<p>Well, FrameMaker is not a very reliable and handy tool for editing graphics.<br />There may be better and more accurate tools for this like Adobe Illustrator.</p>
<p>Concerning your question about cropping: </p>
<p>a) The easiest way would be to work with pixel-related formats like tiff, not with postscript-formats like eps or pdf.</p>
<p>b) If cropping is not effective throughout the whole workflow on a pdf, you may simply place the whole pdf in a frame as described in step (4), but then reduce the size of the frame according to the requested cropping.</p>
<p>c) There may be tools that can crop postscript information. <br />I once worked with Quite Imposing to produce a booklet and found that postscript information from the original pdf that had been (invisible) outside the page frame was in fact completely removed in the booklet.<br />Maybe somebody else in the forum has a good idea how to deal with it.</p>

<pre>1a. The original pdf is an outline drawing from google maps done in
Generic CAD. As part of that process, the original pdf also had a title,
a ruler to measure the map in increments, and some notes at the bottom.
1b. This drawing was cropped using Adobe Acrobat XI tools which removed
the title, ruler and notes.
2a. The second file is a Frame 12 document which imported the cropped
pdf from Item 1 onto the master page.
2b. On the body page of the Frame document are some hundreds of numbers
(dots on the map).
2c. This looks just great in Frame and prints properly.
3. Save as pdf in Frame brings the uncropped image from Item 1a as part
of the pdf from 2c.
4. The pdf generated in item 3 will be inserted as an anchored frame in
a new document.
How to fix # 3, i.e. to get the cropped file to stay cropped?
Following that, I'll have to figure out how to accomplish #4—which may
not be a problem if I can fix # 3.
Thanks in advance,
Theresa
