I had replied to the list earlier that the problem was a couple bad entities within the graphic itself, that was tripping up the graphics conversion to PDF and causing rasterization in blocks where those entities were found. We've since redrawn the graphic and the distortion no longer occurs. Not

Turns out it was an issue with the graphic having some bad entities embedded in the intricate details. Our illustrator redrew the whole thing and that fixed the problem. Chris On Thu, Jan 16, 2014 at 7:48 AM, Shmuel Wolfson wrote: > As Rick said, the embedded graphic was changed from a vector

I noticed that the comments were old, but I'd swear I heard Dov say something similar a year or so ago. I just couldn't find a link. As far as I know, .AI import is still not officially supported-- though it does often work. .EPS and .PDF import are definitely preferable. Mike On 1/16/2014 11:

I would recommend that you save your graphics as .EPS instead of .AI. Unless I've overlooked a recent change, FrameMaker doesn't directly support embedding of .AI files. They do sometimes work, though. Here's an _old_ explanation from Dov Isaacs of Adobe: "First of all, FrameMaker never really
