Hi everybody,
I have a simple Visio drawing containing basic Visio shapes (e.g., a
rectangle with a green background). I inserted a PNG (an icon with a
transparent background) via Insert-->Picture-->From File and put it on
top of the rectangle. So far, everything looked perfect. However, when
I embedded the Visio drawing in Framemaker (without resizing), the
icon became fuzzy and distorted. When I opened the Visio from
Framemaker - everything looked fine again, but when I closed it, the
icon had a stroke ;-). I wasn't too concerned with that as I've seen
many times that Framemaker distorts images, but when converted to PDF,
they look OK again. However, it wasn't the case this time.
When I converted the FM file to PDF (File --> Save as PDF), the icon
itself looked OK, BUT it was surrounded by a white background! In the
Distiller settings, I deselected the "CMYK to RGB" option, and
generated the PDF again -- the white background disappeared, but the
icon looked fuzzy and distorted as in Framemaker.
Do you have any ideas what makes FM and Distiller distort the drawing,
and how to solve this problem?
AFAIK, FM still does not support transparency, so that's why you get the
white background. Not sure why the fuzziness, unless Visio is producing
a low-res preview as in EPS files. (I have never used Visio.)
HTH a bit,
