<p>Hi Ed,</p>
<p>instead of using "impsize" you could try "dpi". This attribute would at least respect the ratio of the imported graphic file.</p>
<p>The definition of "dpi" in the attlist is:<br />dpi NMTOKEN #IMPLIED <!--ignored if impsize specified--><br />(as described in the STRUCTURE APPLICATION DEVELOPER GUIDE)</p>
<p>It would also produce a kind of scaling: <br />A graphic file originally designed for 300 dpi would have a smaller representation if "dpi" is set to 400.<br />Of course, all files should have equivalent resolution settings.</p>
<p>I don't know how FrameMaker will handle a dpi-related "size" with a PDF, though...<br />I have only used this for tiff files.</p>
<p>Good luck -</p>

<div>I have 130 images created in Illustrator and saved as PDFs</div>

In my XML I have image tags such as:

<div>without the impsize attribute<br />

<div>The images saved as PDF are larger than I want. I can add impsize attributes to all of the image tags, but I'll have to be careful to get the width-height ratio correct.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Question: Is there a scale attribute to define and use or a similar mechanism. Or, maybe someone knows how to produce scaled PDF outputs.</div>
