> 36 Converting via runfm > 36.4 Using runfm for Mif2Go conversions > 36.4.1 Locating FrameMaker executable and files > 36.4.1.2 Specifying FrameMaker file paths: runfm -book, -doc options
When you use the -book
and -doc
options, if you specify
a book or a document or both, you must
use full absolute paths to the book and document files, even if you invoke
runfm
from the same directory where
those files are located. If either path contains any spaces, enclose
the path in quotes.
When you use the -book
option or the -doc
option without
specifying any value at all for path/to/yourbook
.book
or path/to/yourdoc
.fm
,
runfm
uses whatever book or document
is already active in FrameMaker, if any.
If you are updating a file in a book and you
specify a project listed in bookname
.prj
(see §36.4.2 Identifying your Mif2Go project),
use both -book
and -doc
options. When you supply values for both -book
and -doc
, runfm
opens both, book first.
If you specify -doc
but not -book
, and a book that contains
the specified document file is also open in FrameMaker, Mif2Go treats the document conversion as an update
to the corresponding book project. So if you really want the document
to be standalone, make sure you first close any book that contains it.
If you execute a series of runfm
commands without -close
on the same
book or document, you do not have to repeat the -book
or -doc
option after the first command;
see §36.5.6 Running a series of Mif2Go conversions.
As long as runfm
does not close
FrameMaker or open a new book or document, the previous book or document
is still active.
