FM12 Transparent Graphics

[A Craig]

I had a similar problem and was told that you can't layer images in
FrameMaker (it's a writing tool, not a layout tool like InDesign).

I ended up having to create the image I needed as a one off. But this might
not work for you if you want the "watermark" on every page.

Hello Framers,

We are using FM 12 (TCS 5) on Windows 7 PCs.

The company has a new document style that includes a background image, which
is a bit like having a watermark on the cover page.  In modifying the design
of our templates, we have placed the background image on the master page.

When we add a product image to the body page, the white background of the
product image masks a portion of the background image.   We have tried
images (referenced from a common image folder) of the following types:
Adobe Illustrator (*.ai), Adobe Photoshop (*.psd), *.png, and *.eps.

Even though we have carefully created knocked
out images with transparent
backgrounds, we have not been able to avoid the masking effect.

We would appreciate any ideas.

Thank you,

Ed DeRosier
