Hi everyone,
Thanks to this list, I received great advice and two very good solutions for dealing with my PDF import problem. Here's a summary for anyone that runs into this issue in the future: Problem - I am bringing highly detailed drawings into FrameMaker 8. These drawings are PDFs that print just fine on their own. When I import them into FrameMaker, the lines became thicker, making them unreadable on the screen and on the printed page. Solution #1 - Jan Homan from Visual Integrity suggested using their product, PDF Fly (www.pdf-fly.com <http://www.pdf-fly.com/> ) to convert the drawings into MIF format. This worked beautifully, and he even offered a 30% discount on the web price with coupon code VIT030DR8. Solution #2 - Rick Quatro from Carmen Publishing emailed me off-list and looked at the PDFs for me. He concluded that FrameMaker imports the PDF as an EPS with a TIFF thumbnail. The workaround is to export the Frame document as a PDF and print from that version. The resulting PDF is perfect. After struggling with this problem for more time than I'd like to admit, I wonder why I didn't think of that before! Thanks for all of your responses, Adrianne (who can't control the signature line that follows...) Please take care of the environment, print only if necessary.
