Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

Another possibility is that SVG doesn't include a preview (I don't know -- format never interested me), but if so, FM may be creating one, which may account for the size increase. Might try saving the Visio as PNG and importing that to see what happens; it's generally a great all purpose format.

Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

The PDF version of the graphic does not noticeably change the file size. I am leaning toward some sort of corruption of the original Visio file, since other SVGs saved out of the same instance of Visio are not having the same effect. I'll put redrawing the graphic on my ToDo list. On Thu, May 5,

Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

We use default settings for SVG import. No gradient shading. We use patterns or solid colors. I may try saving this graphic out to PDF and see what happens. This isn't an emergency so much as a nuisance and a cause for curiosity. I've got documents with hundreds of graphics in them, and I don't

Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

Can you use PDF or EPS? Those have been supported for a long time and are probably less buggy. FrameMaker's SVG support is kind of a kludge. Raster quality is a setting in the Import SVG dialog. If the diagram has a gradient fill, a high-resolution rasterization could be enormous. On Thu, May 5,

As a small follow-up, the Import SVG settings are the defaults: Raster Quality: 72 DPI Width: SVG Width Height: SVG Height Still looking for Art's suggestion of save as frame image, but I doubt if that's contributing. On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 2:43 PM, Lin Sims wrote: >

Importing by reference (best practice) or copied in? Do you have Save as Frame Image activated or Off? Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "... In my opinion, there's nothing in this world beats a '52 Vincent and a redheaded girl." -- Richard Thompson

Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

Corporate standards require using SVG as it is a non-proprietary format. Also, we were planning to migrate to DITA, a project that got obliterated thanks to being bought by another corporation. I don't know about raster quality. All the graphics I've created use the same settings, so I don't see

Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

I wish it were by reference, but because of how our DCMS handles unstructured Frame, we have to import by copy. I don't think I'm aware of Save as Frame Image. I'll have to check. On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 2:59 PM, Art Campbell wrote: > Importing by reference (best

Re: [Framers] SVG blowing up Frame file size

Maybe you have raster quality set really high? Otherwise, sounds like a bug in FrameMaker's SVG support. I experimented with various formats for Visio diagrams and found EMF worked the best. I never embed graphics in .fm files (what the FM docs call "import by copying"). I always import by
