FrameMaker doesn't render EPS on screen, it just blows up the thumbnail bitmap, if there is one. If there's not, you see a gray box. Size the box to the appropriate dimensions, save as PDF, and it should look fine. Or are you saying it's bad in the PDF? On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 12:36 PM, Syed Zaeem

Still, I would find out if the original EPS is vector or bitmap. Logos are typically vector graphics. Vectors have the advantage of creating smaller files which are crisper in display and resize to any size without degradation. But a PNG might be a better choice if only publishing for viewing

As I recall, Frame doesn't display EPS natively. Instead, it uses a TIF image which, as you noticed, is pretty horrible. When you print to PDF, however, it'll look just fine. Unless there's some overriding reason you need it to be lovely in Frame, I wouldn't worry about it. If there is, try convert
