Chapter 1: Overview
A script is a series of commands that instructs Adobe® FrameMaker® to perform a set of specified actions. Scripts
automate repetitive tasks, such as counting the images in a book or adding an indent to all the para tags in a file. Use
scripts as a creative tool to streamline time-consuming tasks.
If you are new to scripting, you can acquaint yourself with the basic scripting concepts provided in the Introduction
to Scripting manual.

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE
Overview
Last updated 6/4/2015
Scripting support in FrameMaker
FrameMaker supports ExtendScript, which is an extended implementation of JavaScript. While JavaScript files have
.js extension, ExtendScript files have .jsx extension.
For more information on JavaScript modules, tools, utilities, and features that are available to all JavaScript-enabled
Adobe applications, see JavaScript Tools Guide.
Development and debugging tools in ExtendScript toolkit
For assistance in developing, debugging, and testing scripts, Adobe provides the ExtendScript Toolkit. ExtendScript
Toolkit is an interactive development and testing environment for ExtendScript, which is installed with FrameMaker
and all JavaScript-enabled applications. For details, see Chapter 2, “The ExtendScript Toolkit” and Chapter 8,
“ExtendScript Tools and Features ” in JavaScript Tools Guide.
ExtendScript capabilities
Using ExtendScript Toolkit, you can develop and debug ExtendScript. ExtendScript provides the following features
that make scripting easy:
•User interface development tools: The ScriptUI module defines Window objects that represent platform-specific
windows and various control elements, such as buttons and static text. Resource specification allows you to create
user-interface elements. Using the event-handling callback functions, you can define the behavior of your user-
interaction controls. ScriptUI provides a rich set of containers (such as Group, Panel, and TabbedPanel) and user
interface controls (such as Button, Image, Scrollbar, Treeview, and FlashPlayer). ScriptUI works with the
ExtendScript JavaScript interpreter to provide JavaScript programs with the ability to create and interact with user
interface elements. The Graphic customization objects provide the ability to customize the appearance of user-
interface controls before they are drawn. For details, see Chapter 4, “User-Interface Tools” in JavaScript Tools
Guide.
•Extensions:
•ExtendScript offers tools for communicating with other computers or the Internet using standard protocols.
The Socket object supports low-level TCP connections. For details, see Chapter 6, “External Communication
Tools” in JavaScript Tools Guide.
•Adobe ExtendScript defines classes that simplify cross-platform file-system access. These classes are available to
all applications that support a JavaScript interface. For details, see Chapter 3, “File System Access” in JavaScript
Tools Guide.
• You can extend the JavaScript DOM for an application. To extend the JavaScript DOM, write a C or C++ shared
library, compile it for the relevant platform, and load it into JavaScript as an ExternalObject instance. A shared
library is implemented by a DLL in Windows, a bundle or framework in Mac OS, or a SharedObject in UNIX.
For details, see Chapter 7, “Integrating External Libraries” in JavaScript Tools Guide.
•Inter-application communication and messaging: ExtendScript provides a common scripting environment for
all Adobe JavaScript-enabled applications. The cross-DOM API allows implementation of functions, such as open
files and execute scripts, that are common across message-enabled applications. Using simple syntax you can
implement application-specific functionality for message-enabled application. The BridgeTalk class of the
messaging API has globally available static properties and functions that provide access to environmental
information relevant for communication between applications. The error codes defined by the interapplication
messaging protocol are compatible with the ExtendScript error codes. For details, see Chapter 5, “Interapplication
Communication with Scripts” in JavaScript Tools Guide

Overview
Last updated 6/4/2015
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.
1In the ExtendScript Toolkit, select Adobe FrameMaker <Version#> in the pop-up menu.
2Click .
If FrameMaker is not already running, a message appears: “Target Adobe FrameMaker <Version#> is not running. Do
you want to launch Adobe FrameMaker <Version#>?”
3Click Yes.
FrameMaker is launched and connected to ESTK.
To write, edit, and run scripts
In FrameMaker, do the following:
1Click File > Script > New Script.
The ESTK editor opens.
2Write the script in the editor.
3To 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.

Using object model viewer
Object Model Viewer in ESTK helps you to get the information on different classes and the methods in ExtendScript.
Press F1 or click Help > Object Model Viewer to open Object Model Viewer.
In the Object Model Viewer, select an object model under Browse to you can do the following to locate information:
•Under Browser, select the object model for which you want the information. Object Model Viewer displays the
classes in the object model and details such as type, properties, method, and description of the class.
•Search for a class, method, or property.
•Bookmark a class, method, or property. It then appears under the Bookmarks section.
ExtendScript use cases
Some of the ExtendScript use cases can be:
•Scripts to automate repetitive tasks: You can write utilities to automate repetitive tasks, such as change alignment
of all the tables in a FrameMaker document.
•Notification-based scripts: You can write scripts that are triggered on FrameMaker events such as such as opening,
printing, or saving a document.
•Menu command scripts/scripts to extend FrameMaker functionality: Using these scripts, you can add menus
and commands in FrameMaker.
•Startup scripts: These scripts get executed when FrameMaker starts. You can set up scripts to run at startup by
copying them at the following location: <FMINSTALL_DIR>\startup. Alternatively, you can use the Script Library
dialog to register Autorun scripts.

