As far as I am aware, printing from Frame directly to a printer will never
produce good copy as Frame is not intended to be used that way (I think of it
as almost WYSIWYG or blurry WYSIWYG).
Once you create the PDF from the Frame doc, simply print the PDF to obtain hard
copies.

Subject: Imported PDF looks poor
Greetings, and happy new year to everyone!
I'm using FM 8 on Win 7 x64. I have a PDF-actually, a plain old IRS form
downloaded from the IRS site. I create a new FM document, clear out all the
text frames on both the body and master page, then import the PDF onto the
master page. My intent is to complete the form but with some custom
modifications that FrameMaker happens to make quite easily (on the body page).
It all works just fine ... except for this: When I print this form from some
PDF reader-any PDF reader that I've tried-it looks great. When I use FrameMaker
to print the same form, not so great. Both on screen and on paper, the text is
all darkened, the edges of the letters no longer smooth and crisp. It's not
unusable, but it certainly does not appear as it should.
If anyone has an idea as to what may be happening here, I'd appreciate your
help. I have to prepare a number of these forms in various special ways.
Thank you kindly,
Elchanan
