Imported graphic question

I made a graphic of a "tabbed folder" in a graphics program
(Photoshop). Just imagine a manilla folder with a tab at the top. I
saved it off as a PNG 24 graphic. When I imported it into Flash
(using Flash Pro 8), the area to the right of the tab displays in
white. Is there any way that I can fix this in Flash or
import/export it differently so that the area on the right of the
tab is transparent? I'm going to have several tabbed graphics and I
need the area on either side of the tab to be transparent so the
user can see the other available tabs. I'm hoping that the answer
isn't "construct the graphic in Flash" because it doesn't seem it
is preferable to do it there versus a graphic program. Thanks very
much.

export as PNG-24 and make sure transparency is selected - use
Save for Web in P'shop for this.

Generating a List of References in FM12 to include External Cross-References and Imported Graphics, but no Imported Graphic references show in the LOR. Is this a bug in FM12 or what am I doing wrong?

and has always generated the list of references just fine. Now in FM12, the LOR no longer will give any references for the Imported Graphics. I have even tried creating a new chapter from the FM12 templates, adding the chapter to the front of the book, and allowing FM12 to use that file as the template for the LOR. Still no success - it will not give any references to the Imported Graphics in my chapter files. Is this a bug in FM12? Is there something different about FM12 that would cause this not to work with existing FM11 files??? Please help, I need this resolved and working.
Thank you,
Beverly

Arnis and Jeff,
Thank you both very much for your assistance. I was able to figure out why the Adobe Application Manager kept failing on installing the patches. Idiot me didn't unzip them first. Once I unzipped the patch files, the installer worked fine. Both patches are now successfully installed; my FM version is now 12.0.2..
To answer some of your questions:
Yes, I have administrator privileges on my PC.
Yes, I had all of the files in the book opened when I generated and/or updated the LOR file. So that was not the issue.
With the patches installed, I opened a book and all of its files. I updated the LOR and all works fine – it gives me all of the Imported Graphic references. So there must have been an issue with that release of FM12 (12.0.0.329), which was fixed with the patches.
Again, thank you both for your help!
Best regards,
Beverly

Help!! Illustrator importing graphics

I have Illustrator CS5 (on mac) and ive run into a problem with importing graphics. I used to be able to import something and click on it with the direct selection tool and change the colours or remove sections if needed, now all I can do is click on it as a whole and not change anything.
I've gone through all the preferences and even reset to default and its not fixing the problem. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this?
Thanks,
Amber

Ok so im going to ask a dumb question, how do you break the link? Also these images I have on my computer, in the past i place them into an illustrator document, and have no issues changing the colours or deleting sections of them, now when i place the same images they are coming in as linked and I cant change then at all? Im not sure what preference I have changed to make this happen, is there any way to change it back so i dont have this issue?
Thanks
Amber

An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. The file has been saved

An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. The file has been saved, but has lost some image data. Please report this error to Adobe Technical Support.
How do i fix this, there are no images in the document
thanks

We are running FM version 7.2b144 on MS Win xp Pro (32 bit), and I did not notice this until service pack 3 was installed. I believe I have found a work around to the situation and another contributing cause. If graphic files are placed directly in an anchored frame instead of importing by reference, the file somehow becomes misplaced. If you right click the graphic and open the Object Properties dialog box, and see the phrase "no referenced file" below Main Editor: Referenced File: in the lower left hand corner, this has happened. I found if I removed all graphics files without references and imported them by reference, the source file may then be properly saved. I am also using a program called CCleaner, which removes cookies, temp files, browsing history and the like from a system. If the program settings are chosen too aggressively, and the application runs when FM has a file open, this same error will occur, even if all files are referenced properly. I don't know if SP3 has some similar application which is now running in the background and causing this.
To summarize, if you want to retain SP3, I have eliminated this error by confirming the links to referenced graphics files and avoiding using 3rd party "cleaners" while FM is open.

Width Wrong for Imported Graphics in Frame 9

Has anyone else had issues with Framemaker detecting the wrong width when importing graphics? As an example, when I import a JPG of a button that should be 21 x 21 pixels, Framemaker displays the width as 24px and the height as 21px. This results in a smashed graphic. If I adjust the dimensions of the graphic in FrameMaker to the correct dimensions, then print the PDF, the right border of the image is off.
I have tried capturing the graphic a variety of different ways, and I always experience the same results. I can import the graphic into Captivate or Word and the sizing is correct. Any ideas? Thanks!
I am using FrameMaker version 9.0p237 as part of the Technical Communication Suite 2.