Chapter 3: Sample ESTK scripts
ExtendScript is similar to JavaScript. You can easily develop ExtendScript for any of the applications in FrameMaker
if you are familiar with JavaScript.
Following are examples for scripts that automate specific activities in FrameMaker.
Note: Sample scripts shipped with FrameMaker are at the following location: <FMINSTALL_DIR>\samples
Adding text to a document and enabling change bars
The following script adds a sample text to a FrameMaker document and then enables the change bar. Open a
FrameMaker document before running the script.
Copy and paste the script to ESTK and select FrameMaker <Version#> as the target application. Click the Play button
to run the script.
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var firstPgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
var tl = new TextLoc(firstPgf, 0);
doc.AddText (tl, "Hello");
doc.AutoChangeBars = 1;
The script creates a text location using the new TextLoc()method. Assign the first page of the document as the text
location. Using the AddText() method, add a sample text. Set the AutoChangeBars property to 1 to enable the change bar.
Changing the table properties in a document
The following script changes the left indentation of all the tables in a FrameMaker body page by 1 inch. It also changes
the width of the columns to 2 inches. Open a FrameMaker document that has tables with two columns before running
the script.
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
var tbl = 0;
var textItems = flow.GetText(Constants.FTI_TblAnchor);
for (var i = 0; i < textItems.len; i += 1)
{
tbl = textItems[i].obj;
tbl.TblLeftIndent = (2*72 * 65536);
var tblColWidths = new Metrics (2 * 72 * 65536, 2 * 72 * 65536);
tbl.TblColWidths = tblColWidths;
}
The script creates the document’s main flow using the MainFlowInDoc method. Use the GetText(FTI_TblAnchor)
method to list all tables in the main flow. Using a for loop, for each table, use the TblLeftIndent()method to change
the left indentation.

Use the TblColWidths() method to change the width of the column. This method accepts the argument in a metric
form. So, create the arguments as a metric object using the new Metrics()method.
Note: By convention, there are 72 points per inch. Multiply the inch value with 65536 to get the correct value. 1 inch is
equal to 1 * 72 * 65536 points.

Chapter 4: Differences between scripts and
FDK
If you are familiar with the FDK (FrameMaker Developer Kit) object model, this chapter will help you get quickly get
familiarized with ESTK. Adobe FrameMaker scripts are modeled closely on the FrameMaker FDK. These scripts act
as wrappers to the FDK and hide the complexity of using FDK functions from users.
This chapter documents the differences between using scripts and using FDK.
Naming differences between scripts and FDK
The following examples clearly highlight the differences between scripts and the FDK.
Example 1:
FDK Scripts
Every FDK object is identified by an object ID. Every script entity is identified as an object.
Every property in FDK starts with FP_.
For example, FP_CharTag.
Properties are used directly, in scripts. Remove the FP_ prefix before using the
properties in scripts.
For example, FP_CharTag in FDK becomes just CharTag in scripts.
Every property has its own data type. The properties can either be read-only or read-
write.
Note: All FDK properties can be used in FrameMaker scripts.
Every API in FDK starts with F_APImethodname.Methods are used directly in scripts. Remove the F_API prefix before using the methods
in scripts.
For example, F_ApiSplitElement becomes just SplitElement in scripts.
Every object in FDK starts with FO_.
For example, FO_Doc.
Use objects directly in scripts. Remove the FO_ prefix before using the objects in scripts.
For example, FO_Doc in FDK becomes just Doc in scripts.
Note: FDK object FO_Session is mapped to app and not to Session. This
app script object is readily available for all FrameMaker scripts to use.
Every structure in FDK starts with F_ and ends with a
T.
For example, F_AttributeT.
Structures are used directly in scripts. Remove the F_ prefix and the ending ‘T’ before
using the structures in scripts.
For example, F_AttributeT in FDK becomes just Attribute in scripts.
Some FDK structures contain other FDK structures within themselves. In a script, the
structures within a structure are treated as an object data type.
See the F_TextRangeT structure in Example 3 below.
FDK uses data types such as StrngT for strings and
IntT, UintT for numbers.
Scripts map the FDK data types as follows:
StringT is mapped to Javascript String.
IntT and UinT are mapped to Javascript Number.
ObjHandleT is mapped to Javascript Object.
![](asset-14.png)

