PDF'd colored figures from FM to B/W?
HI Everyone, Does anyone have a clue why the following happens? I have an FM file with a colored PDF figure (imported by Ref). (Don't ask why I have the PDF figures and not tif or something more suitable, currrently, that's what the client has). The FM file looks fine. Then, after I PDF the FM file (with the PDF figure/s) in it, my PDF figures come out in black and white, but not colored. The rest of the PDF is fine, including the other fig's (tif or eps or other). I'm running FM 6 on Window 2000, acrobat 6 and/or 7 were used to create the PDF with the same job options on all apps. Any clues? Thanks, Orly.

What printer is defined when you create the PDF? I've seen this happen if you specified a mono printer. Peter Original Message HI Everyone, Does anyone have a clue why the following happens?

When you import a PDF into FrameMaker, it is converted in the background to EPS, and then the EPS result is used. This conversion is not full-proof. I don't generally use PDF as a graphic format, but I did come across color distortions in imported PDFs (and some other abnormalities). I recommend that you try the following: open the PDF figure in Acrobat, export it to EPS from within Acrobat, and then import the EPS into FrameMaker.
