Unwanted hairlines around graphics in pdfs created by FM11

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

In my experience, this has happened for one of the following reasons:

1. The JPEG has the line in there as a row (or few) of single-color pixels that are different from the rest of the image - this requires fixing in an image editing program to remove.

2. The FM instance of that image has outline on the frame - perhaps in a white color?

The first has proven to be the most common reason for me. My fix is to use the "Trim" option available in most graphics programs. The only thing to be concerned about is that editing a JPG, making changes, and then saving it back as a JPG will cause some image quality loss if you are not careful.

However, some additional questions for you too:

1. Is your background white or is it some other color? Meaning, does the thin white line matter (or show enough to matter)?

2. What is the original resolution of the JPG? Is it being shrunk or expanded when it is placed in the FM file? And is the aspect ratio of the image kept unchanged when it is shrunk or expanded?

3. Is the thin line showing around all four sides of the image when PDF'ed? Or just one side (e.g., only below the image perhaps)?

If you want to send a page (or two) from the FM file original and the resulting PDF output to look at, please feel free to send it along (not to the entire list though!).

Dear Framers:
I am stuck once more.
I am printing a single file to pdf via the .ps route.
However, I am finding that each and every graphic (all jpgs below 250kb) is surrounded by a thin white INDELIBLE HAIRLINE.
No hairlines are visible in FM 11
I cannot find the answer in the manual or the lists.
A few Google hits suggest that it occurs in the flattening process but not specific to FM I am quite certain it is in the print settings, but I have become dizzy changing them. 

I am printing using the Smallest File Size option