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE
Differences between scripts and FDK
Last updated 6/4/2015
The app property is readily available to all FrameMaker scripts and maps to the FO_Session object in FDK.
In this example, you query the ActiveDoc property that returns the Active Document Object(Doc) in the current
FrameMaker Session. The reference to this object is stored in the variable doc.
doc = app.ActiveDoc;
flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
sync = flow.FlowIsSynchronized;
Explanation:
•Line 1 stores the reference to the Active Document Object.
•Line 2 creates an object called flow by querying a property of the doc object.
•Line 3 queries a property of the newly created flow object (created in line 2).
You can query each of the object references as a new object recursively, until you reach the desired object property:
sync = app.ActiveDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FlowIsSynchronized;
The same example in FDK is as follows:
F_ObjHandleT docId, flowId;
IntT sync;
docId = F_ApiGetId(0, FV_SessionId, FP_ActiveDoc);
flowId = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_MainFlowInDoc);
sync = F_ApiGetInt(docId, flowId, FP_ FlowIsSynchronized);
As discussed in the table above, Example 1 demonstrates how FDK properties [FP_ActiveDoc, FP_MainFlowInDoc
and FP_FlowIsSynchronized] are mapped to script properties [ActiveDoc, MainFlowInDoc and
FlowIsSynchronized].
Example 2:
Example 2 builds on Example 1 and shows how methods are called in scripts.
Every object has some methods of its own. These methods can be invoked in the same way as properties are invoked.
In Example 1, you created the doc object. To invoke a method, use doc.methodname(). For example,
doc.UpdateVariables();
This code calls the UpdateVariables method of the doc object.
FDK users can relate these methods to FDK APIs. The same code in FDK becomes:
F_ApiUpdateVariables(FV_SessionId, docId);
Notice how the FDK API F_ApiUpdateVariables becomes the method name UpdateVariables in scripts, as
mentioned in the table above.
Global Methods:
Not every method is accessible through a specific object. There are some methods that are not called through any
objects but are called directly. These methods are called Global Methods. Examples of Global Methods include
ChooseFile(), CallClent() and Sleep().
In addition to these methods, all FDK Variables and Macros are available as Global Methods. These Variables usually
start with FV_ in FDK.
Consider the following line of code for FDK:
F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Capitalization, FV_CAPITAL_CASE_SMALL);
![](asset-15.png)
12
ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE
Differences between scripts and FDK
Last updated 6/4/2015
The same code can be written in scripts as follows:
doc.Capitalization = FV_CAPITAL_CASE_SMALL;
However, there is a separate class called Constants that can be used to access these Global Methods. The script code
can also be written as:
doc.Capitalization = Constants.FV_CAPITAL_CASE_SMALL;
Example 3:
Every FDK Structure such as F_TextItemT, and F_TextLocT are also mapped to objects in scripts. All the fields of
these structures are mapped to the read or write properties of these objects.
For example, structure F_PointT:
typedef struct {
MetricT x,y; /* The coordinate pair */
} F_PointT;
is mapped to the Point object in scripting. The Point object has two properties x and y.
See another FDK structure called F_TextRangeT:
typedef struct {
F_TextLocT beg; /* The beginning of the range */
F_TextLocT end; /* The end of the range */
} F_TextRangeT;
This structure is mapped to the TextRange object with both the properties beg and end being of type TextLoc.
Notice that F_TextLocT itself is another structure.
Note: Structure objects do not have any methods associated with them.
The following example script fetches an Active Document and adds some text in the first paragraph of the first flow of
this document.
doc = app.ActiveDoc;
flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
textFrame = flow.FirstTextFrameInFlow;
pgf = textFrame.FirstPgf;
textLoc = new TextLoc();
textLoc.obj = pgf;
textLoc.offset = 0;
doc.AddText(textLoc, 'Sample Text');
Notice how the F_TextLocT FDK structure maps to the TextLoc object in scripts.
Lines 1, 2, 3, 4 can be combined and written as:
pgf = app.ActicveDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
Lines 6, 7, 8 can be combined and written by passing parameters in the constructor of the TextLoc object as:
textLoc = new TextLoc(pgf, 0);
Scripts have advanced features such as notifications and commands.

Notifications
Notifications is the internal mechanism through which a script registered for a particular event is run when the event
is triggered.
As an example, consider the following script:
/*
Sample script to demonstrate how to use notification mechanism of FrameMaker though
ExtendScript
*/
/*
There are basically two parts to a notification script.
1. Registering for a desired notification. (This is done by calling 'Notification()' with
desired notifications as argument.)
2. Implement a handler for these notifications in your script. ( Implement 'Notify()' in
script)
*/
/*
Part 1. Registering for Notifications
Notification()' is a global function and is available readily in scripting. (Similar to
F_ApiNotification())
The Syntax for Notification() is: Notification(int, int,.....,int, bool);
it takes:
a.) list of notifications(FA_Note_PreOpenDoc, FA_Note_PostOpenDoc etc.) and
b.) param bool: true = register for provided notification list, false = unregister for provided
notification list.
(This parameter is optional and by default 'true')
Note: for more details please see F_ApiNotification() in FDK reference guide.
*/
/*
Notification(FA_Note_PreOpenDoc,true);
This is same as Notification(FA_Note_PreSaveDoc)
or you can register for more than one notification at once
Notification(FA_Note_PostOpenDoc,FA_Note_PreSaveDoc);
Here we register for the notification: FA_Note_PostOpenDoc - this notification is
triggered just after a document is opened.
Notification(FA_Note_PostOpenDoc,true);
*/
/*
Part 2: handler
This can be done by implementing function 'Notify()' that are called by FrameMaker when any

