Rosina,

I guess by the overwhelming response, that no one is actually using
the combo that you're looking at. 

I can attest that Framescript will pretty well let you do magic with
FM documents, but it's not a macro language, it's a scripting language
(macros record actions for later playback and there are a number of
third-party Macro recording/playback tools - MacroMania, MacroMagic,
WinBatch, etc. - that work quite well with FM in that regard).

To what extent are you looking at PDF editing? If it's just for
comments and markup, then Jaws PDF editor is probably the only
lower-priced alternative out there right now since the demise of the
Adobe's Business Tools version of Acrobat. If you're actually looking
at editing the PDFs, you should reconsider the approach and then look
at tools such as PitStop Pro from Enfocus.

As far as customizations/configurations go, most FM plug-ins are quite
straight forward and I don't really see the need for any IS
involvement.
