In Memory of Bruce Foster

Bruce Foster, creator of many fine FrameMaker plugins, passed away suddenly on Saturday, June 11, 2011. Although Bruce had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma in September 2010, his death still came earlier than was expected. Bruce’s plugins for FrameMaker were BookInfo, ImpGraph, MifSave, MifToFM, RtfSave, and his most famous, Archive.

Bruce’s website is now offline and, as far as I know, his plugins are no longer available  for sale.

Adobe Engineering has just released a free ExtendScript script for archiving FrameMaker 10 books:

I haven’t tested the script yet, so I can’t necessarily recommend it, but it is certainly worth looking at.
