I am using MathType 5 to create equations (the FM equation editor is not robust enough), saving them as *.gif files, and importing them to FM into an anchored frame. The issue is that the text elements and sub/superscripts look fuzzy. They look even worse after converting to Adobe PDF.
I also tried saving the MathType file as *.eps (an archived message indicated this was possible). FM 7.2 does not accept importing *.eps into an anchored frame. I tried copying the equation from MathType and pasting it into FM. It accepts the text and super/subscripts, but not the symbols. So, whether I use *.gif or *.eps, half the equation does not render completely. Understanding that equations have been a weakness of FM for several releases, I would appreciate knowing if Adobe Support or other FM users have found work-arounds. The forum archives do not offer much. For example, is there a 3rd party equation editor that is compatible with FM? Does Adobe have plans to support MathML? In the meantime, the engineers I support are quite displeased with the Adobe rendering of equations. My concern is the possibility of having to return to Microsoft Word, which supports MathType.
