problems with eps graphics in framemaker

[Michael O'Neill]

I don't know why it is happening, but I can say we have the same
problem.  For us, FrameMaker has always behaved this way, and I just
assumed that it was set in stone and couldn't be improved upon.  For
that reason, we don't work off the server. I don't remember if I ever
researched it or not. I inherited the problem from the last TW and was
told about it as if it were a known fact about FrameMaker.  I'd be
really interested to know if there is a fix for this as well.

FWIW: I'm using Frame 6.x and all our graphics are .eps.

Subject: problems with eps graphics in framemaker

Hello Framers. I'm having trouble bringing up EPS graphics imported by
reference in FrameMaker 7.2 and FrameMaker 8 documents. JPG, TIF, PNG,
and
other formats load quickly. However, a good sized EPS graphic imported
by
reference can take 5 minuets or more before it shows up. This only
happens
when working off the server. If I copy all files and work locally, EPS
graphics show up almost immediately.

The same EPS graphics load just fine in other applications (FreeHand 9,
MS
Word from Office 2003). The IT tech has done data transfer rate
benchmarks
and data is moving back and forth between the server and my laptop
normally;
laptop is an IBM ThinkPad T60p wide screen, with 3GB RAM, ATI graphics.
The
EPS graphics load just fine on my old Pentium III workstation.

Any insight as to what's happening would be appreciated.
