White ruling on Frame tables/

[Fernan M. Dominguez]

Hi Art,

 

Thanks for your reply. 

 

When using a single line for the outside border, it is very noticeable
in all cases (Frame screen display, PDF, and hard print.)

 

When using a double line for the outside border:

*         It is NOT noticeable in the Frame screen display; not even at
1600%

*         It is noticeable in PDF but the visual impact changes with
zoom magnification. It is really bad at 100% because the white pixels
seem to be covering a significant percent (50%?) of the first
border-line width. At higher magnifications, it becomes clear that the
horizontal lines are superimposed over the vertical lines by only one or
two pixels.

*         It is noticeable but tolerable in hard print at 100%.

 

The PDF rendition is the most relevant for my customer.

 

Thanks,

 

Fernan

Is this happening only in the Frame screen display, or in PDFs, or hard
print, or all of the above?

Hi,



I would appreciate any help or advice about  an issue I have just
noticed with FrameMaker under Windows. I am using version 9 under Vista,
but I have checked that what I describe here also applies to versions 6
through 8 under XP.



I need to create a table with white horizontal ruling lines and black
borders around the entire table. (The cells' background is in a shade of
gray.)



*         If I select a single line for the black border, the white
horizontal ruling lines are drawn completely across the vertical border
lines.



*         If I select a double line for the border, the white horizontal
lines are superimposed by a pixel or two over the first vertical border
line. This superposition is more evident when the document is printed to
PDF.



In both cases the table general appearance is strange to say the least.



Is there a way to draw white ruling lines that do not cross the table
border lines?



Thank you very much,



Fernan M. Dominguez
