Does FrameMaker 9 have an equivalent to fmbatch? We use fmbatch on Unix to automatically generate our documentation set (50+ books) as PDF on a nightly basis. Doing this by hand would be extremely tedious and inefficient. Given that FrameMaker 8 is the the last Unix version that Adobe is supporting, it's critical to us to be able to schedule this task. So is there any facility in FM9 for automatically opening a set of books and saving them as PDF, and for scheduling this task?

Ken.
