Frame 9 - setting specific graphic sizes in dita xml jobs

[Pattie Alsop]

DITA Data is coming in directly from a content management system. We are trying to use FrameMaker as the authoring/editing tool, and the final deliverable would be PDF.
Legacy data is the issue, when it comes into frame all graphics are built as 1 column wide, but they are not scaled to fit within the graphic block.

I don’t know if the best way to control it is through the EDD or read/write rules.

If I can’t get this to work soon they will go with another xml edit tool.

What kind of output are you creating? What applications are you using to create your output?

Hello all,

I’m relatively new to Frame 9.  I have worked in previous versions but that was quite a few years ago.

My problem is this:
DITA XML Job.

EDD has entries for Figure and Image tags.
Ex: Image …
in all contexts
insert imported graphic file

My page layout is landscape, 3 columns, so when this file opens in Frame, the graphic  is cut off because it should display across the page, and not just in one column.

I need to be able to control the object properties(?) based on the image width attribute.
I have 3 different possible width values, 1 column, 2 column, and 3 columns wide.

How do I achieve that?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

-Pattie
