Question

Imported images are too small

Hi,

when I link Framemaker documents that contain screenshots then the images generated in Robohelp are too small. I tried various import settings but without success so far. If I set the "size" setting to e.g. 150%, then the resulting images are larger, but totally pixled and unreadable. I also tried setting the size to 0pt as it has been suggested in some threads but to no avail.

It seems that Robohelp resizes the images based on their dpi values in Framemaker. Simply enlarging them in Framemaker improves the quality of the imported images but of course destroys the Framemaker-layout.

Some threads I’ve seen get around this by having 2 sets of images in the FM source & then conditioning them so that one is intended for PDF output & the other for RH.

Thanks for the hint, that might work out however I would have hoped that an easier solution exists (after all, Adobe calls this "FramerMaker integration"..)

Don’t hold your breath – there’s a lot of FM to RH weirdness out there. Half the problem is that the 2 products weren’t developed together in the first place, so making them play nice now is much tougher.