desired even occurs.(Similar to F_ApiNotify())
Syntax for this callback function is:
@params
note: notification id to identify the event.
object: current document or book object which generated the event.
sparam: The string, if any, associated with the notification
(For example, if the notification is for an Open or Save operation, sparm specifies the
pathname of the affected file. If the notification is for text entry, sparm specifies the text the
user typed.)
iparam: The Integer, if any, associated with the notification. Probably the fcode or bit flags.
Notify(note, doc, sparam, iparam)
Note: for more details please see F_ApiNotify() in FDK reference guide.
*/
function Notify(note, object, sparam, iparam)
{
switch (note) {
case FA_Note_PostOpenDoc:
alert("Opened document " + sparam);
break;
}
The line of code:
Notification(FA_Note_PostOpenDoc,true);
registers this script for the FA_Note_PostOpenDoc notification. This notification is triggered just after any document
is opened in FrameMaker.
The lines of code:
function Notify(note, object, sparam, iparam)
{
switch (note) {
case FA_Note_PostOpenDoc:
alert("Opened document " + sparam);
break;
}
pops up an alert with the file name just after the file is opened.
Menus and Commands
Scripting allows you to add custom menus and associate commands with these menus. In addition, you can implement
your own handlers for commands in a similar way as the FDK.
The following script adds two menus and associated commands to the FrameMaker main menu.
![](asset-18.png)

mMenu = app.GetNamedMenu("!MakerMainMenu") ;
// F_ApiGetNamedMenu(FV_SessionId, FO_Menu, (ConStringT)"!MakerMainMenu")
/*

*/
nMenu1 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu1", "Menu1");
nMenu2 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu2", "Menu2");
// Adding command to menus
/*
DefineAndAddCommand(cmdID, name, label, shortcut)
FDK equivalent: F_ApiDefineAndAddCommand(IntT cmdID, F_ObjHandleT toMenuId, StringT name,
StringT label, StringT shortcut)
cmdID is a integer that will be passed to Command() function defined in your script. It should
be unique to the script.
*/
nMenu1.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"cmd1","command1","");
nMenu2.DefineAndAddCommand(2,"cmd2","command2","");
// Another way for creating a command and adding it to menu items.
//cmd3 = DefineCommand(3, "cmd3", "cmd3", "");
// FDK equivalent : F_ApiDefineCommand(IntT cmdID, StringT name, StringT label, StringT shortcut)
// add the command to different menu items
//nMenu1.AddCommandToMenu(cmd3);
// FDK equivalent : ApiAddCommandToMenu(F_ObjHandleT toMenuId, F_ObjHandleT commandId)
//nMenu2.AddCommandToMenu(cmd3);
// must call if script has been run through ESTK, redundant otherwise.
UpdateMenus();
// Call back equivalent to F_ApiCommand(command)
function Command(cmd){
switch(cmd) {
case 1:
alert("Command1 executed");
break;
case 2:
alert("Command2 executed");
break;
}
}
Let us examine the script in detail:
1The line: mMenu = app.GetNamedMenu("!MakerMainMenu") ; fetches the name of the FrameMaker main menu
and stores it in the variable mMenu.
2The lines:
nMenu1 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu1", "Menu1");
nMenu2 = mMenu.DefineAndAddMenu("Menu2", "Menu2");
add two new menu entries Menu1 and Menu2, under the main menu. The name of the main menu is already stored
in step 1.

3The commands:
nMenu1.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"cmd1","command1","");
nMenu2.DefineAndAddCommand(2,"cmd2","command2","");
add two new menu entries called Command 1 and Command 2 under the menu entries Menu1 and Menu2, that
were defined in step 2.
4Finally, the block of code:
function Command(cmd) {
case 1: alert("Command 1 executed");
break;
case 2: alert("command 2 executed");
break;
}
assigns the relevant commands to the menu entries defined in step 3.
The number after the keyword case is the menu ID. Look at the command in step 3:
nMenu1.DefineAndAddCommand(1,"cmd1","command1","");
The first value within the parenthesis is the menuID. This value is passed to the case statement.
The system pops up the relevant alert when the corresponding menu entry is clicked.

