Hi group
Has anyone seen the following problem:
Using FM9p250, save the FM file as PDF:
- With the option Convert CMYK Colors to RGB selected, the PDF gets
generated but the clipping path in EPS graphics is gone (the bounding box
gets a white background even when the Fill pattern is
Unfortunately the Save As PDF function in FM9 has some problems with the
font handling engine. Sometimes this function substitutes fonts that
actually are available on the system, and sometimes other weird things
happen.
Also unfortunately, this is the only way to preserve CMYK colours in placed
Again we are hoist upon Microsofts petard. Microsoft has NEVER been able
to print CMYK. Only Linux and the Mac platform have handled it well.

I don't want to select the Convert CMYK Colors to RGB option. In fact, I
never want to convert colors, because I think that converting colors
gives unpredictable results and is therefore a bad idea. Remapping colors,
using tools like Enfocus PitStop, works

I agree. However, remapping with what-ever tool is also lossy, but NOT as lossy
as the Windows FrameMaker generated CMYK - RGB conversion (which generates

Technically true, Jacob.
However, why didn't Microsoft make it easy on everyone in the first
place, since on inception of their OS printing was the major output? Why
in the past 20 years didn't they correct their arrogant assumption that
RGB was the only color output scheme that was needed?
