I agree. I import Visio graphics into both FrameMaker and MS Word, and
the results have always been legible.

I use the FrameMaker primitives that Bill Briggs created. I added them
to AutoText (you do use the AutoText plug-in, right?), so I can just
select the piece I need from the AutoText menu, type the text, and then
add the next piece. Some final alignment at the end and it's done. Using

Hi, all,
I need to make up some flowcharts to import into frame. I used

FrameMaker ships with a set of flowchart primitives. They are poorly drawn and
pretty much crap. I re-drew them many years ago. Some people on the list have

interested I'll try to find them. I've not used them in
Visio - save as PNG. Works well for me.

Good Morning Beth,
I too use SmartDraw, particularly for flowcharts that include images. I had a
problem with the shartness of images until I tried saving the SmartDraw graphic
as a .png file and using that in FrameMaker. The resulting graphic, whether
print or Acrobat, is great.
Best,
Second that.

Hi, Gillian:
Did you ever try applying FM callouts - as text frames or text lines -
to the imported graphics? This gives the option to use the best drawing
tools for the purpose, and still permits translators to stay in FM.

Visio is primarily vector. You want to preserve the content
as vector. Best best is to produce PDF from Visio and import
either the PDF or EPS (saved from the PDF in Acrobat) into
your FrameMaker document.
