Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML
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.

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.

Mif2Go - FM graphic sizing issue when outputting to HTML
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
