Question

Preserving JPG resolution when importing Framemaker files

Using Rohohelp HTML 10 on win 7

Even though I set project settings to "do not regenerate images", when i import a Framemaker file (.fm), the images are regenerated to the FM anchored frame dimension (FM "object properties" scaling). This makes the RH imported image poor quality.

How do I preserve the original jpg image?  I would manually replace the images (copy and replace) from framemaker to the new RH project except it's a multi chapter framemaker book and i only want one chapter images (which means hunt and peck for the images).

Here's what i did:

  1. RH file>project settings> import tab> "edit conversion settings for framemaker documents"
  2. Selected "Image" and checked "do not regenerate images" left rest default settings
  3. Import Frame document>"edit conversion settings for framemaker documents" and checked "do not regenerate images".

I think my question got missed since Peter G. was only moving it from the robohelp html forum, not providing an answer. I am having a problem preserving JPG resolution when importing Framemaker files into Robohelp.

Jeff, Thank you for taking up my question.

All the images in framemaker were imported by reference into anchored frames.

I did adjust the "scaling" settings in framemaker object properties to make them fit. However, since they were imported by reference, the source images are not changed.

Are you suggesting that even though they are in framemaker by reference, since i adjusted the object properties, they will be reimaged (regardless) when imported into rohohelp?


Not sure – I don’t really use a lot of graphics in my FM to RH project, so I can’t help you too much with the subject. Have you had a look at some of the discussions in this forum about images?
