Framemaker Win32 Command Line Undocumented Options
Adobe buried this information in the knowledgebase for Framemaker. It details different options you can pass to Framemaker on the Windows command line to start it in different modes.
There are limits to the usefulness of this– if you put it in a batch file, then once Framemaker opens, the batch file continues execution. You don’t have any meaningful way to communicate with the running process.
Maybe this information will help some of you. Until we get the wiki up, please post useful tips in Comments…
