Adrianne, I have had good results with CATIA files that have been saved/exported in the .cgm file format. I import the .cgm files into FrameMaker.
You can unlock the imported art in FrameMaker and edit it if you need to. Most of the time it does not need any touchup. Unlock .cgm art with this key sequence: Esc, g, Shift+U Gary E.

I also have Acrobat 8 Standard. I have several wiring diagrams in DWG format that I need to import into a FrameMaker file. Because of the size and detail of these diagrams, they must be printed on Ledger (11x17) sized paper. I print the drawing from AutoCAD to PDF. I can open and print the PDF from Acrobat Standard and it looks perfect. However, when I import (by reference) this same file into a Ledger-sized page in FrameMaker, all of the lines look (and print) thicker, which makes all of the small details illegible. In the object details, Frame says that it is scaled 100%. Considering that the file is imported by reference, shouldn't it look the same way? Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks for any help!
