Hello,
First off, I like to say that I do not have any experience with ExtendScript and looking for some code to get me started. Any help is most welcome.
Here's my current FM book's layout.
For each page, I have 3 main elements in this order from top to bottom.
- An imported GRAPHICS inside an anchored frame.
- Below the anchored frame is the figure CAPTION (e.g. Figure 3. Title of the graphics here).
- Following the caption is some NOTES (description of the graphics)
Goal: Insert/Paste the CAPTION of the next page onto the bottom of the current page after the NOTES section.
Why: I'm converting from FM to RoboHelp. RH Requires a topic title for each page. Our current template does not have any heading text so I need to copy and paste the figure CAPTION to use as the heading text.
How: At the end of each NOTES section of the current page, I like to copy/paste the CAPTION of the next page, with a specific paragraph tag (e.g. h2x or something similar).
The layout after this process will be:
- GRAPHICS
- CAPTION (of current page)
- NOTES
- CAPTION (of next page)
Result: At the end of each notes section, I will have the CAPTION of the next page that I can use to tell RH to create that as a separate topic.
Let me know if I need to provide any more details, but the main idea is that I need to have some script to automate this process as it is very tedious to copy/paste for each page everytime I need to convert a FM book.
Thanks, and appreciate any help I can get.
