Framescript download

For example, here is a function that applies a named paragraph format to a paragraph. The prefixes help me to quickly see the data types of each parameter. As far as the variable name itself, I try to use the object name that the variable represents.

So, I use oPgfFmt as the variable name. Using this convention lets me quickly see that oPgfFmt represents a PgfFmt object. The sName parameter gets matched up with Name in the Get Object command and so on. I find that this method helped me memorize the FrameMaker object model because I have closely associated my variable names with the built-in FrameMaker object names.

When naming functions, the common sense approach is to use some kind of a verb form that describes what the function does. When you look at the function name and its parameters, it should be evident what the function does without looking at the actual function code. With ExtendScript, I do things a little bit different.

FrameScript has two kinds of scripts: Standard scripts and Event scripts. A standard script can consist of functions, subroutines, and events, but it always has an entry point that is not inside of a function, subroutine, etc.

All of the code in an event script must be inside of a function, subroutine, or event. The entry point for an event script is some kind of an event inside of the script.

One point that is pertinent to this post is that an installed Event script has a name, and this name is the value you use for the ScriptArgs key. That way, your event script will installed automatically when you start FrameMaker. Here is an example Initial Script:. Navigate to the InitialScript. Adobe Technical Communication Suite.
