I need help! I have a 250 page manual with about 100 gif graphics. I have been asked to do a OEM project with 10 different other companies. This means that I have to make 10 copies of the manual. The only items that will need to change in the manual are items are company logos, model numbers, company name, product name, and the graphics because the company logo will be different for each graphic. I thought I could create one version of the manual and create fields in a database that includes the information specified above and "call" the database from Framemaker to automatically input these fields. I called FrameMaker Sales and they said they don't have a tool to do this. I have heard about the conditional tag feature but i don't think it's robust enough to do this project. Any help or suggestions on the best way to do this?
