[Framers] Appearance of graphics in the generated PDF

Fri Aug 6 11:03:02 PDT 2021

What I was thinking was import the one RTF file into FrameMaker, then save
the graphics out since once it's in Frame it's a PNG. Someone like Rick
Quatro or Russ Ward or Bernard Aschwanden probably has a script that does
that already, or can write one for not too much money.

Although from the point of wanting a vector graphic, Rick's workaround is
obviously a better solution and probably about equally tedious. :)

You can join the Word-PD list here:
word-pc-subscribe-request at liverpool.ac.uk

You don't have to put anything in the subject or message body.

Good luck. I'm sorry we haven't been able to come up with anything beyond a
really, really manual solution so far.
