FM insets - PDF images do not display in RH

Using multiple versions of FM (10 and 2015), using insets in FM, inserting images in the FM insets by reference, inserting images as PDF files because the quality is good, linking FM book in RH....

The PDF figures do not display in RH and display as blank white spaces. So no PDF images are output to help files, such as Microsoft HTML help (CHM). Other formats can be used for images, such as PNG, but the quality degrades in RH.

The same applies to equations. They are blank in RH and have to be converted to PNG and inserted as an image/figure in FM in order to display with low quality in RH.

Is there any way to use PDF images when linking FM files with insets in RH?

Thanks.

I don't think PDFs are really considered to be an image format & as you've found out, they don't really survive the trip to RH and its output formats.

Hi:

This does not explain why native FrameMaker equations display as blank in RoboHelp. The software should be able to handle equations in insets.

Thank you for the response.

Are the equations contained in anchored frames? That's probably the only way they would get into RH topics.
