Do you have the "Save graphics as Frame Image" option turned on? If
so, that may explain how the file functioned without the graphics
files, but that only answers a few of your questions.
Assuming you have a high resolution pdf, you should be able to extract
and recover the missing files...

Large book, many imported graphics, all imported by reference.
Today FrameMaker 7.0 (Mac) reported on saving a file that graphics information
had been lost and asked me to report the problem to Adobe (Mac FrameMaker
problem - Adobe - ha-ha!). On checking the document, it turned out that three
[of many] graphics imported by reference listed as 'No file' for 'Referenced
file' and were grayed out.
Ok, I though - just backtrack to the previous version of the document, check
the files' identities, and re-import them. But although the previous version
showed the graphics correctly in the document, it also listed them as 'No file'
under 'Referenced file'.
Puzzled, I went back to the very first [FrameMaker 6] version of the
respective document. That was the same: the graphics showed up correctly, but
also listed as 'No file'.
But it didn't end there: on reopening the current document that had originally
given the graphics file save error, the problem graphics showed up correctly -
but still listed as 'No file'.
PDFs, including pre-press PDFs, have been created from all of these books.
My questions are:
. How can FrameMaker apparently continue to work with a document with broken
import link(s)
. How can it create Ps without error if one or more graphics appears to have a
broken import link?
. Why did the original error appear and then disappear?
. How could this link breakage have initially occurred?
. Why hasn't the problem shown up before now?
. What is it about Tuesdays? (The above is only one of many minor hassles today)
I think it was Ford Prefect who said he could never get the hang of Thursdays.
I fell the same way about Tuesdays.
