When moving data between FrameMaker and XML representations, the typical XML attribute does correspond to a FrameMaker attribute. Some XML attributes, however, correspond to a FrameMaker formatting property such as the number of columns in a table or the filename of an imported image. As to why you cannot export the graphics, it could be because you do not have an output filter that handles that format, because you don't have write permission in the directory where graphics would be written, or other causes. --Lynne Lynne A.

The majority of imported graphics are EPS format. After half a day of documentation thrashing and cerebral overload, I think I now know part of the reason for this: I should have included a filepath attribute in the EDD for imported graphics. Adding one at least gets a file id into the XML... even though I still get the error. Grrr. Another possible problem is that the Structured Developer's Guide lists 'EPSB', 'EPSD', 'EPSF' and 'EPSI' as exportable, but not plain old 'EPS'. We are working with EPSs from Adobe Illustrator. I've also encountered an issue with element naming: we used the bullet character to distinguish top-level elements, as in 'Chapter*', and FrameMaker doesn't seem to like this, and appears to be reading the element name only to the character immediately preceding the bullet. Maybe it's because bullet isn't allowed in XML?
