Raster Images Cropped in PDF output if Rotated and Full Page

Oran,

This is an older FrameMaker bug.  You need to change an advanced  
printer setting.  Change the graphic resolution to 600 dpi (I believe  
the default is 1200 dpi).  This should keep this behavior from  
occurring.

Best Regards,

Brad
