Re: Graphic distortion in frame pdf

Thu, 16 Jan 2014 04:50:11 -0800

As Rick said, the embedded graphic was changed from a vector graphic (line drawing) to a raster graphic (AKA bitmap). Vector graphics stay sharp when enlarging PDF. Raster graphics don't.

In general, embedding files is risky. Every one in a while, you get some bad result. Sometimes it prevents you from creating the PDF at all. It's safer to save the source file as something Frame can import (which is not the same as embed). Frame can import lots of vector formats such as WMF, EMF, PDF, EPS. Personally, I do my graphics in Visio and save them as WMF, then import the WMFs.

Attached are two graphics in pdf format: the clean source graphic (via Illustrator CS5) and the resulting pdf output from framemaker (ver 10).

Can someone explain how to fix the distortion that is occurring in graphic in the pdf output?

I embedded the .ai file into the frame page and tried the "save as pdf" (high quality) and "print to pdf" (standard) methods of output, but the distortion occurs on both. I even tried creating a new frame file in case there was something hidden in the original file I was using.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Chris
