Problems importing Illustrator files

[David Creamer]

If you are using transparency in Illustrator, I would save your graphics out
as either EPS or PDF 1.3 for FrameMaker.

EPS and PDF 1.3 do not support transparency, so the art will be flattened.
As long as you use the default settings, it will include the original AI
file, so you can open the file to edit it later.

Be sure to use the High Resolution settings when flattening.

If you use any higher PDF settings (during a Save As), the PDF will maintain
any transparency and may not work properly.

For older programs, EPS will work just as good, since the programs usually
convert the PDF into an EPS internally. Plus, it is easier to manage in AI.