Description
The Import() method imports text or graphics into a document.
Import() allows you to specify a script (property list) specifying how to import text or graphics and how to deal with
error and warning conditions.
For example, you can specify whether to import a file by reference or by copy.
If you import a file by reference, Import() creates an inset. The following list summarizes the types of files you can
import with Import() and the types of inset objects it creates when you import them by reference:
•Graphics - FO_Inset
•Text - FO_TiText, FO_TiTextTable

When you import text into a table, in addition to setting Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) to
Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8), you must specify a value for the Constants.FS_ImportTblTag (25)
property. If you set the Constants.FS_TreatParaAsRow (28) property to True, you must also specify a value for the
Constants.FS_CellSeparator (29) property.
The property list returned by GetImportDefaultParams() does not specify values for the
Constants.FS_ImportTblTag (25) and Constants.FS_CellSeparator (29) properties.
If you use the property list to import a table and do not specify a value for Constants.FS_ImportTblTag (25),
Import() fails and sets FA_errno to Constants.FE_BadParameter (-43).
If you set Constants.FS_TreatParaAsRow (28) to True and do not specify a cell separator by setting
Constants.FS_CellSeparator (29), Import() fails and sets FA_errno to Constants.FE_BadParameter (-43).
If GetImportDefaultParams() fails, the Import() method sets the len field of the returned PropVals structure to 0.
The Import() method returns the object that was imported, on success.
Note: Import() returns 0 on success, if it imports a copy or a graphic inset.
On failure, the method assigns one of the following values to FA_errno:
Constants.FS_ImportTblTag (25) Specifies the table format to use, if Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) is set to
Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8). The default value is null.
Constants.FS_LeaveHeadingRowsEmpty (27) Leave the heading rows empty if Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) is set to
Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8). Constants.FS_LeaveHeadingRowsEmpty (27) is set to
either True or False.
•True - Leave heading rows empty.
•False - Do not leave heading rows empty.
Constants.FS_NumCellSeparators (30) Denotes the number of spaces to use as a separator, if Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) is set to
Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8), and Constants.FS_CellSeparator (29) is set to a space ('
'). The default value is 1.
Constants.FS_NumColumns (31) Specifies the number of columns in the table, if Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) is set to
Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8), and Constants.FS_TreatParaAsRow (28) is False. The
default value is 1.
Constants.FS_TblNumHeadingRows (26) Specifies the number of heading rows in the table, if Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) is set to
Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8). The default value is 1.
Constants.FS_TreatParaAsRow (28) Convert each line in the text file into a row of table cells and use Constants.FS_CellSeparator
(29) and Constants.FS_NumCellSeparators (30) to determine how to divide the line into
separate cells, if Constants.FS_FileIsText (16) is set to Constants.FV_DoImportAsTable (8).
Constants.FS_TreatParaAsRow (28) is set to either True or False.
•True - Convert each line into a row of table cells.
•False - Convert each line into a table cell instead.

NewTable
Description
Inserts a table (FO_Tbl object).
When you create a table in the user interface, you can specify a Table Catalog format for the table. FrameMaker uses
the following properties of the Table Catalog format as the defaults for the new table:
•Number of body rows (TblInitNumBodyRows)
•Number of columns (TblInitNumCols)
•Number of footer rows (TblInitNumFRows)
•Number of header rows (TblInitNumHRows)
•Paragraph formats for header, body, and footer cells
For example, if the Table Catalog format’s TblInitNumCols property is set to 8, the NumCols property of the new table
is set to 8.With the NewTable() method, you can use the Table Catalog format properties as defaults for the number
of rows and columns in a new table, or you can provide your own defaults. After you have create a table, you can add
or remove rows with the AddRows() and DeleteRows() methods. You can add or remove columns with the
AddCols() and DeleteCols() methods. If you use the NewTable() method to create a table in a structured
FrameMaker document, FrameMaker applies default element tags, such as Table, Row, and Cell, to the table element
and its child elements. To make these elements valid, you must add code to change their tags. In most cases it is easier
to add tables to structured documents by calling the NewElementInHierarchy() or NewElement() methods to add
a table element.
On success, the method returns the newly added table.
On failure, the method returns one of the following values to FA_errno:
Error Reason
Constants.FE_WrongProduct (-60) The current FrameMaker version does not support the requested operation
Constants.FE_BadDocId (-2) Invalid document.
Constants.FE_BadSelectionForOperation (-59) Current text selection is invalid for this operation.

Paste
Description
Pastes the contents of the FrameMaker Clipboard into a specified document at the insertion point. Cutting and Pasting
objects causes FrameMaker to create an ID for the pasted object.
Specifying a value of 0 for the flags parameter, causes the Paste() method to suppress any interactive alerts or warnings
that arise. In addition, the method inserts columns to the left of the current columns and rows above the current row.
You can OR the following values into flags:
Error Reason
Constants.FE_BadDocId (-2) Invalid document.
Constants.FE_BadObjId (-3) Invalid Object
Constants.FE_NotTextObject (-41) Object specified for the text location is not a paragraph (FO_Pgf).
Constants.FE_OffsetNotFound (-21) Offset specified for the text location could not be found in the specified paragraph or text line.

use the default format, specify NULL.
numCols int No The number of columns in the table. To use the default number
of columns from the Table Catalog format, specify -1.
numBodyRows int No The number of rows in the table. To use the default number of
body rows from the Table Catalog format, specify -1.
numHeaderRows int No The number of heading rows in the table. To use the default
number of header rows from the Table Catalog format, specify -
1.
numFooterRows int No The number of footing rows in the table. To use the default
number of footer rows from the Table Catalog format, specify -1.
textLoc TextLoc No The location at which to insert the new table. The location
cannot be within a footnote or a table.

