Having problems with importing an EPS file into FrameMaker ...

[Lin Sims]

As I recall, Frame doesn't display EPS natively. Instead, it uses a TIF
image which, as you noticed, is pretty horrible. When you print to PDF,
however, it'll look just fine. Unless there's some overriding reason you
need it to be lovely in Frame, I wouldn't worry about it. If there is, try
converting to SVG, which Frame handles just fine and is also a vector
format.
