Question

Help printing in FM

Hello- I'm trying (for the first time) to create an 11x17 document. The document has a header and footer along with a graphic that fills the rest of the space in between. Both the header and footer print fine - either directly from FM or to PDF. But the top and bottom parts of the graphic get cut off. I have searched forums to figure out why, haven't found anything besides changing the DPI settings in the pdf printer preferences, which I've done. The "cropped" box is not checked in the anchored frame (another solution given to others). It must be something obvious. Help!

Using FM8 on Windows 7.

TIA!!

    What specific version of FM8, as shown on the Help > About menu, including the "pxxx" numbers.

    Other background info needed:

    What kind of a graphic file is it. How is the graphic inserted onto the page, is it on the master page? Body page? Is it a referenced file or is it copied into the FM file?

    Thank you for your message - hopefully this information will help!!

    FM8 p277

    The file is a .wmf. It is imported/referenced on the body page.

    Let me know if there is more information I can provide!

    hmmm. WMFs can sometimes be tricky, it often depends on how the originating application created it. What app does it come from?

    If possible, can you go back to the originating application and create a different file type? png or jpg, for example? or a PDF?

    Was the image resized or is it at 100%?

    As a test, I would try creating a new FM 11x17 file, then import the graphic image again, without any other content (headers, footers etc) and see if the graphic prints / PDFs correctly.
