Question

PDF as referenced graphic in FM not appearing in RH

(FM12 > RH11 and new to RH)

My FM file references a pdf graphic. The graphic is placed in a FM table.

Other referenced graphics in the FM file use the same table mechanism, but those graphics are png's.

After FM > RH linking and conversion, RH displays the png's as expected and does not display the pdf.

What am I missing?

Why the pdf instead of another png? A master file for one of the graphics is in Visio 2007 (yes), and the png export filter is not producing high quality, so I tried the pdf instead. If pdf does not work with RH and another graphical format does (.tif?), then I can export that format from Visio.

Best regards,

Is the PDF in an anchored frame within the table? AFAIK, only graphics in anchored frames get converted.

@Arnis,

Thanks.

Yes, the PDF is referenced by the FM file the same as the png's: click in the table cell and then File > Import > File.

Best,

As a test, try putting the PDF in an anchored frame NOT in a table – on it’s on line for example – then see how it appears in the RH project.
