October 3, 200124 yr Newbies hi, is ther a way to import PDF files into a container in FM?, maybe with a special extention or something like that?
October 3, 200124 yr This is supported, but only in FM 5.5 running under Macintosh OS X. OS X has a lot of PDF underpinnings. -bd
October 30, 200124 yr look into GhostScript product. I don't know much about it, you'll have to do the research.
October 31, 200124 yr Sorry blue acid, this is for Live Oak Admin Would you please clarify pdf under OS X. I thought that I had read pdf import being part of ver. 5.5. I have my client (who's running 9.x on a G4, so we could go OS X) update last week and FM doesn't see the pdf. I call tech support and speak with Hudson and he told me I couldn't do it. Thanks for your help. Steve
November 23, 200124 yr Hello, I had the time to try the admin's suggestion and it worked. I setup OSX and FM 5.5 for OS X and it imported pdfs without a hitch. Your catch will be saving the pdf in the resolution that you want but the FM side works! Good Luck Steve
December 2, 200124 yr Newbies Well, yes, you can import PDFs into FM 5.5 in OS X -- sort of. It appears that all you are importing is the 72dpi preview image, not the actual PDF data. Which is useless. PDF is the replacement for the PICT format for graphics in OS X -- FM needs to support it for real, not this kludge. BTW PICT import looks even worse, the text does not appear in the proper fonts. Utterly useless.
