Oran,
Thanks so much for this. Odd, I've never had this problem before, and even this 
document I have turned into a PDF and it didn't do this. It was just on Tuesday 
when I needed a new version and turned it into a PDF, the photo was truncated. 
I found a work around (smaller photo), but your work around is better. 

Unless, as you ask there is a better solution.

Thanks again,

Bethany

Subject: Photo Truncation in Frame to PDF Creation

I saw a recent sidebar comment that a list member was finding photos truncated 
in pdf output. 
There is a long-time bug in FrameMaker that impacts photos/files imported and 
rotated, such as you might do with a landscape panoramic to make it fit the 
long way in a portrait file. If the long dimension of the rotated file is less 
than the page width it will not be truncated and if greater it will be 
truncated. 

If you rotate in Frame, you will find the photo truncated to the width of the 
portrait page size in pdf output, with white space above/below. So any rotated 
landscape photo, as an example, will be restricted to portrait width in the 
pdf, even though there is plenty of room for it on the page. It looks OK in 
Frame, which can really set you up for a hit. 

My solution is to rotate the photo in a photo editor prior to importing into 
Frame. Then all is good, as Frame is not doing the rotation. 
If anyone else has a solution I would like to hear it.
