Ah, after 17 years of using FrameMaker, I finally got to see a dialog box

While I've got the latest version of Mif2Go, I've not used it in quite
awhile since I no longer have the requirement to produce HTML docs. So,
I'm in a memory fog here. Back when I first started to use Mif2Go to
product HTML docs, I was not happy with the quality of the graphics in my
Although I use MIF2GO for conversion, I usually use PNG format graphics in
my Frame files so no conversion is necessary.
If something needs to change, I usually do a batch resize or conversion of
graphics myself, using Photoshop, although any suitable program should work.

Hi Mathieu
I just use the graphics as is, so I don't convert them.
From the MIF2Go Help:

I use FrameMaker 9 in TCS2 patched to p250 on Win32 XP Pro SP3 box.
I use PNG format exclusively, SnagIt 8 to take screenshots and edit, and set to

Recently, after p250 upgrade, I have experienced spontaneous reformatting of
random graphics.

A while ago I had weeks of woes with mega-crashes while trying to print to PDF
from Frame books. Eventually, the cure was to apply the hotfix that lots of
people mentioned (I say eventually, because I couldn't download it for ages,

Well,
Thank you all for your pieces of advice!
I'll have a look at your options and try to apply them to my workflow.
Thank you again,
