FM12 - "Black" images in HTML5 output

Hello

I'm using Framemaker 12, and I work with HTML5 output to publish online helps.

In my FM files, I use PNG images which are in anchored frames.

My problem is, after I did the HTML5 output, my images appear "black" as you can see below. Any idea about where this problem comes from would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks a lot.

Hi Arnis,

In fact the problem was in the transparency. My images are transparent .png files, and it looks like FM (still) does not know how to deal with transparency, and puts black where my images are transparent.

Hmmm, there are no black images in the sample that you've posted? Can you try again in case that was the wrong image.

FM was designed using a postscript imaging model, which doesn't support transparency. Sometimes using a Fill of None applied to a graphic provides the desired result.