Function Summary
Last updated 6/4/2015
When you use the Paste() method to paste table cells into a table, it does not work exactly like the interactive Paste
command.
The interactive Paste command automatically overwrites cells if the Clipboard contains less than an entire row or
column. For example, if the insertion point is in a three-column table and the Clipboard contains a single cell, the
interactive Paste command overwrites the cell containing the insertion point with the cell on the Clipboard.
If two cells in the table are selected, the interactive Paste command overwrites both of them with the cell on the
Clipboard.
By default, the Paste() method does not overwrite any cells. If the Clipboard contains less than an entire row or
column when you call Paste(), or if the current selection is less than an entire row, the Paste() method does nothing
and returns Constants.FE_BadSelectionForOperation (-59).The method ensures that you do not inadvertently
overwrite any cells.
To make the Paste() method replace cells with the Clipboard contents, you must call it with the
Constants.FF_REPLACE_CELLS (0x0020) flag set. The Constants.FF_INTERACTIVE (0x0001) flag takes
precedence over other flags.
If you specify Constants.FF_INTERACTIVE (0x0001)|Constants. FF_DONT_DELETE_HIDDEN_TEXT (0x0004)
and the selection contains hidden text, FrameMaker prompts the user, and allows the user to choose whether to delete
the hidden text or retain it.
It is illegal to specify Constants.FF_REPLACE_CELLS (0x0020)| Constants.FF_INSERT_BELOW_RIGHT
(0x0008).
The method returns FE_Success on success.
On failure, the method returns one of the following values to FA_errno:
Returns
int
Syntax
Paste(flags)
Constants.FF_VISIBLE_ONLY (0x0010) Cut only the visible portion of the selection.
Constants.FF_DONT_DELETE_HIDDEN_TEXT (0x0004) Do not replace hidden text.
Constants.FF_DONT_APPLY_ALL_ROWS (0x0040) Do no’t apply condition setting on the Clipboard to all rows. If whole table is selected
and the Clipboard contains condition setting, cancel the paste operation.
Constants.FF_REPLACE_CELLS (0x0020) Replace selected cells with cells on the Clipboard.
Constants.FF_INSERT_BELOW_RIGHT (0x0008) Add columns to the right of the current column or below the current row.
Error Reason
Constants.FE_BadOperation (-27) Function call specified an illegal operation.
Constants.FE_BadDocId (-2) Invalid document.
Constants.FE_BadSelectionForOperation (-59) Current text selection is invalid for this operation.
Constants.FE_Canceled (-44) User canceled the operation.

QuickSelect
Description
Implements a quick-key interface that allows the user to choose a string from a list of strings in the document Tag area.
The QuickSelect() method highlights the document Tag area and displays a prompt and the first string in a specified
list of strings.
The user can display a string in the Tag area by typing the first few letters of the string. The user can also scroll through
the strings by pressing the up and down arrow keys.
To choose a string, the user presses Return when the string appears in the Tag area. To cancel the choice, the user clicks
in the document without pressing Return.
On success, the method returns an index into the array of strings specified by stringlist or -1 if the user cancels the
quick selection.
On failure, the method returns one of the following values to FA_errno:
Parameter name Data Type Optional Description

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE
Function Summary
Last updated 6/4/2015
To set a UBytes facet:
1Call SetUBytesByName() to set the facet data.
If you are setting a facet with less than 10K of data, you need to call SetUBytesByName() only once.
If you are setting the facet with more than 10K of data, you should call SetUBytesByName() multiple times, setting
a chunk of the data each time. You can size the chunks between 0 and 10K.
Note: If you use larger chunks, the set operation goes faster. However, if the chunks are too large, you may overload
your platform’s interapplication communication mechanism.
2Call SetUBytesByName() with propName set to an empty string (" ").
This lets the ESTK know that you have finshed setting up the facet.
The method does not return anything on success.
On failure, the method returns one of the following value to FA_errno:
Returns
Void
Syntax
SetUBytesByName(propName, setVal)

Function Summary
Last updated 6/4/2015
If you call DefineAndAddCommand() and specify the name of a command that is already defined in the user’s menu
configuration files, FrameMaker gives precedence to the definition in the configuration files.
If the configuration files assign a label or a shortcut to the command, then FrameMaker uses it instead of the one you
specify.If the command is already a menu item, FrameMaker ignores the menu that you specify and leaves the menu
item where it is.
Note: If you want to add a command to more than one menu, do not call DefineAndAddCommand() repeatedly to add
the command to the menus. To add a command to multiple menus, define the command first by calling
DefineCommand()—or call iDefineAndAddCommand(), if you want to define and add the command to a menu at the
same time—and then call AddCommandToMenu() to add the command to other menus.
The method returns the command, on success.
On failure, the method returns one of the following values to FA_errno:
Returns
Command

