Re: Maddening problem with frame below

2007-04-11 Thread Peter Gold
I believe that earlier FrameMaker releases were limited to 4pt as the smallest font size. With the 2pt minimum now allowed, perhaps it's possible that the conditional text programming wasn't changed accordingly. I think earlier in this thread a larger point size was noted also to fail, so

Hi Alex, I have seen this with certain PNG files, but I don't know exactly what causes the problem. My solution is to open the PNG with Photoshop and resave it and then try to import it again. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing 585-659-8267 www.frameexpert.com i've got the following error while

Well, first, how much memory do you have? FM runs graphics through an import filter and if you actually are low on RAM Then, specific to .PNGs, open it an set the bit depth to 8 bits; if it's 24 you may have other problems. Art On 4/11/07, Alexander Witzigmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Some people, with some .pngs, find that the colors migrate into the FM color definitions. Hard to find a pattern though... may be the application that generates the .png. Art On 4/11/07, Alexander Witzigmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: art, RAM isn't the cause of the issue. happens from 1 up to

art, RAM isn't the cause of the issue. happens from 1 up to 4 GB of physical memory. the second hint seems to be the right one. the png i talking about using 24 bit depth. converting it to 8 bit resolves the issue, it's 24 you may have other problems. which problems you are talking about?

Red Element Boundaries

2007-04-11 Thread Mike Feimster
Saw something strange today. When viewing a structured document with element boundaries turned on (either as brackets or tags) the boundaries are red. Just the boundaries. The text itself is black. This is in the document window, not the structure view. And the document is valid. Any ideas?

Bummer. So much for that idea. I guess I'll just keep running Paragraph Tools as part of the conversion process. We're moving toward automating the PDF creation process from our FM files, though, and I don't know if we'll be able to get it fully automated if we're having to run a plugin
