imported graphic on coloured background - thin white line around the inserted graphic
Hi, I work with FM 8.0p277 on a PC. I have a coloured background in my FM document and have added an image with the same background colour (to make the inserted image look 'transparent') by reference. I have no line around the image, just a fill with the same RGB code as the background color in the FM document. Everything looks fine in FM, the contours of the inserted file are invisible. I produce a pdf file, everthing is fine, no contours around the inserted image visible. When I print the pdf, there is a fine white contour line around the inserted graphic, any suggestions how I can get rid of it? I tried to check the object properties, without success.

Re: imported graphic on coloured background - thin white line around the inserted graphic
You may also want to post to the Adobe Acrobat group because the problem seems to actually be how the PDF is printed... although I agree that the creation process may be a contributing factor. If you want to play in Frame, you might want to try selecting the graphic and/or frame, depending on how you placed it, and setting the rule value of each to your background color. But that's just a guess to test. Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...
