Free download of utility software: DZbatcher [FrameMaker vs 7 to 2017]

What is DZbatcher?
DZbatcher is a command-driven console application which allows a user to enter simple, line-oriented commands enabling single, or batches of, FrameMaker® documents to be opened, updated, printed and saved without being displayed on-screen.

DZbatcher may be used with a DZbatcher command file to perform batch operations on a set of FrameMaker books or documents, without further user intervention.
