Yes, there is, unless someone here can explain how to link to the graphics
stored on a Sharepoint 2007 server, which we've tried. The network links
disappear when the document is saved, forcing frame to look for the
graphics on the local drives, where they do not reside. If you know how to
make Sharepoint-linked graphics retain the network link location so that
they refresh every time the graphic has changed, I would appreciate the
guidance.

Graphics import problems

2012-08-23 Thread Chris Coggins 
(My apologies if this came through already, me emailer crashed upon send.)

Hi,

Thank you for being here. I am trying to troubleshoot a graphics import
problem with one of our frame users that is not occurring with any of our
other frame users. I don't fully understand how frame embeds graphics into
the document so I need some help determining whether these behaviors are
normal.

All are using Framemaker 10, the problem user is on Windows Vista working
across the network (Framemaker is installed on local computer, files are
hosted elsewhere), the others are on XP working on their local computers
exclusively.

This is what I discovered through experimentation on my own computer (XP,
working locally):
When importing a graphic, I use the copy into document setting, and
import the graphic which itself is in PDF format. I shrinkwrap it, then
save the frame file.
At this point, the objects properties pane reports a PDF facet.
I then save the frame file as PDF using the smallest file size filter,
and then save the frame file again.
At this point, the objects properties pane reports both a PDF and EPSI
facet.
I then close the frame file and re-open it. At this point, the objects
properties pane reports a PDF facet only.
The resulting frame filesize is approx. 400k.
I believe this is the preferred result for our needs.

What is happening on the problem user's computer is that the frame file he
generates retains the object faces PDF and EPSI, and also adds a FrameImage
facet after going through the same steps listed above. His frame files are
enormous, 19 megs for the same file used above, and the resulting PDF files
are also huge (17megs). When compiled into a complete book, he's generating
200meg PDFs whereas the rest of us are only putting out 10meg books.

Can someone help me understand what's happening during the import/embed
process and why we're getting different results across our users?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
