edit terms, add formatting, create headings, and organize terms. GenDex allows you to edit and organize terms chapter-by-chapter, or you can edit every term in a book simultaneously. When you are finished, click Apply and GenDex will update the index markers in your FrameMaker source files.
• GlossBase: GlossBase greatly extends the ability of Adobe FrameMaker to produce glossaries for printed and on-line documentation. GlossBase enables you to define terms using an unlimited number of paragraphs, equations, graphics, and tables. GlossBase encodes glossary terms and definitions in XML and stores them in a database for fast retrieval. GlossBase enables you to automatically generate a glossary of relevant terms for FrameMaker books. GlossBase also inserts the markers and charater formatting for glossary definitions to appear in a pop-up window in on-line help systems generated with WebWorks ePublisher Pro^®.
