Graphics quality - Mif2Go

[Kelly McDaniel]

I use FrameMaker 9 in TCS2 patched to p250 on Win32 XP Pro SP3 box.
I use PNG format exclusively, SnagIt 8 to take screenshots and edit, and set to 96 DPI on all graphics in a FrameMaker frame-shrink.

Recently, after p250 upgrade, I have experienced spontaneous "reformatting" of random graphics. The only evident pattern is that the graphics appear to be reformatted to a lower DPI setting than 96 DPI, although FM still displays Object Properties as 96 DPI, and that the issue continues to plague me. I review my work in FM, build a PostScript file, and distill the PS into a PDF. The gnarly graphics are usually noticed in a 3rd party review of the PDF. When I check my FM source, the graphic I had previously confirmed as "good" is now gnarly. The fix is to locate the offending graphic,  double-click it to open in my default tool, SnagIt 8, then save it. That's all. When I return to FM, the graphic is "as coded." Due to the state of Adobe Support, I have not reported this issue. (I trust that R. J. and Jeremy are lurking.)

In conclusion, my belief is that Mif2Go grabs the graphic from FrameMaker and uses it the way it finds it. You may very well have the same/related issue as I have experienced...regards, Kelly.

Dear all,

we are generating EclipseHelp and OmniHelp for our documentation and chose Mif2Go. Everything runs perfect except on one point: after conversion, graphics are there, well layed out but of terrible quality. I attach an original picture and its generated counterpart. We've played with GraphicExportDPI and GraphicExportFormat but to no avail so far.

Do you have any strategy for obtaining graphics of a decent quality in our HTML output? I guess it is something to be thought about from scratch, when importing them in Frame. Is there any rule to respect (for instance, import in xx DPI in Frame, then set GraphicExportDPI to xx DPI)?

Thank you very much in anticipation,
Mathieu.

P.S.: work environment is FM9 on Vista 64.
