Hi Steve, thanks for replying. And yes, this is primarily an IT problem but I also have a deadline looming. I have not tried saving the files in MIF format, but will. It doesn't happen to all files and I have seen no pattern so far. Just a few minutes ago it did it to a PDF file, so apparently

I suspect what's happening here is that FM won't accept the relative path because it does not exist. If you put the file in F:\Customer\project\translation\incoming\x\x\x\x it would probably preserve it. On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 9:39 AM, Robert Lauriston wrote: > "FrameMaker stores relative paths

I have only ever had this problem upon receiving files back from a Language Service Provider (LSP) - and it has always been the result of a path change made by the LSP. Every doc I publish is moved from my working folders (tied to Visual Source Safe) to a "finished" directory for final compil

I assume you mean editable as a line drawing (vector graphic). Try making a PDF, opening the PDF in CorelDRAW, then ungrouping it. You can also use one of the many free tools to convert the PDF to an EMF, which is also vector. However, I tried the latter method once and it did not go as good of

Hi Harro, I observe this issue very rarely. I do the same as you: I copy a file with my file manager, open it, click Ignore all missing files and then notice that the graphics path has changed. The path changes to the path of the original graphics files. This happens so rarely that I do not take

FM 10 sometimes changes graphics paths

hi all, I recently ran into an issue: we received a set of FrameMaker files for translation. After we sent the translated files back to the customer, they complained that all of the image paths in their files were changed. They were using relative paths that had lots of 'parent' references: ..
