RE: FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

Hello, I have had similar problems with documents, importing PNG graphics that were colour depth of 24 bit or 32bit RGB - which would occasionally give your error message, but most often would often silently crash FrameMaker! If my memory serves me well, I think the problematic PNG files had

Re: FM8 8 error message when importing *.png file

Can you import the same file into another application? Try saving the png as a jpg and importing that. Any other pngs you have problems with? I wonder if the file wasn't written properly or (less likely) if it has a bit depth that's too large for Frame to handle. On Wed, Jun 16, 2010 at 9:24 AM,

Shouldn't be a big deal -- Eclipse is a standard format. You could use either MIF2Go (www.omsys.com) or RoboHelp (part of the TCS2) to generate the code. (Provided, of course, that they/you have already identified what goes into the help.) Contact me off-list if you want to farm it out. Cheers,

Dear Tori, I am a rookie but could nevertheless set up a Frame to EclipseHelp pretty easily using Mif2Go (with some tremendous help from Jeremy of the omsys support team). The thing is that we needed the whole content to be generated as an EclipseHelp, which made things easier. Cheers,

Do they have an existing stylesheet? Is this context-sensitive? Do they require set filenames? Do they have a HAT they want used or is this a one-off project? While a week *could* be enough time, my experience shows that generally with a looming deadline over their heads, details are overlooked
