[Framers] Appearance of graphics in the generated PDF

[tammyvb at spectrumwritingllc.com]

Thanks, but I tried this approach and the equations are not being recognized
as media/graphics objects. There is no media folder w/ the equations as
PNGs. I have no idea why they are being recognized as media objects for a
web export, but not this approach. The equations are being rasterized at a
quality that is good enough for the web, but definitely not for print. I
have a workaround that Ric helped me with , but it's a long tedious one but
at this point, I don't know if I have any other options. I will keep taking
any and all thoughts. Thanks! TVB Tammy Van Boening Tammy dot vanboening at

Possibly you don't have to save as html. I can't check this right now, but
docx, is itself xml. This is how you can get graphics from a Word docx, by
changing extension to zip Text below is from a text from David Creamer to
this list a few years ago, but I don't remember where I learnt it There are
various tutorials on the web I might suggest a slightly different way of
getting the graphics out of a Word file (works for PowerPoint too)... Make
sure the file is in the .docx format, not .doc (and .pptx, not .ppt) Make a
copy of the file for safety Change the file extension from .docx to .zip
Open the zip file Look for the doc folder (or ppt) Look for the media folder
All the graphics are there--usually in a higher quality than a web export
