Question

dude, where's my graphic?

Pity file attachments are currently disabled ... here's a thousand words instead of a picture.

I'm placing a referenced .psd graphic bottom right on the page, inside the page boundaries and farther in than the edges of the text. In Photoshop, I see all the graphic. In FrameMaker, I see all the graphic. When I save as .pdf, a perceptible sliver of the bottom edge is missing. No artefact detectable in Acrobat. Any ideas?  FM 9.0 on XP, only just installed so currently at 9.0p196

thinks ... perhaps this link to a public server will let you check my screenshots

    Niels,

    [I do believe that you an still include inline graphics (e.g. screenshots) via the camera icon in the web editor interface.]

    It looks like something is clipping the content when rendered, though it might also be fixed in later versions of 9.0 (9.0p250 aka 9.0.3 is the latest). If you do a ctrl+A to "select all on page", is there anything spurious there in your graphic frame?

    Alternatively, you could try another format out of Photoshop. The psd support in FM has some limitations [quirks], IIRC, in terms of colour spaces, layers, transparency/alpha-channel, etc.

    Thanks, Arnis ‒ just installed the patches to get me up to 9.0p230, and I'm now getting the same result in the .pdf as in my .fm source. Good thing too  Still a puzzling, erm, quirk ... but all's well that ends well.
