<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">I have a simple Visio drawing containing basic Visio shapes (e.g., a rectangle with a green background). I inserted a PNG (an icon with a transparent background) via Insert-->Picture-->From File and put it on top of the rectangle. So far, everything looked perfect. However, when I embedded the Visio drawing in Framemaker (without resizing), the icon became fuzzy and distorted. When I opened the Visio from Framemaker - everything looked fine again, but when I closed it, the icon had a stroke ;-). I wasn't too concerned with that as I've seen many times that Framemaker distorts images, but when converted to PDF, they look OK again. However, it wasn't the case this time.</div>

<div style="RIGHT: auto">When I converted the FM file to PDF (File --> Save as PDF), the icon itself looked OK, BUT it was surrounded by a white background! In the Distiller settings, I deselected the "CMYK to RGB" option, and generated the PDF again -- the white background disappeared, but the icon looked fuzzy and distorted as in Framemaker.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Do you have any ideas what makes FM and Distiller distort the drawing, and how to solve this problem?</div>
