I've been playing with the settings with Acrobat Distiller 9 and Framemaker 9
trying to fix my grayscale images coming out rgb. I have been sending samples
to my printer and each and every sample he is telling me my text is black but
the images are rgb. These are the same images we have used

R=G=B grayscale RGB images typically do not properly print with only the K

So, UNFORTUNATELY, with FrameMaker you have two options

Thanks for your reply.
Here's the history. We've been using these same images for years with older
versions of frame without
problems
Scott,
I'm quite experienced with this issue and may be able to assist with setting
up a Windows solution that runs smoothly and for most parts compensate for
the poor TIFF implementation FrameMaker users have to deal with.
The solution will be built around our Publi PDF software and is
