Thanks all.
I really appreciate your feedback -- you are confirming what I
suspected but don't have enough knowledge to back up!
Here's my situation:
I get the drawing package as a PDF file.
I don't have AutoCad or Katia or any of the other drawing progams, so
I can't access the original
Uh no, that isn't what I was saying and I don't think that's what Fred
would recommend either.
You didn't say the source file was a PDF, or if you did, I missed it.
If you already have the source graphic in a PDF, that's your best
final format right there because it's a PostScript file. Vector

No, no, no! I don't believe anyone suggested this!
I specifically recommended PDF and went on to explain why converting a
vector drawing to a bitmap is a _bad_ idea.

tweak it, and save it as a PDF.
That's going to save me a lot of time.

Most people's primary reason is that a reference keeps the FM file
from bloating (copying in physically adds all the graphic info to the
file). This means the file is quicker to load, scroll, and modify, is
less likely to become corrupt just because there are fewer bytes
involved, and is just more
Hum.
I'm having the same problem over and over with the PDF file.
Once it's imported into the file, I can't access it. I ctrl-click the
frame, but the handles don't appear.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

It's possible that the anchored frame is smaller than the graphic,
which means the graphic's handles are under the frame. Right-click
the graphic, do Object Properties and set the top / left offsets to 0

That's fine. You can use a PDF graphic directly in FrameMaker, or you can
convert it to EPS (using Acrobat) with no loss in quality. Acrobat will also
allow you to crop the page size down to the area of interest,

I didn't follow the entire thread. Did you import the PDF into a graphics frame
