Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML

2008-05-07 Thread bja
Jeremy is correct.

I  initially sent this query to the list (Jeremy must get a squillion
queries and I thought the list could answer this one) but for some reason it
didn't get posted so after waiting 50 minutes or so I also sent the query
direct to Jeremy (and corrected the ENBEDDED typo:)).

Jeremy has since answered my query and I have since taken the necessary
steps to resolve the issue.

Thanks again Jeremy.

A pity it took 4.5 hours for the posting to hit the list but fortunately
Jeremy was much quicker. :)

Let's see how long it takes for this one to be posted.

Cheers,

Bruce

It won't for embedded graphics, only for referenced.  The reason is that
with embedded graphics, we have to have Frame use its native graphic export
filters to produce images, and those always resample the graphics to the DPI
specified at the size of the anchored frame.

It's not 8.0, it's always the case for embedded graphics.  Another reason
that's a Real Bad Idea, as if more were needed...  ;-)

What you can do is labor-intensive, but you only have to do it once:
change from embedded to referenced.  If you still have the original
graphics, you can re-import them by reference with the embedded one
selected, and the referenced one will replace the embedded.

If you *don't* have the originals, you can export the embedded ones from
Frame with Mif2Go, rename them appropriately, then re-import as above.  See
par. 29.2.3.2, "Exporting embedded graphics before converting".

Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML

2008-05-07 Thread bja
Hi everyone.

I have dozens of graphics ENBEDDED in my FrameMaker documents at various dpi
settings. All print well of course.

I convert to HTML using Mif2Go.

By default Mif2Go retains these image sizes so many of the graphics are
unreadable in the finished HTML.

To resolve this, I set the following statement in the mif2htm.ini file:

[GraphScale]
*=0 

In the past (using FM7.1), this setting reverted the graphics back to their
original DPI setting and undid any FM editing as well (such as rotation).

Now, I am using FM8.0 and the above statement does not appear to work any
more.

Looking at the Mif2Go user guide, it says:
-
Image size
Screen captures might be unreadable with "out-of-the-box" options. By
default, Mif2Go retains the image size specified in your FrameMaker
document. However, when you "Save as" HTML, FrameMaker produces the graphics
unscaled. To do the same with Mif2Go, set the following option:

[Graphics]
GraphScale = No

This setting determines whether Mif2Go writes width and height attributes;
when GraphScale=No those attributes are omitted from HTML output.


This should have the same effect as the previous statement so I am wondering
if there is something I am not taking into consideration or if this might be
another FM8.0 issue.

As an aside, I cannot test this as I am no longer on site and only have
FM7.1 at home (I do have a copy of the mif2htm.ini file though). I am just
trying to be of assistance to a previous manager so any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Bruce Ashley

Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML

2008-05-06 Thread bja
Hi everyone.
 
I have dozens of graphics ENBEDDED in my FrameMaker documents at various dpi
settings. All print well of course.
 
I convert to HTML using Mif2Go.
 
By default Mif2Go retains these image sizes so many of the graphics are
unreadable in the finished HTML.
 
To resolve this, I set the following statement in the mif2htm.ini file:
 
[GraphScale]
*=0 
 
In the past (using FM7.1), this setting reverted the graphics back to their
original DPI setting and undid any FM editing as well (such as rotation).
 
Now, I am using FM8.0 and the above statement does not appear to work any
more.
 
Looking at the Mif2Go user guide, it says:
-
Image size
Screen captures might be unreadable with "out-of-the-box" options. By
default, Mif2Go retains the image size specified in your FrameMaker
document. However, when you "Save as" HTML, FrameMaker produces the graphics

when GraphScale=No those attributes are omitted from HTML output.


This should have the same effect as the previous statement so I am wondering
if there is something I am not taking into consideration or if this might be
another FM8.0 issue.

As an aside, I cannot test this as I am no longer on site and only have
FM7.1 at home (I do have a copy of the mif2htm.ini file though). I am just
trying to be of assistance to a previous manager so any help would be
greatly appreciated.
