36.4 Using runfm for Mif2Go conversions

To use runfm, you must have Mif2Go installed on your system. See §1.3.3 Install Mif2Go. Also, you may need Windows administrator privileges on the system.

After you set up FrameMaker for unattended operation (see §36.2 Setting up FrameMaker for unattended operation), you can use the runfm command to start FrameMaker from the command line and run Mif2Go automatically. However, before you test this process, make sure the same operation works when you start it manually from within FrameMaker. If it does not work that way, runfm will not work either.

In this section:

§36.4.1 Locating FrameMaker executable and files

§36.4.4 Closing FrameMaker files after conversion

§36.5.5 Running a single Mif2Go conversion or print job

§36.5.6 Running a series of Mif2Go conversions

§36.5.7 Including runfm in a multi-step or scheduled process
