You can easily accomplish these goals with the FrameScript language. This is
a powerful object-oriented scripting language that fully exposes Frame's
C-language API. All you need to write code in FrameScript is a text editor.
I have successfully used FrameScript to perform numerous tasks, including
generate MS HTML Help projects from FrameMaker books.

Note that I am not associated with the company but am a very satisfied
customer.

Hi,

I don't know if you looked at using FDK, framemaker Development Kit.
This FDK has a lot of APIs that you can use to customize frame to work that
way
you want to.
In addition to this, you can also use to automate a lot of process
that are time-consuming when done manually [ like the one you have mentioned
].

You can find more information on FDK from the Adobe site.
To go directly to the FDK site, paste this link in your browser.

I hope this helps you. Take care.

Cheers

DZBatcher will do this. It's a free download from
http://www.datazone.com/. Be warned that I don't know if the current
version supports FM6, and -if not - whether a new version might appear
that adds support for this.
