Thanks, everyone.

I have made the changes in the Image conversion settings topic (the changes will be available in the next web update).

Here's the two options and their description:

Use Distiller to generate image

Select this option to generate web-friendly image formats from graphics linked and inserted in FrameMaker documents. You should use this option especially if you have vector graphics formats, such as EPS or AI, or graphics with text content in them.

Do not regenerate images

Select this option to save time if you are re-importing FrameMaker documents and don’t need to update the images in the imported content.

I've asked this elsewhere too, but I thought it worth attaching this to the actual Online Help page: where it says "Use Distiller To Generate ImageSelect this option to generate web-friendly image formats from graphics linked and inserted in FrameMaker documents. You should use this option especially if you have vector graphics formats, such as EPS or AI, or graphics with text content in them." - how do you specify the Job Options used by Distiller in this circumstance?

Hi Peter

We converted large doc set from Fram 9 to RH 9, with the only image setting "Do Not Regenerate Images". All of our images were resized, we now have 10,000 useless images. Any idea why these were resized? Or better, any fix? Its a big mess.

Thanks

Hi DD,

You may have better luck using FM10 with RH9, or using FM9 with RH8, as the products are historically off by 1 rev # since the introduction of TCS.

I have the best luck with eliminating both the Use Distiller and the Do Not Regen options during conversion. Have you tried this yourself yet?

I have a couple of questions. First, I cannot find "Use PDF to Generate Image" in the image conversion settings - I think it should be "Use Distiller to Generate Image".

Additionally I see "Do Not Regenerate Images" option whic is not described in the topic - how does it work? If I select both "Use Distiller to Generate Image" and "Do not Regenerate Images" - what happens?

Thanks

Hi there and welcome to our community

Silly question here. Are you using Adobe RoboHelp? If so, then you need to provide more detail about exactly what you are doing and how you are getting to these settings.

If not, you have posted to the wrong place and we need to figure out where exactly you need to be in order to get better help. If you aren't using RoboHelp, please advise us on exactly which of the Adobe products you are using.

Cheers... Rick

They're in the right place - just the wrong thread - this has to do with the conversion settings for FrameMaker docs, Rick.
