Hi Framers
A friend has a FrameMaker file prepared on PC with figures imported by copy
that show up as gray boxes when viewed on Mac - so no surprises there.
Examination of the MIF shows that they are bitmaps. Is there any way to
identify the embedded image types from the MIF?
The bitmaps in
Perhaps a PNG graphic slipped into the doc? Save as MIF and open it again - see
if it took care of the unwanted color definitions.
If this took care of your problem, search for PNG in the Framers archive for
an explanation - should be quite a few hits. If not, I've no clue.

Hi Niels,
Totally solved the problem. I don't know what the connection with a png graphic
is, but simply saving the file as .mif then saving the mif file as fm removed
all the black definitions and restored the cusomized colors I'd created in the
original file.
Many thanks.

We are beginning to have to get our manuals and documentation
translated. What's the best way to set up this workflow.
As your translation company for their advice...they have some
experience in this process.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
Hi Steve,
I've been reading this thread with interest as our documentation (FM)
is going to be translated into German and Japonese starting in
January 2007. The people at the other end are distributors who are

There is a book called Localization and Framemaker that explains the basics
of localization, tells you how to find, screen, and hire the RIGHT vendor
for the work you are doing, what you need to provide to the vendor to get a
good estimate for your job, how to work with the vendor, and

I agree with everything that has been said so far. Definitely check with
your vendor to make sure that they handle the technology that you are
writing about. Some translation houses specialize in different technologies

I've gotten myself confused, so I need some help.

"So long and thanks for all the fish."
If you have FrameScript, the ReplaceColors script will also let you
delete all unused colors, including those stubborn colors that can't
otherwise be deleted (w'out saving as MIF).
Also, if you use PNG graphics, make sure they use a 24 bit color depth
before you import them.
