Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

We noticed this years ago, and our solution was to include two images in the file, one for online viewing, and one for print. We included a jpg (I think) for online FM viewing, and a PDF for print and PDF production. When the image embedded in the resulting pdf is zoomed, the resolution is

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

My memory is not as good as it was when I was in my 70s, but this sounds like a problem I had once upon a time. As I remember, the cause was that some Adobe programmer had his copy of FM set to low-resolution because, while he was programming, there was no need for full-resolution images. But

[Framers] FrameMaker crash while working in tables

For about a week or so, FrameMaker crashes when I'm working in a table (not the same table; any table). When I relaunch, the same thing happens. I've saved to MIF and opened that and that usually fixed the "corruption" (for lack of a better term), at least for that table. Sometimes I need to

Yeah...I'm going to try that next. I had a crash about an hour ago and lost an hour of image embedding, so I have to start from scratch on 15 images. Thanks -Original Message- From: Framers [mailto:framers-bounces+john.x.posada=us.hsbc@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

A contributor created some flowcharts within Word. By the time I get them, the squares and arrows are all over the place, so I asked them to give me a PDF of each image. All the PDFs appear with suitable resolution, and some, when imported retain the resolution (viewed at 400%). Just some,

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

It's not quite binary. If the PDF you are importing was created with High Quality Print or Press Quality settings then it should display nicely in FrameMaker. If it was created with Smallest File Size or some other lesser quality settings, then it may look bad in FrameMaker. -Original

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

Maybe I missed this as I haven't been monitoring this thread that closely: What is the source of your PDF (i.e. What program is being used to generate the PDF)? It maybe be that your settings there are determining the preview quality PDF upon import into FM. Craig Ede

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

Hi, I don't actually know. I rarely import PDF into anything. I see PDF as a destination format, so I would import the file from which the PDF is created, be it EPS, png, or what have you. I guess one use case might be to show a form or something. In that case I would import the PDF because

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

So, if the output is fine I recommend letting it go. Since FM format is not your deliverable, then it doesn't matter how FM actually renders the image to your screen. I wonder if somehow FM is using N EPS version of the image and displaying the Tiff preview or some equivalent? Cheers. On Mar

[Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

Hi, guys...when I import PDFs into my FM 11 document, the image that I see is often pixelated. I think this is attributed to low rez for viewing, but I don't remember what changes to make to show a normal resolution image. Thanks - SAVE PAPER - THINK
