pulling an image from an FM file

2008-06-02 Thread poshe...@bellsouth.net
Thank ye, Clint -- that's what I'll try this morning.

And from all the good words I've seen about Mif2go, I have a feeling that'll 
also be on my wish-list.

RE: pulling an image from an FM file

Ken,

1. Convert the FM file to PDF, using settings that will not degrade the
embedded image. 

2. Extract the page with the target image into a separate PDF.

3. Import the PDF with the target image into any graphic program that
can read PDF, such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Designer.

4. Use the graphic tool to delete the text, headers, footers, etc. from
around the image.

5. Export the image in your preferred format.

This method also works to recover images embedded in Word documents.

I could have sworn I saw this mentioned here at at least one time in the
past, but don't remember how long ago, but how to extract -- if
possible-- an embedded image from an FM file. (This is what I was given
to work with.)

It's either do that, edit it and then re-import it or ele scan in a
hardcopy and save it as tif and go from there.

Yes.  We posted this info here May 2, in response to a similar query.  
Mif2Go can do that for you, and it works fine with the demo version; 
you don't have to buy it:
  http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm

The process is described in the User's Guide, par. 29.2.3, "Exporting 
and converting embedded graphics".  It works best if the image is alone
in its anchored frame; then you get the original format at full original
resolution back.  You do *not* get the original name, because Frame does
not store it; yet another reason never to embed graphics.

Worst case, Mif2Go exports the graphic at screen resolution, in the
format you select (usually GIF or JPEG), using Frame's native graphic
export filters.  In that case, callouts, montages, etc., are retained,
but the resolution is generally much worse than the original was.

HTH!
