Photo Truncation in Frame to PDF Creation

[Bethany Lee]

Oran,
Thanks so much for this. Odd, I've never had this problem before, and even this document I have turned into a PDF and it didn't do this. It was just on Tuesday when I needed a new version and turned it into a PDF, the photo was truncated. I found a work around (smaller photo), but your work around is better. 

Unless, as you ask there is a better solution.

Thanks again,

Bethany

Subject: Photo Truncation in Frame to PDF Creation

I saw a recent sidebar comment that a list member was finding photos truncated in pdf output. 
There is a long-time bug in FrameMaker that impacts photos/files imported and rotated, such as you might do with a landscape panoramic to make it fit the long way in a portrait file. If the long dimension of the rotated file is less than the page width it will not be truncated and if greater it will be truncated. 

If you rotate in Frame, you will find the photo truncated to the width of the portrait page size in pdf output, with white space above/below. So any rotated landscape photo, as an example, will be restricted to portrait width in the pdf, even though there is plenty of room for it on the page. It looks OK in Frame, which can really set you up for a hit. 

My solution is to rotate the photo in a photo editor prior to importing into Frame. Then all is good, as Frame is not doing the rotation. 
If anyone else has a solution I would like to hear it.