Notification
Description
Requests that the FrameMaker product notify your client whenever a specified event, or stage of an event, occurs.
Note: If FrameMaker encounters an internal error and exits, it does not send any notification to your client about
operations performed after the error occured. For example, after an error, FrameMaker allows the user to save changes
in open documents, but it does not notify any clients of the save operations.
Many events have several notification points or stages for which you can request notification.The following table lists
the notification points and the constants that specify them:
Parameter name Data Type Optional Description
opennewXMLParamsp PropVals No A property list telling the FrameMaker product how to open the
file and how to respond to errors and other conditions. To use

Parameters
PrintFAErrno
Description
Prints the current error status, represented by the global variable, FA_errno. The method is useful for debugging
clients.
When a method fails, it stores an error code in the global variable, FA_errno.
FA_errno retains the error code until another function fails and sets it or until your code explicitly sets it.
To determine whether a method call has failed, initialize FA_errno to FE_Success once before calling the method and
check it once after the method call is completed.For example, if you call the Notification()method and specify an
invalid notification constant, the method sets FA_errno to Constants.FE_BadNotificationNum (-30). If you
subsequently call PrintFAErrno(), it prints the string FE_BadNotificationNum.
On failure, PrintFAErrno() assigns the following value to FA_errno:
Returns
Void

Parameters
ReturnValue
Description
Sets a return value for a client-defined callback. The method allows a client to provide status information to the
FrameMaker product or client that called the callback.You can call this method in the following callbacks:
•DialogEvent()
•Notify()
ReturnValue() is useful for canceling FrameMaker product operations. When your client receives a
Constants.FA_PreNotificationPoint notification for an operation, it can cancel the operation by calling
ReturnValue() with retvalue set to Constants.FR_CancelOperation (-10001).
For example, if your client’s Notify() callback responds to all Constants.FA_Note_PrePrint (48) notifications by
calling ReturnValue() with retvalue set to Constants.FR_CancelOperation (-10001), FrameMaker cancels all
print operations.
Your client can also call ReturnValue() in a DialogEvent() callback to prevent FrameMaker from closing a modal
dialog box.
You can set retvalue to any integer. If you client sets retval in response to one of the following notifications, it can use
the following listed constants:
Error Reason
Constants.FE_Transport (-1) A transport error occurred.
Parameter name Data Type Optional Description
Void No NULL
Notification Values that client can pass to
ReturnValue()
Meaning
Constants.FA_NOTE_PreNotificationPoint Constants.FR_CancelOperation (-10001) Cancel the operation for which the
notification was issued
Constants.FA_Note_ClientCall (13) Any value recognized by the client that
called CallClient().
Client-defined.
Constants.FA_Note_FilterIn (14) •The document into which the file was
filtered.
•0
•The document was filtered successfully.
•The document was not filtered
successfully.

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER SCRIPTING GUIDE
Function Summary
Last updated 6/4/2015
Calling ReturnValue() for notifications other than those listed above, has no effect.
A client can also call ReturnValue() in a DialogEvent() callback that responds to actions in a client-defined modal
dialog box.
Normally, when the user clicks a button in a client-defined modal dialog box, FrameMaker calls the client’s
DialogEvent() callback and then closes the dialog box. However, if the client’s DialogEvent() callback calls
ReturnValue() with retvalue set to Constants.FR_DialogStayUp (-10000) , FrameMaker does not close the
dialog box.
The following table lists the values that a client can pass to ReturnValue() in a DialogEvent() callback:
On success, ReturnValue() returns the value of the retvalue parameter that was set, the previous time
ReturnValue() was called in the current callback function.
On failure, the method assigns the following value to FA_errno:
Returns
int
Syntax
ReturnValue(retvalue)
Parameters
Constants.FA_Note_DisplayClientTiDialog (35) Constants.FR_DisplayedTiDialog (-10002) The client has displayed its version of the Text
Inset Properties dialog box.
Constants.FA_Note_PreSaveAsPDFDialog (71) •Constants.FR_CancelOperation (-10001)
•Constants.FR_SkipStep (-10004)
•Cancel the Save As PDF operation.
•Do not display the Acrobat Settings dialog
box
Constants.FA_Note_PostSaveAsPDFDialog (72) Constants.FR_CancelOperation (-10001) Cancel the Save as PDF operation.
Note: This event occurs before the
distilling operation begins. You can
now cancel the peration after the user
closes Save As PDF dialog box.
Constants.FA_Note_PreDistill (73) Constants.FR_CancelOperation (-10001) Cancel the Save as PDF operation.
Value Meaning
Constants.FR_DialogStayUp (-10000) Do not close the modal dialog box in which the event occurred.
Any other value Close the modal dialog box.
Error Reason

SimpleNewDoc
Description
Creates a new document from a specified template.
Note: If you call SimpleNewDoc() with interactive set to True and the user clicks etiher Portrait, Custom, or Landscape
in the New dialog box, SimpleNewDoc() does not create a document. Intead, it returns 0 and sets FA_errno to either
Constants.FE_WantsPortrait (-48), Constants.FE_WantsCustom (-46), or Constants.FE_WantsLandscape
(-47), respectively. It is up to your client to create a portrait, custom, or landscape document.
Note: For more information on creating custom documents, see “CustomDoc” on page 728.
If SimpleNewDoc() fails, the method assigns an error code to FA_errno. The error codes for SimpleNewDoc() are the
same as those for Open(). For a list of these error codes, see “Open” on page 758.