I just tested this with a sample file at the 21x21 dimensions, and you are absolutely correct. FM9 screws up the dimensions (and default dpi resolution) for PNG and GIF files. I also tried BMP and TIF equivalents and these were ok. FM8 does not have this problem, so it looks like Adobe played with the PNG and GIF filters a bit (perhaps to get rid of all of the extra colours coming in).
For a JPG or PNG import of a 21x21 at 96dpi, FM9 seems to think that it is 24x21 at 110dpi. FM8 gets it right.
For a GIF import of the same, FM9 thinks it is 22x21 at 75dpi. FM8 got it right.
What's also strange is that if the dimensions are both even, e.g. 20x20 at 96dpi, then FM9 gets it right for the JPG, PNG and GIF. However, if the *first* dimension is odd, e.g. 21x20 it gets it wrong again as before, but if the second dimesion is odd, e.g. 20x21, the it gets it right. VERY WIERD!
It's definitely a BUG.
I would suggest that you either use BMP or TIF for now OR try to increase your icons by 1 pixel to make them an even size, e.g. 22x22.
I'd also recommend that you not use JPG for these, but rather GIF or PNG, because you may generate some unwanted artifacts in the JPG due to the lossy compression used.

Strange Facet of Imported Graphic: ò\e2

Hello Framers,
I am using Frame 7.1 and have just taken over a project from a colleague who is sometimes, er, careless with best practices.
So I MIF-washed all files (replacing all OLE2 graphics) and tried to save as RTF. Frame crashed. I looked at the Object properties of some imported graphics and found this:
A minute later I looked again at the same properties again and the Facet was "DIB" -- in other words normal.
This is the same graphic, same command (!go). In between I had looked at some other graphics and seen another with the strange facet. Because it is intermittent it was hard to get such a pair of grabs.
I looked in the MIF and could find nothing unusual (but I am by no means a MIF-guru).
Has anyone else seen such strange facets? Or have any ideas? As a workaround I shall try re-importing all graphics and hoping that the problem does not come back.
--- Derek

Thanks Sheila and Art,
Since this is an intermittent problem it's hard to investigate. I entirely agree about BMPs and embedding, but I inherited this project and that's how it is.
I do the Save As RTF because my SME is enamoured of Word; I convert the RTF into DOC and he can then edit in his favourite tool. With Track Changes I can then see what needs to be done in the Framemaker source.
I have Windows XP SP3 running with 2GB RAM so I don't think I am hitting a resource limit.
Before posting I had extracted all embedded graphics and included them as PNGs by Reference. But Save As RTF still crashed on one chapter; it was while investigating the graphics in that chapter that I stumbled on the strange facet problem.
I'm 99% certain that the Save As RTF crash is related to the graphics; if I delete all graphics the save goes OK. I cannot say for sure that it's related to the facets but an intermittent crash related to an intermittent strange facet sounds mighty suspicious.
Yesterday after posting I re-embedded all graphics (delete and re-import with ! f i f ) but it still crashed. So I converted the larger graphics to PNG and re-imported them. I tried a quick Save As RTF and it worked. Hurrah! So I repeated the Save, this time to another directory, and it crashed. This morning it crashed again (but not before I had made a copy of the successful save ! ). There are still small graphics (screen caps of buttons in running text) but it will take me ages to convert all of them (it took an hour to do the larger graphics).
Thus I have files to keep my SME happy for now, but there may be some nasty surprises waiting for me somewhere down the line. That's why I'd like to nail this to the wall. I'll try Art's suggestion of yet another MIF-wash (which will be the third) and report back if there's anything new.

Import graphics that don't need to be rendered?

Is there a graphic format for stills that I can bring into FC4.5 without having to render on the time line? I’m importing folders full of stills (screen grabs) to create narrated slideshows, and having to re-render every time I shift a transition point...boring!
Thanks!
dc

Interesting; so might I select a different codec until I’m done editing and ready to export, then switch back to Animation?
Ultimately, I’m knocking the file down with Squeeze, exporting as QT using “Current Settings,” and getting beautiful results with tiny files, at 6 fps. Btw, the imported graphics are the same size as the project.
Appreciate the comments.

Taking Files Home Then Returning - Imported Graphics

I'd be interested in techniques for copying Frame files from the office shared drive for homework purposes, then returning the files to the office, when those files have graphics imported by reference from the office shared drive.
Right now all the graphics links get broken when I do this, and require painstaking reconstruction. Not worth the trouble.
I use Frame 7.2 on Windows XP.

These are good ideas. I'm not sure if Monica's will work for me because my office Frame and graphics files are on a network shared drive ("H"), and my home PC is self-contained (all files on C). I haven't tried it lately, but I think when the Frame files hunt for imported graphics at home they will look for an H drive. Is there a way around that?
Accessing the office drives from home as Jack suggests is a possibility but our Citrix-based system has quirks that have always stymied my efforts.
I think what I'm looking for is a way to "turn off" the imported graphics links before saving the Frame files to my jump drive. I can work without the graphics at home. Then I could turn them back on when I copy the files back onto the office network drive.
Perhaps this is a wish list item....

