What format image and which version of FrameMaker? If you're displaying EPS, you're not looking at the same image. FrameMaker's showing a preview bitmap stored in the EPS file and PDF is rendering the actual vectors. On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 5:20 PM Doug wrote: > > I'm comparing how an image

I'm comparing how an image looks on the same monitor when displayed by Frame and in PDF produced from Frame. In all cases the image looks better when displayed in PDF. It doesn't matter what quality the image is; Frame just seems to display images poorly in comparison.

Rather than "set your desktop resolution to the highest it can support" I'd say set your display to its native resolution. I don't believe LCD ClearType / font-smoothing settings have any effect on what's captured. To me, the most important tips are (1) selecting or cropping to show only

Save as HTML was never good for much. With FrameMaker 6 through 11, if you wanted professional-looking HTML output, you used WebWorks, RoboHelp, or MIF2Go. >From FrameMaker 12 on, you can use the built-in subset of RoboHelp features ("multichannel publishing"), though WebWorks ePublisher has some

Not always for better performance, sometimes just because FrameMaker can't render the format on screen. E.g. for EPS vector graphics FrameMaker uses the embedded preview bitmap. On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 11:34 AM Jeff Coatsworth wrote: > > Depending on the image format, FM often sacrifices

Let me see if I'm doing this right! The 'Save As HTML' is somewhat deprecated and clunky. It has some uses, but it is not able to produce a slick output. Trying the options in the Publish pod is a better bet. On Fri, Sep 28, 2018 at 11:37 AM Doug wrote: > Frame 2017. I had been trying Save

Hi Doug I've generated this webhelp from unstructured FrameMaker: www.flowtime.be/samples/enfocus_pitstop_webhelp/Multivolume/Output/wwhelp.htm Generated with WebWorks ePublisher. I don't know which version of FrameMaker you're using, but the latest versions have their own built-in

I've been making PDFs using Frame unstructured, but now I'm facing the challenge of adding HTML output to my list of tasks. I'm familiar with HTML, but making it from Frame is something I've not done before. Can someone point me to online examples of user guides that have been converted to HTML?

FYI, I'm unsure if this is actually a FrameMaker problem or a problem with how Visio saves out to SVG or a problem with the Windows 10 OS. Our workflow is: 1. Paste a JPG into Visio 2. Add some text 3. Save the result out to SVG 4. Import into FrameMaker 5. Save as PDF (or Print with Adobe PDF