UserCancel() is useful for clients that conduct extensive processing that the user may want to cancel. For example, if
your client processes all the documents in a book, it can call UserCancel() after it processes each document.
If UserCancel() returns True, your client can abort the processing.
Returns True if the user has executed the Cancel gesture, or False if the user has not executed the Cancel gesture.
Returns
int
Syntax
UserCancel()
Parameters
SimpleOpen
Description
Opens a document or book.
If you call SimpleOpen() with interactive set to True, FrameMaker displays the Open dialog box. It uses the path
specified by the session property, OpenDir, as the default path.
If a warning or error condition arises, FrameMaker notifies the user. For example, if a document uses fonts that are
not available, FrameMaker displays a dialog box that allows the user to cancel the operation or to continue and remap
the fonts.If you set interactive to False, FrameMaker does not display the Open dialog box or other messages and
warnings. If it is necessary to modify a file to continue opening it, SimpleOpen() aborts the operation without
notifying the user, and returns 0.
Note: You cannot use SimpleOpen() to open filterable files. To open filterable files, use “Open” on page 758
The method returns the document opened, on success.
If SimpleOpen() fails, the method assigns an error code to FA_errno. The error codes for SimpleOpen() are the same
as those for “Open” on page 758.

For example, you can specify whether to abort or to continue opening a document if it contains fonts that are not
available. If the file is already open and invisible, it will make the file visible.
To get a property list to specify for the openParams parameter, use GetOpenDefaultParams() or create the list from
scratch.
To create a new document with Open(), set the Constants.FS_NewDoc(29) property in the openParams property list
to True.
Note: When creating a new document (Constants.FS_NewDoc (29) is True) and you display the New dialog box
(Constants.FS_ShowBrowser (1) is True) and if the user clicks etiher Portrait, Custom, or Landscape in the New dialog
box, Open() does not create a document. Intead, it returns 0 and sets FA_errno to either
Constants.FE_WantsPortrait (-48), Constants.FE_WantsCustom (-46), or Constants.FE_WantsLandscape
(-47), respectively. It is up to your client to create a portrait, custom, or landscape document.
Note: For more information on creating custom documents, see “CustomDoc” on page 728.
The method returns the document or book if it opens it successfully, or 0 if an error occurs.
The property list to which openReturnParams is set has the properties shown in the following table:
Both the Constants.FS_OpenNativeError(2) property and the FA_errno global variable indicate the result of a call
to Open(). The following table lists the possible status flags and the FA_errno and
Constants.FS_OpenNativeError(2) values associated with them.
Property Meaning and possible values
Constants.FS_OpenedFileName (1) A string that specifies the opened file’s pathname. If you scripted
Constants.FS_ShowBrowser (1), or the file was filtered, or you did not specify
the pathname, this pathname can be different from the one you specified in the
Open script.
Constants.FS_OpenNativeError (2) The error condition; normally the same value as FA_errno. If the file is opened
successfully, it is set to FE_Success.
Constants.FS_OpenStatus (3) A bit field indicating what happened when the file was opened.

PromptMetric() does not assign a value to *metricp if the user clicks Cancel.
PromptMetric() dialog boxes behave like metric dialog boxes in the user interface.If the user types a number followed
by a string that represents a unit (for example 10pts or 5"), the method converts the number into the equivalent
number of metric units. If the user does not specify a unit, the method uses points (metric 65536).
The method returns 0 if the user clicked OK; a nonzero value if the user clicked Cancel or an error occurred.
On failure, the method assigns the following value to FA_errno:

Displays a dialog box that prompts the user for a single string value. It allows you to provide a default string, which
appears in the entry field when the dialog box appears. The dialog box has OK and Cancel buttons.
Note: Do not call PromptString() to prompt the user for a pathname. If the user enters a pathname as a string, the
backslash character (\) is interpreted as a special escape character. For example, the characters \s represent a space. If
the user enters the pathname c:\sample, this string is interpreted as c: ample. To prompt the user for a pathname, use
“ChooseFile” on page 764 to display a file selection dialog box.

Service
Description
Services calls from FrameMaker to the ESTK API.
Service() waits for and dispatches a single Windows message. If your application contains its own message
processing loop you need not call this routine.
It is not feasible for console applications to receive ESTK notifications since there is no way for them to both wait for
