Question:



I have a bunch of FrameMaker files with embedded graphics that have been
converted from MS Word.  Because all those embedded screen shots make
for one gangly file, I'd like to be able to extract these graphics and
have them as referenced files.  Is there an easy way to do this
(preferably all at once)? 

Thanks,

Question:



Hi all,



We're using Frame 10 and doing unstructured books.



We have source files out on a network drive, but we do often copy the
files to our local machines so that we can work remotely and offline on
them.



So now I have a book out on the network drive that somehow is
referencing images on c:\dic\mybook\userguide\images\button.jpg instead
of \images\button.jpg.  A similar thing has happened to some of the
x-refs in 3 of the chapters.  We are getting specific references instead
of relative references.



Does anyone have any suggestions why this behavior is happening? or how
to fix it without having to open each chapter file and repoint the
graphic directory?



I think I'm most conserned about understanding why it is happening, so
that I can tell our team how to avoid this problem.



thanks,

meg

Hi Lynn,

If you still have the Word file, save it as a .docx if it already isn't
one. Then in Windows Explorer change the extension to .zip. Open the
WordDoc.zip in Windows Explorer (right-click  Open). All the embedded
graphics will be preserved as stand-alone graphic files in the word/media
folder.
Then it's simply a tedious process of renaming the graphic files, and
replacing the embedded one in FM with referenced versions of these.

Best,

Baruch Brodersen

Yes, Mif2Go will do that for you.  See the User's
Guide, par. 2.5.3, Replacing embedded graphics with 
referenced graphics.  All graphics are exported 
losslessly in their original formats, whatever they 
were.

Note that you do not need to purchase Mif2Go to do
this; the Demo version will do the job nicely.  You
can do a whole book in one operation.

Lynn,

A few years ago, I had a plug-in that does what you're needing. It would go 
through an entire FM file and extract all the graphics into a folder and 
replace them with linked graphics. The last time I used it was in FM 7.2, 
though, and I am having a hard time finding it again. I have gone through most 
of my bookmarks for FM plug-ins, and lots of the links are broken now; and some 
of the sites no longer offer English options. 


I'll keep digging, but maybe someone else on the list knows what that plug-in 
was and whether it's still available. If it was a Bruce Foster plug-in, it's no 
longer available since his unfortunate death.
 
Rene L. StephensonLynn Gold worte: I'd like to be
able to extract these graphics and have them as referenced files.  Is
there an easy way to do this (preferably all at once)? ___
