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

[Mike Wickham]

It has been a long time, so I'm not positive that I'm remembering this 
correctly, but I recall that issue having something to do with either 
using EMF or WMF files-- that it was a limitation of the file type. I 
also seem to remember some issues related to CMYK where, if graphics 
were not EPS files, they would be channeled through Windows GDI and come 
out as RGB (and maybe processed into EMF or WMF along the way?) Anyway, 
the solution for me, at the time, was merely to always use EPS graphics 
in my documents, if I ever wanted correct CMYK output. Again, it has 
been a while since I worked with FM (FM 10). So forgive me if I'm not 
remembering this quite right. And I realize that FM support for CMYK may 
have changed since then.
