Hi - we're gearing up to create an automated book-building process using FM11.
Before we start, a quick straw-poll:
What do you folks recommend / suggest as the best automation tool?
We want to trigger the process when SGML files are dumped into a directory. When we've done directory-triggered automation in the past under FM7.1, we've tended to use VB.NET code to trigger an instance of an FM7.1 API client (usually to build and collate PDFs, etc)... but, since we're in a new era with a new release of FM, we thought we'd take an open-minded, 'blue sky' approach here and see what tools members of the Framemaker community are using.
If one particular approach seems to be easier / more advantageous / more widely adopted than any of the others, then I think that might nudge us down that road...
Thanks.
