RE: FM > PDF bloat
Title: RE: FM > PDF bloat Hmmm... 2 thoughts: 1) If you have the GIMP or PhotoShop, you could open the graphic and see waht might be going on. 2) A quick workaround would be to open the image full-screen in irfanview (or anyother app that will let you get a full screen display), and then do a screen capture of the displayed image. There will be a little of the "Photocopy effect", but not enough for 99% of your audience to notice. It doesn't solve the mystery, but it would let you move along from where you are stuck.

RE: FM > PDF bloat
Could it be that both of the problems are due to multiple facets? You may have your FM set to create FrameImage facets whenever you copy in a graphic. That may generate two copies of the graphic.

RE: FM > PDF bloat
Are you embedding all fonts? Is Arial Unicode MS one of them? Are you calling a character that is getting substituted with one from Arial Unicode MS (and subsequently embedding it)? That font is in the neighborhood of 24MB. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rene S.Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 4:55 PMTo: framers@lists.FrameUsers.comSubject: RE: FM > PDF bloat I am having a similar problem.
