Re: [Framers] OT: Adobe Tool Question

Yes, it can still be an issue on Windows, if you are unaware of the steps necessary to prevent automatic conversion from CMYK to RGB. The latest versions of FrameMaker have improved CMYK support built-in, but there are still reports of it being tricky. So I have stuck with using EPS for

Re: [Framers] OT: Adobe Tool Question

FrameMaker is an old program and EPS is an old all-purpose kind of format. It acts as an envelope for both vector and bitmap graphics, without automatically converting vector to bitmap. If you want maximum resolution on printing press, vector is preferable for line drawings because it is

If the source is in EPS and you don't have the originals, or the EPS files were created by somebody who thought that was a reasonable source format, that explains the odd requirement. It's kind of like having only PDFs and not the original source. On Fri, Sep 9, 2016 at 12:01 PM, Tammy Van