Generating an LOR for imported graphics in a Frame 12 book is failing.

When I attempt to generate a List of References for imported graphics in Frame 12, all I get back are the PDFs and PS files. Why no SVGs or TIFs, or other graphics formats? Is there a setting somewhere that determines which types of graphics files will be listed?

Other files that are not included are SVG and JPEG.

Importing Graphic Styles

What is the best way to import graphic styles from another document (Win XP, JS)?
I know there are Document methods for importing CharacterStyles and ParagraphStyles... but why not graphic styles?

no direct way that I know of, but it is possible, I would
- create a temporary pathItem
- apply the desired Graphic Style
- copy the temp pathItem and paste in into the destination document
- delete the temp item from both source and destination documents
- loop thru all graphic styles if I needed all graphic styles imported

FrameMaker 5.5, imported graphics couldn´t be saved after editing

Hey togehther,
i have a problem with FrameMaker 5.5 on a Windows XP Workstation with Spervice Pack 2:
In case of editing an imported graphic in a FrameMaker documnet (e.g. an AutoCAD drawing) and saving the document after editing the drawing, FrameMaker crashes/freezes.
After reopening the document the drawing/graphic is not changed.
What cause can be present here?

Hi Okeller,
You may have placed an OLE link into the FM document by just copying and then pasting into FM. Hence Your double click can open the original application to edit the graphic. Avoid OLE like hell!
But you hear MMH: FM 5.5 is now 12 years old and XP is 5 years younger ...
Try the following:
- Double click on your graphic to open the app in which you edit it
- In this application create a graphic from the file, something that FM can handle: eps with preview or as the last a pixel image (tiff) and save this to the project directory
- in FM remove the graphic from the anchored frame and import the new graphic file by reference (not copy) and adapt size etc.

Internal Error - Writing Imported Graphics

We crated the Framemaker document and the last time we used it was in 2007.
Now we are on a new release of the software and need to update the manual in Framemaker.
When I open my saved framemaker documents I get an internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. Please report this error to Adobe Technical Support.
I cannot make changes or save any of my Framemaker documents.
Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this error?
Attached is the FrameLog.
Adobe FrameMaker 7.0
I have pasted in graphics and links to powerpoint slides.
Windows XP service pack 3
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with FrameMaker 7.0. I'm trying to resist upgrading to 9.0 because we're using an older version of ePublisher for our help that is not compatible with FrameMaker 9.
The object I am trying to import is a diagram created in Word by one of my developers. He wants the text of the graphic to be selectable in the PDF, so I think I must insert it by OLE and not as a screenshot I import.
I have selected File > Import > Object > Microsoft Word Picture and then have selected Create from File and have pasted in the Word graphic. Not only does this cause trouble for me in sizing the graphic in FrameMaker but I get the same error mentioned in this thread:
An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. The file has been saved, but has lost some image data. Please report this error to Adobe Technical Support.
I just reinstalled FrameMaker, thinking that a previous trial of Frame 9 may have messed up my graphics filters. I'm getting the same problem still.
What is the best way to insert this object and retain its connection to Word?

Imported graphics partially obscurred by black rectangles in PDF

When I PDF a document with a lot of imported graphics, alot of the graphics are partially obscurred by black rectangles. I'm using the Adobe PDF print driver. Many of the graphics are BMPs (I inherited the files, I know it's a dumb format to use).
I've tried reimporting the graphics but still no luck.
I'm using structured Frame + SGML 6.0.
Any ideas?

Distiller 7.0
FrameMaker+SGML 6.0p357
Windows XP Pro SP 2
Acrobat 7
(Don't know about the updates)
It's running in emulation mode on a UNX box, so perhaps that makes a difference, but I think it has something to do with the graphics, since they don't always show the black box.

Imported graphic looks soft/pixelated

I designed an arrow in Photoshop that I saved as a .Tiff and want to bring into FCP. It seems real soft around the edges (almost pixelated). Anyone have any advice for importing graphics that look good.
Thanks.

1. Are you suggesting that I change this to something else?
If you want your graphics to look good, yes. DV is the very BOTTOM of the barrel SD...and it doesn't treat graphics well. Change your sequence settings to ProRes for SD, or DV50 and they will look better. You will have to render everything, but the graphics will look better.
CAVIAT: If you are going to put this back on tape then don't do this. DV50 or ProRes cannot be output to a DV tape. If you are going back to tape, then you will have to live with the quality of the graphics. It is what it is. GIGO... Garbage In, Garbage Out.
2. I have already edited most of the project. Will it cause any problems to change it at this point?
Well, you will have to render every clip...but you can wait until you output. You will get a bright green render bar above the footage, but it will still play fine. But it won't look full quality until you render everything.
