LiveOak Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 This is supported, but only in FM 5.5 running under Macintosh OS X. OS X has a lot of PDF underpinnings. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbaliner Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 look into GhostScript product. I don't know much about it, you'll have to do the research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoethner Posted October 31, 2001 Share Posted October 31, 2001 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoethner Posted November 23, 2001 Share Posted November 23, 2001 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies macandrew Posted December 2, 2001 Newbies Share Posted December 2, 2001 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
