FM bloat (NO PDF)

[Rene S.]

Thanks all. FWIW, we had switched from TIF to JPG for this graphic to try to
lower the file size. I round-tripped through MIF, and it didn't help. :-\
So I converted the graphic to TIF instead of JPG, once using LZW compression
and once using CCITT4 compression, and I still had the same problem. The
source file is in Corel Draw. The CDR file is 8 MB.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Rene

The dull thud you hear is the sound of my head banging on my desktop
repeatedly...

No idea why it's happening, but the old standby, Save As MIF, might help
-- either by cleaning up the file, or by allowing you to examine the MIF
for screwy content.

Have you tried copying that jpg into an otherwise empty fm doc?

Can you change the file format to TIFF or EPS and copy it in?

HTH,
