[Framers] Quality of vector graphics created in FrameMaker is bad in CMYK PDF output

[Klaus Daube]

Dear all,
In the German FM forum (https://groups.google.com/g/frameusers-de/c/r52QypX3oQs) a 
severe bug is reported. It appears not only in FM-15 (2019), but also in FM-16 
(2020):

Graphical elements containing curves or circles, created with the corresponding 
FrameMaker tools, are not output to PDF as bezier curves. Instead there are very 
rough and segmented lines only approximating the original curves or circles. This 
function has been working perfectly in FrameMaker 2015 (all curves ended up as bezier 
curves in CMYK PDFs), but is broken/bad since FrameMaker 2019. This quality is 
unusable for printable PDF output.

Please vote on the two bug-reports https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-10670 and 
10674

There is still need for CMYK support even in the time of 'responsive HTML5'. New 
legal regulations in the medical field (e.g. IVDR) even lead to more rather than 
fewer printed manuals in some places.

Klaus
